RANCE
Freina might have knocked him out of the air if luck had been on her side, but Rance's tumble was controlled and he sped through the air to victory. One he hadn't expected to be satisfying, especially not when partnered with another, but he couldn't even resent Aisha's bossiness when it resulted in such good results for their exercise. He circled above the prancing leopard a couple of times before dropping down to the ground, releasing the flag in midair so that he could catch it in a human hand.
The offer of an actual prize -- a weapon at that -- was even more unexpected. Aisha responded first, which gave him a moment to think. He'd never been much interested on weapons, but that had been in a land where it had been safe to assume he'd never need them. The Hollowed Grounds, at least, weren't as friendly.
"A bow. I've at least handled that." Albeit, only a couple of times. "Can't accidentally fuckin' gut myself with that. I leave the details to your expertise." He'd also keep the red flag, as a reminder of the lessons he still wanted to learn. If he intended to survive and be more than just a bystander, this would have to be a beginning, not a one-off.

It's beginning to look a lot like
