The encounter with the hard water might have made him feel self-conscious, were he with anyone but his Ma. With Ma he could be anything- silly, brave, strong, young, playful, serious. Just never weak, because with Ma beside him, what did the boy possibly have to be weak about?

Still, Zèklè sniffed at the stuff uncertainly, not yet willing to pull himself up and risk falling everywhere all over again. He tried to look at where Ma was standing, but then all of a sudden she was gone, and then there was a thud and Ma laughed (which was the best thing, in his mind) and slid past him in a flash of blue. "Whoa!" he cried as she nicked his hock, sending him spinning across the ice. "Wh-wh-whooooaaaaaa!" He was laughing as he yelled, panic and delight equally rampant in his jovial mind. Was there anything more fun than this?!

"Ice," he repeated diligently after Ma, scrambling to get closer to her as she rolled. Slate hooves clawed helplessly against the slippery stuff. Zero stuck out his tongue in fearsome concentration, face furrowing as he struggled with all five limbs, but at last it paid off. He collapsed, triumphant, beside his Ma, small lungs heaving the frigid air, and snuggled his way against Ampere's side, looking for warmth.

Don't lick it! It was, of course, the wrong thing to say, for the boy's ears immediately picked up, interest brightening his sunbeam eyes. "Really?" he demanded, more excited than unbelieving. He had no reason to doubt his Ma- but he also had no reason not to try it for himself. If being unable to fly had left any lasting effect on the boy, it manifested in his insatiable need to do everything, try everything, and do the best at everything, all of the time.

So of course he reached out a tender pink tongue and licked the ice, though the results were initially disappointing. It didn't taste particularly interesting, or burn, or hurt- really, it only tingled a little. Disgruntled, he pulled his small head back, and his eyes grew wide with panic and amazement and childlike wonder when, as promised, the ice licked back.

"Ma!" he cried, laughing through his fear, "Maaa! 'm duck!"

Everything is awesome when we're living our dream
