Basil has never been fond of figure skating and in general rarely skated, but I think that it was he and Alex who instilled in his son a love of skating, yes x] I think that at first Evan really studied and learned to skate with Basil, but later this responsibility fell on Alexander's shoulders, since Evan was with him more interesting
and a little later, thanks to Basil's assertiveness and importunity, his son was able to enter the figure skating club in order to improve normally. (I'll try to draw Basil on the ice a little later;])
