Colt's praise had the seer blushing, pleased by her own abilities as much as by the rancher's kindness. It felt good to actually succeed - even if things went poorly from here on out, she could at least say that she'd managed to hit the stump once. And hopefully she could do it again. It wasn't very useful to be able to do something just because she got lucky. It needed to be repeatable before it meant anything.
So she prepared for the next attack. When it came, she was more prepared than she had been in attempts past, and she sidestepped quickly to avoid Colt's tackle. The woman's hands closed on empty air, although the added pressure meant that Alys's shot went wide. She didn't quite hit the stump this time, but at least she managed to avoid landing on her ass in the dirt.
Pleased by this, and beginning to work up a sweat, Alys smiled at Colt. "This was really helpful," she said. "I think I learned a lot just from what we worked on."

Alys dodges the tackle but misses the stump!
