Cooled down (for bladeinthecrowd)

[blindingtrust]

Ivy had a long day. Tests and final papers plagued her since the last time she had been here. The life of a student could be stressful which is why she was taking a much needed break. She was in her usual clothing which consisted of her long coat, which lay unbuttoned, a white collared shirt that had the top two buttons undone, and dark slacks.

But her shoes had been removed. As well as her socks. She had even seen fit to remove her sunglasses. She was just content to sit and let her mind unload all that information that kept spinning through her head.

She's not dozing off. Really. Her head dropping against her chest means nothing. It's just the tree she's under is so nice and the air is so warm. She can't help it if she's relaxing and just happens to find herself snoozing a bit.

Ivy will never ever compare this to being led around like a pull toy. But in a tiny corner of her mind, this is nice. Justt a tiny part. Don't woory folks Ivy will not think on that for very long.

Though his hand on her back? That has her mentally do a cheer. But now orders are being given so she is going to follow them.

And she takes that first step. Is she on some kind of blance beam?

Indeed Altaїr had managed to find a way to make a pseudo balance-beam out of a huge fallen log. No worries, he checked to make sure it wasn't rotten or anything beforehand.

"Walk in a straight line until I say 'stop'," he said as he let go of her carefully so as not to unbalance her. Yes, he was expecting her to trust completely in him to not let her fall or walk off the end of the log.

Good because Ivy is trusting him to not get her hurt. It would break that trust a bit if she fell through a rotting log.

Ivy nods and keeps her cane just in front of her. Then she steps so she's standing side ways. She moves very carefully so she's standing like normal after a few steps. She's mostly testing to see what works best for this. But she is moving at least. A few times she does stumble just a bit in the middle. But it does look like the center of her sense of blance is in the cane. Without it she's lost. They may want to work on that.

Altaїr is actually already one step ahead of this; when he sees her relying heavily on the cane he swipes it from her rudely. He does, however, leave a hand at her elbow to make sure she doesn't fall when he does this.

"You'll never get anywhere relying on something other than yourself," he says without emotion. After a moment he removes his hand and waits for her to continue.

Ivy nearly fell. It was like being really blind. To not have that cane to give her a sense of where she was well it was very difficult for her to do anything but stand very still.
"Bu..." She stops speaking. Then focuses on just moving. She wobbles pretty badly at first. It takes her a few steps before she looks almost comfortable doing this. Or it could be she's good at hiding her facial expression.
