A Taste of Home

In the end, Ashlynn won the loop tossing game by a single toss. Nyrielle's ability to match Ashlynn toss for toss broke the younger woman's rhythm enough that she missed her fourth throw by a laughable margin. Even with her enhanced physical abilities as Nyrielle's Seneschal, there were limits to the level of perfection she could achieve. 

After that, it would have ended in a tie if Nyrielle hadn't failed on her last throw, trying for a winning toss on a red peg and narrowly missing it. Ashlynn, however, wasn't entirely convinced of Nyrielle's failure. 

As the barker gathered their prizes, Ashlynn studied Nyrielle's face. That last throw had been suspiciously wide for someone who had matched her shot-for-shot until then, but perhaps even Nyrielle was capable of feeling a little bit of pressure and making minor mistakes.
