[ He was starting to feel the burn in his legs by the time he got to the half way point. Doing the program all the way through was tough, and he was seriously starting to understand why skaters didn't just get both short and long programs done in one night. Of course his first program had to be closer to the length of a long program. He swore he enjoyed punishing himself. ]

[ He went in for another jump as the music started to pick up, and he ended up stumbling on the landing. Adachi flinched, mad at himself; no, no, he'd practiced this part a lot. He wasn't going to screw it up because it was his first time putting it in the whole program. ]

[ The blades on his skates flashed as he went through the step sequence, flecks of red dancing along the ice after him. He had stopped using the rental skates a long time ago, having finally purchased his own pair from a catalog that had "mysteriously" been slipped into his bad after one of his late night sessions. He knew who did it, he was just amazed the old man had managed to sneak down without him noticing. ]

[ The program winded down along with the music, and Adachi held the ending pose for a moment after the music ended, before dropping to the ice, breathing hard. Holy shit he was spent. How the hell did Viktor and Yuri spend seven hours doing stuff like this? ]

[looseleaves]

Adachi-san?! Are you alright?

[ The way he dropped was worrying, but what had been on his mind was the stumble--it looked like it hurt... of course the show had to go on, though. ]

[sleight_of_hand]

I’m fine, I’m fine!

[ He leaned his head back so he could look up at Hajime upside down, a big, goofy grin on his face. ]

W-wow, doing that for four minutes is exhausting~!

[ But he was already working out in his head what he needed to work on... and the lack of variety in jumps was seriously lame. Should he try bothering that Otabek guy again? Or... well, maybe it could be a good bonding experience with Yuri? ]

[looseleaves]

[ The smile puts him at ease, and he finds himself laughing quietly at his words. ]

It was worth it though, it looked spectacular~ like you were floating, sometimes! Mm, of course you made your jumps but... in general! Performing will really wear you out...

[sleight_of_hand]

Y-yeah; I don’t know how Viktor and Yurio make this look so easy.

[ Well, other than dedicating their whole lives to it. It was still crazy and it gave him a whole new appreciation for what they did. ]

[ Adachi finally sat up after a moment, feeling something let out a satisfying pop as he stretched before climbing back to his feet. ]

There’s still work I gotta put into it, but I’m feeling pretty confident~!

[ Hopefully that confidence would hold when he was performing in front of Viktor. ]

[looseleaves]

They've broken records back home, haven't they? Hmmm... I know the feeling of thinking that way. It's daunting...

[ Thinking about how many units there were, how many were stronger and put on such beautiful performances... he remembers that feeling really well. Still gets it, from time to time. ]

Do you want me to play it again?

[sleight_of_hand]

Nah, not right yet. I need a break after that.

[ He was already heading for the barrier, going to clip the blade guards on before stepping off the ice. Adachi grabbed for his water bottle first, reaching down to rub fondly at his little pup's head, before downing half the bottle. ]

[looseleaves]

Alright~

[ ... the song still plays in his mind though, and his fingertips tap against the barrier as he thinks. Where had the music left off, and where can he integrate it? It's not long before he's humming the last few notes he remembers and starting anew, keeping the soul of the song...

And then, he pauses. ]

Ah, may I ask a question? Hehe, I suppose I just did... um, do you think Maurtia Falls is really dangerous?

[sleight_of_hand]

Mm...?

[ Adachi paused, tilting his head thoughtfully. ]

It depends on the area? Most of the lowlifes stay away from imPort housing. Probably because if they tried messing with anyone there, it wouldn't end very well for them.

[looseleaves]

I meant the actual city... sometimes I need to go there and it's making someone I look up to a little exasperated, I think~ But I don't think I'm in that much danger...

There are families that live there too, after all...

[sleight_of_hand]

Hm... well, overall, Maurita Falls is the most dangerous of the porter cities. But, I mean...

[ He let out a faint noise. ]

It's not like it's Tokyo.

[looseleaves]

Hehe, right?

[ He can't help but smile at that quip. ]

I thought it was probably a little overprotective, but I wanted to make sure that I wasn't being unreasonable.
