"Would you look at that. Fun and practical!" With a grin, Einin strode up to the counter--and she couldn't help but give Ryk an incredulous look at what he told the man.
Until she succeeded or gave up?
Her grin widened. "I could end up bankrupting you," she said as she picked up the first bean bag. "You know I won't give up, so let's hope I succeed!"
The goal, as it turned out, was to knock down five targets--large smiling, plush animals that were heavier than they looked. She had eight bags to accomplish that with. Her first throw had the bean bag glancing off one target, barely nudging it, and her second missed it completely. Hrm. Einin's eyes narrowed in concentration, face scrunching up, and she closed one eye and took more careful aim. This time she hit a target right in the center, but didn't throw hard enough to knock it over; it tipped, and then righted.
"What the--!? I hit that! I totally hit that!"
Now it was a matter of pride. With an exasperated sound, she squared her stance, pulled her arm back, and threw as hard as she could. Two more hits, and she finally took out the one, leaving her with three bags. Ergh. It was impossible to meet the goal on this try, now. Unless she found a way to knock some into the others? That was what she went for next, and missed one throw, glanced off another, and almost tipped over the last one.
This was more difficult than it looked.
She motioned for more bean bags. "Stupid little animals," she muttered, picking up a bag and bouncing it in her hand. "Looking all smug." And she threw again, aiming for their smiling faces, finally taking down another, but feeling like she was doing something wrong. "Not so smug anymore, are you? Hrmph."
