Trinket tilted her head to the side, studying the seeker. This game was very fun, as far as Trinket was concerned. Everyone was running around. People were shouting and crying. The night was active and full of life.
Before, it had been boring. People standing around, looking at the stars.
She had made things much more interesting.
Meanwhile, the man saw Sohalia's outstretched hand. He reached for her, grabbing her hand just as the rope gave out. He fell towards Sohalia, dangling from her hand as he held onto her with a death grip. He screamed, reaching up his other hand to grab hold of Sohalia's wrist. He was secure for now, but his weight was much greater than Sohalia's own, and Trinket was sure the woman wouldn't be able to hold onto the dangling man for long.
Trinket stepped closer, looking over the railing at the man. Then she glanced at Sohalia and whispered in her ear, "What does it mean? It means you almost won the game. If he dies, you lose. If he lives, you win. Isn't that fun? You hold his life in your hands."
Quite literally, in fact, as the man's only grip on life was holding onto Sohalia's hand. He yelled and begged her to pull him up.
