The Archery Contest - Day 3 - DONE!

While the winner was announced, and the rest of the archers were going about their business, and the crowd was cheering the winner or grumbling as they paid off the bets they had made on others, Raoul turned to the next lane. His long legs covered the distance to The Sparrow in only a few steps, and he put on a wide smile for the benefit of any onlookers while lowering his voice enough that they were unlikely to hear.

“Where did you get that flask? That belongs to me.”

The Sparrow clapped along with everyone else as Kaine Aislinn's win was announced, her bow strapped cross-wise over her body so its string stretched between her breasts. Her long golden ponytail rested over her shoulder, and she seemed to not even notice Raoul Ferdinand.

Of course, then he was speaking to her and she had to turn slightly, the point of her bow almost striking him in the head and her ponytail cascading over her shoulder to caress against her tattooed shoulderblades. A brow perched on her face. "Is it?" She asked and glanced down at the fancy flask at her hip. "But I don't see your name on it," the Sparrow told the King of Prospernalia, a little smirk on her lips as she...

... turned from him and made to walk away.

She turned back to him when he touched her shoulder, looking back at the handsome King of Prospernalia who -- for once -- wasn't surrounded by blushing women, full of smiles and batting lashes. Indeed, like this, he even seemed a little annoyed. Over a flask? the Sparrow questioned.

"Oooorrrr yoooou'll.... what?" She asked him, and a quicksilver smile went across her lips, a bit cocky maybe as she continued to walk backwards from him and toward the crowds that were heading out toward the commons.

"I'll have it back." As the space between them opened, Raoul gave a cheery wave in her direction. Again, he wasn't about to make an ugly scene with The Sparrow in the middle of the festival, no matter how satisfying it would be to shout some ungentlemanly words after her and chuck a clod of mud into her smirking bitch face.

Instead, he shouted a very pleasant, "I will see you about the fair, señorita. And after, I think!"

She dropped a hand to the flask at her hip, in such a good mood to see the forced cheeriness on Raoul Ferdinand's face. She was still walking back toward the commons as he shouted at her, all too aware that he wouldn't do a damn thing while all the people were around.

"I look forward to it," she said as her hand worked to undo the top of the flask and she toasted him. "Reeeally look forward to it. Cheers!"

And she disappeared into the crowd before he could see if she'd taken a swig of his precious brandy or not.

A second contest, a second defeat. And this one at something she was actually good at. Eilagwen shook her head a bit, and... found herself very, very subtly smiling when she lost to Kaine Aislinn. Again.

She didn't stay for the celebration, however, and instead moved back and away. She didn't enjoy being crowded with people, and decided to try her luck at the games instead. A solitary figure, she did not mind being alone.

When Kaine won he couldn't help but laugh. It was a hearty laugh that seemed to come from the bottom of his soul. The cheering of the crowd and the realization he had won flooded into him once he stopped focusing on the target. He had never once in his life attended such a grand festival as this one, with so much to do and so many people, and him being the center of the praise of so many brought a joy that was quite unlike anything he had felt before.

Then, after giving a gracious bow to the other competitors, Kaine made his way up to the host of the event to receive his prize. The cheering of the crowd and curses of the ones who lost their bets all were drowned out as he was taken in by the nymph. It was as if he had lost all sensation except that off the nymphs body and her lips and a powerful feeling of joy swept through him, leaving him numb after she released him. Kaine shook his head thoroughly as if he had just woken up , then kneeling before the duchess he said "Thank you for this chance to compete, I would like to dedicate this win to you my lady, the most gracious of hosts" as Kaine tried to sound dignified whilst delivering the speech anyone looking on could tell he could barely contain himself from smiling and bursting into laughter as the kiss from earlier still pervaded his thoughts, all in all his attempt was more humorous than anything.

After accepting his gift while a crowd mobbed him with congratulations and showered him with compliments Kaine managed to escape that crowd and head back to the other competitors prize in hand, once there he would address them all "You all did amazing out there and I think it wouldn't be right if you went home empty handed" then Kaine would proceed to pull out the 12 bottle case of the Randi wine and offered a bottle of it to each of the competitors, @eilagwen , Raoul Ferdinand , The Sparrow , Centurion Analiese Hael , @banditkelly , and Empress Naoki

She almost disappeared into the crowd after taunting Raoul Ferdinand -- then glanced over and saw that Kaine Aislinn was offering to share the 12 bottles of Rondi wine with everyone.

The bottle alone was worth a decent turn-around, and the wine inside was ALSO probably worth another profit. Farrah smiled at Kaine as she made her way over, a confident rock to her hips. "Don't mind if I do," she told him and took up a bottle. She looked at the gold leaf work on the outside. "Nice," the Sparrow complimented.

Then she turned to make her way off the archer's field and for the commons.

As Kaine Aislinn approaches with the case of wise, Lady Naoki pulls one hand out from behind her back to raise it toward him, displaying her palm and shaking her head. She will not accept the wine.

“I possess the means to procure Rhondi Wine easily; had I won, I would have also shared the reward. You enjoy your wine, or share it with someone you know, I have plenty.”
