Be on Your Gourd [Seasonal Event]

ALISTAIR "It's no secret really." Alistair replied as he bent down to grab another pumpkin, walking over to place it in Melita 's hand. Had she allowed he would take her wrist gently and place the pumpkin in her palm. "If I may?" Alistair asked, gesturing to go behind her to help give the proper instruction. Had she agreed, he would step behind her, a hand around her waist as the other wound her arm back. He would position her fingers to run across the lines of the pumpkin. "It's all a matter of positioning yea? You want to keep your fingers like this..." His strong, calussed hand placed over hers as he positioned her fingers and kept them over to maintain her grip. "Going to use the ridges of the pumpkin to build the speed, use your middle and index finger to guide the aim." His voice was easy, a gentle smokey rasp as he continued. The hand on he waist gently guiding it to lean to the side. "Treat your hips like a rubber band, ever fire a sling shot? Same concept. Your legs are the bracers, your hips the band. Your arm the stone. You're going to wind back, plant your feet...keep your toes pointed out directly in front to help guide you...and you sling out your wrist, releasing right around here." Again, had she allowed he would mimic the throwing motion, though not releasing the pumpkin. Just using the motion as an example of how Melita would be improving her aim. "Got it? Want to try it together, than if you improve try on your own?" He asked innocently enough, turning his head slightly to see her off the corner of his eye.
