The safety in tactics shows.
(Or Kaya would aim for the nose)
The respect for this guy grows
as he shows he can take her blows.
One point each on first run.
(on a beach, under the summer sun)
The challenge has only begun.
It’s not easy to just have fun.
Near needs to learn their ways.
(to know what everyone says)
How enthusiastically everyone plays
when they’re wasting their summer days.
So, first of all, thanks for explaining the points system of proper jousting. Haven’t had the chance to partake in any fiction that goes into that much detail.
Second of all, I love that – despite the fact that a grunt of pain or a yelp of surprise LOGICALLY shouldn’t change that much based on the speaker’s native language – Kaya and Al’s speech bubbles are still color-coded to show off each speaker’s primary language, because in a strenuous situation like that you WOULD default to your primary language regardless of the people around you.
Rincewind would disagree. 😛
A momentary tie, bur things should swing in favor of one or the other soon.
Shoulder hit. Probably enough to knock your opponent well off balance. Let’s see how the second charge will go.
Hey, where’d that blackboard come from?! And where did Annabella get the lab coat and glasses?! How many rounds does this Jousting match have? And how many points do you need to win?
Both knights managed to land blows without falling off their steeds, it seems Allessandro has a better chance after all. Perhaps he won’t end up thrown into the water this time… It’s a good thing these kids are safety conscious, otherwise their parents would come down on them faster than Jupiter’s lightning. I wonder how Kaya and Kai’s resilience will play into this game, their bodies are quite a bit tougher than most people’s…
I CANT STAND THE SUSPENSE ARRRRGGGHHH
