My community? [A bright laugh as he watches, dutifully, hands perched on hips.] If you mean my family or my village, then yes, I suppose that's indeed correct. I learned to skate as a child thanks to my parents, as well as some older kids who lived nearby. When you grow up in such a rural location, well, you have to find ways to occupy yourself. We were always getting into things, haha...
[Ah, nostalgia. He focuses after that, however—'Xiao' isn't a name he recognizes, but he does like the sound of it. It reminds him of distant lands, faraway, loyal to different gods.]
Nice to meet you! My name is Tartaglia, but you may also call me Childe. You're doing very well so far with the marching. I can tell that you're a quick learner. Once you believe you have your balance, you can try to glide while you're doing that. Like so— [He walks in place, then allows his feet to partially slide across the ice with each step, a minimal transition from 'marching' to 'gliding'.] You should consider also practicing how to fall. It's best to do it so that you don't hit your head and seriously injure yourself.
