Kyaha~ All right, I'll do one round on my own, then we do a match.

[Starting a new game then.

Because enstars has bullshit skill progression though, he's gonna be pretty amazing at hitting those hoops. Not always-- some balls bounce off and he curses for those, but he doesn't stop until no more balls are rolling down for him to pick up.

He grins at her when it's done, taking the tickets and pocketing it for later.]

Whaddya think? Doable?

[ Crossing her arms comfortably over her chest, Nami hangs back and watches Rinne play, sizing up the way he moves to shoot the ball and the fact that more times than not, his efforts very clearly pay off. It's not the kind of skill game she's going to be instantly flawless at, and Nami's already prepared to lose, but, she'll give it a shot. ]

Doable. [ As comfortable as she is with not winning this round, she's still got her game face on, even though after she gives him an almost serious-looking nod, Nami follows it up with a small, but sincere grin.

She's not going to let herself dwell on the thought that she doesn't mind looking like an idiot in front of Rinne, which is good, because once it's her turn, she misses every shot but one. ]

I guess you have this and I'll have skee-ball.

[riskybeenus]

That last shot was good though. Ya managed to find a position that works for ya.

[He says cheerfully, focusing on praise rather than teasing in this case. She wasn't gonna get it immediately, but even one can be hard if you're not used to it and that's how he sees it.

He'll take his new stack of tickets, pocketing it for now.]

One all then. Ya want a tiebreaker? Coz I got a game ya might like~ Even if it's got no tickets.

[ The unexpected praise leaves her grinning, a surprised laugh escaping her before she reaches out to take his arm, waiting to settle against his side until after he pockets his tickets. ]

Come on then. Let's see what you have in mind.

[riskybeenus]

[He shuffles behind her, reaching up to cover her eyes with both hands, grinning.]

It's a secret~ Just follow my lead.

[It's not a big secret, not when it's so close but-- it's air hockey. He is leading her to the air hockey table.]

[cartographie]

[ Naturally, she has never seen an air hockey table before, but some things – two goals at opposite ends of an arcade-sized pitch – are a common set up for any game, regardless of universe. Nami figures it out quickly enough to laugh after Rinne lifts his hands from her eyes to reveal the surprise final round. ]

We defend our goals, right?

[ Nami's hand covers the pusher, experimentally guiding it around the table close to her goal after she takes her side. ]

You're going down, Amagi.

[riskybeenus]

Kyaha~ So ya already know the game. That makes it easy.

[Going down, is he?]

I like yer fightin' spirit. Ya better back it up, coz I ain't goin' easy.

[And he won't. The question is, who will win through sheer determination and not due to flying puck?]
