[So Thea, in her infinite genius, has determined that Laurel simply needs weighted shoes to keep her on the ground. Which involves Thea going out and buying Laurel the heaviest roller blades she can find.
This is a solution that actually works really well. The skates keep her weighted to the ground so as long as the wind isn't too strong, she can glide along safely without blowing away and she packs her regular shoes with her once she's in a room with a ceiling, and is fairly likely to not float very high. The only downside is that her feet are on wheels which means if a good gust of wind does happen to catch her, she goes speeding down the sidewalk, way way faster than she meant to.
Upside, when she inevitably collides with Nate, she doesn't weigh that much, so he probably barely feels it. She's mostly grateful just not to be moving.]
Sorry! I'm sorry!
[But then she looks and sees who she collided with and the thought process is something along the lines of oh hey it's Nate's ... abs. Those are Nate's abs. Those ... are very nice abs.
Also he's very shiny.
She swallows for a moment, before pushing back a little awkwardly, doing her best to keep herself steady.]
