"Psh! I won't need to cheat." Isidor smirks playfully as she takes her ammunition and steps past Harrowheart to assume her place as coconut shy champion.
Isidor takes her time eyeing up the coconuts in front of her and considering her technique. It's all carefully considered before she takes her first throw... which is a complete dud. The twitch of her eye shows just how infuriating it is for her to watch the ball sail neatly over the coconut she was aiming for. Taking a deep breath, she aims and throws again. This time it gently grazes her target before sailing on by like the first. Her temper flares and she takes less time in aiming her last shot. She throws, and the ball bounces neatly off of the coconut. The stand wobbles and Isidor freezes, watching tensely... and then it goes still again. Her eyebrows come together and she exhales a low, slow breath.
Viatorus pats her ever so gently on the back. "It was very close..."
Her hand dives into her pocket for more money. "One more go and I can get it..."
"We could just... buy a coconut from the store later?" Viatorus suggests.
She scowls and starts pulling out notes. "That's not the point!"
Runa swoops in to save the day, bouncing around excitedly to distract the irritated patron. "There's a whack-a-mole over there! Oh! Oh! And the strongman game!" She throws Harrowheart a look to subtly ask for his help in redirecting Isidor's fervor.
