[The thing about Benedikta is not only has she always been a quick learner, but her stubborness and pride and an annoying need to prove herself is what keeps her persevering. Even when she trips and then grumbles and swears, she rights herself and tries again. Maybe if he hadn't called her bluff earlier, she would have given this up; thrown her skates at him and said enough was enough, but no...
Just like with reading, with a sword, and with her wings, she wants to show him and herself that she can.
So, after several more failures and reattempts, she finally manages to get herself gliding forward properly for the first time. She's still rather stiff about it, but it's better than looking like a duckling, as he so kindly pointed out.]

I think I did it...
