He sets the phone down again on the platform -- X can be trusted not to step on it, and there's no particular reason to hang onto it for this -- and steps out onto the wire.
There's always a certain amount of care involved in crossing a wire. But this has been Trowa's day job for the past seven years, and it's always come naturally to him; there's none of the caution X employed.
Trowa's never particularly cared about showing off. He's not opposed, but he feels no drive to do so for its own sake. Doing acts for an audience is different; that's a performance and a job, not personal.
However, he's fine with providing an example for X of what can be done on a low wire, and what his job entails.
Accordingly, when he reaches the middle of the wire, he sets himself briefly (very briefly) and does a simple flip.

Less simple ones will follow.
