Yvan is tended to a big blushing mess thanks to Kasha and Vastra’s teasing (and a little bit from Alys as well). The giant buries his face into his hands until the playing around stops and he calms down a bit, but for now, he peeks through the spaces of his fingers to view the tussle.

Kasha climbs up on Yvan and gives him a big hug like a spider monkey crawling on his back. She climbs on his shoulders. It's hard to control her laughter, but then again, it was difficult to control it seeing as he was outside of his comfort zone right now. She did notice he was mortified, and made an attempt to distract him by poking him and pointing. "Look!! Yvan, look!! Someone's gonna get a serious beat down! Check it out! Who do you think's gonna win??" Kasha quickly leans over to Alys and mouths the word "Janira" and flexes her bicep gritting her teeth in a menacing manner in imitation of her.

Vastra felt a little bit bad when she noticed how Yvan was getting embarrassed, but she saw Kasha climbing on him and knew that she would make him feel better. It was hard to remain unhappy with Kasha around.

Barnabas: You sweep around Janira, attempting to wrap your arms around her for a suplex. 

Athletics: 25

She very easily pushes your arms away before they can wrap around her, stopping you from establishing a grapple. While you're still staggering back from your failed attempt, she catches you with her own grapple. You're up!

It were times like these that made Yvan truly appreciate his friendship with Kasha. For the first time in a while, a chuckle rumbled from the back of his throat, his hands moving from his face to hold onto her legs so she didn’t fall off his broad shoulders. “I hope the view is better up there... As for who will win?” He winces when he sees the half-orc grapple Barney like nothing. “... I’m not sure...”

Furlong will think to himself with intent, hoping his psychic connection to Bixby is still active. "Remember, Barnabus. Stillness of mind and focus. Clarity will guide you better than passion, and use her momentum against her."

Kasha was very comfortable with Yvan. He was a literal mountain of man, and she understood him. "Oh yeah, you're like a tall tree! The view is gre-- OOoh! Did you see that grab?! Yikes. I think I heard his arm break!! I think." She excitedly danced on his shoulders as she watched the wrestling match. 

Despite the initial setback, Barnabus dares to laugh as he feigned trying to fight out of the grapple. "Oh what shall I do now that I'm being embraced by a goddess!?" He exclaims aloud amidst chuckles. Though Furlong hear's 'Easier said than done, Cap'n. Not sure if you captain, but I'm only one of those things, 'nd right now, it's all 'Oooh~ Muscles!' at the moment! But I'll try!' The halfhearted joke aside, Barnabus does try to use a moment of seeming to surrender and her shifting for the pin to try and slip out the grasp.

 “Not gunna lie, that looks super fun!” Alys couldn’t help but giggle along as well with Yvan and Kasha.

While watching the wrestling match she’d ponder out loud, “So we have battle of brawn... but is there a battle of the ‘brain’? Magic?”

Alys: "Not really." Vastra replies. 

Barnabas: Janira chuckles as you make your quip. "You shouldn't talk so much during a match. You'll sound like Vanity." 

Athletics: 20

Janira is able to maintain the grapple and pins you up against one of the stakes.

Stella grins at Rinn. "In your professional opinion, does he have a snowball's chance?"

“Pffft. Well that’s boring.” Alys would be kind of disappointed there’re not really any duals for the latter.

Though it pained him to even try, Barnabus works up a chuckle of his own as he fought to get out of the pin. "Ooh. That stung. Tho' unlike him. Winning is plus. For me. The experience itself. Talking to ya. All that matters to me." His expression turns serious for the first time towards the end of that final note. Yet, despite clearly being outmatched, out of perhaps respect, Barnabus tries again to slip out the grapple. 

Acrobatics: 13.

Janira has no idea what you said at the end, but she doesn't respond, as she's purely focused on finishing the match.

Athletics: 18

This roll was a 17, just in case Beyond says I pulled some ****ery.

Janira is able to maintain her pin and she twists your wrist at an unnatural angle. You try to grit through it, but you're pretty sure that if this keeps up, something very bad will happen to your wrist. You use your free hand to tap out, ending the match. Janira lets go of your wrist. "Good fight. You're spirited kid, I like that." She waves to the crowd as they cheer for her. Once it begins to subside, she heads over to the edge of the ring, where Kasha and Yvan are there. She extends a hand to Kasha, then Yvan. "Hey, name's Janira, nice to meet you."

"Hello!!!" Kasha squeaks loudly, as if in the presence of a large celebrity shaking Janira's hand. "I'm Kasha! Very nice to meet you!" she puts her hands on her hips and cocks her head, "Damn, girl you are GOOD." she then points downward to Yvan's head. "This is Yvan. With a Y. As in, Y are your arms so amazing?!" She snorts, then pats Yvan on the cheek loudly. "Say Hi Yvan!" 

Alys would smile and bow her head in greeting as Janira approaches the two beside her before she'd skip off to Barnaby. She'd extend a hand to help him up, still holding his things with her other arm. "I have your things when you're ready for them B."

Yvan stands there awkwardly as Janira approaches, taken aback at how she wasn’t reveling in yet another win, and he hesitates before taking her hand for a handshake. The Goliath wasn’t one for much conversation so he was glad that Kasha was around to keep talk going, but like a little sister, she always managed to find a way to get him embarrassed. “Uh... Hi, Janira. I’m sorry about her, she’s very... excitable.”

Janira chuckles at Kasha's antics. "Don't worry about it. It's actually kinda cute, how she's so energetic like that. As for the arms, nothing special, just a lot of working out. Maybe some Orcish genes too." She flexes a bit, showing off the arms. "So, you two big fans of wrestling?"

Kasha gasps loudly, then quickly leans down into Yvan's ears. "Ermagerd look at her erms!" she whispers very loudly. The quickly straightens up and continues talking to Janira. "I like watching it! You did great up there. I've wrestled animals when I was younger, but it was for fun. Animals are my friends!" She waves her hand in a dramatic fashion, and sparkly letters appear like a rainbow that say "ANIMALS YAY!" Kasha was lean and flexible but she not hugely muscular like Yvan - her low bodyfat did show a sexy athletic physique however that indicated she spent a lot of time walking and being outside and moving. "We should armwrestle one day - i'll let you win!!" she flexed her arms in a great double bicep pose and made a quick threatening face and while not as impressive as Janira's, she broke down and laughed anyway. "It was very nice meeting you!"

Janira sits down for a second, clearly interested in Kasha's comment. "You wrestled animals as a kid? Damn, you must've had an interesting childhood. Probably could've been a wrestler if you moved on to wrestling people." Yvan, she seems more interested in Kasha at the moment than you. As Kasha works her magic that makes the words "ANIMALS YAY!" appear in sparkly rainbow letters, some of the remaining crowd turns towards her with oohs and aahs.

The Goliath shook his head at the question, and is 1000% okay with the half orc being more interested in the druid. He says nothing and is complacent in being Kasha’s seat until she decided to climb down. For now he just listens to the ladies conversation.
