Ring Toss: Felicity & Galad
Felicity's own costume fit her perfectly. It should considering she had it tailored. She appeared as a ring master. Instead of going the obvious 'feminine' route of wearing a skirt, she kept it with shorts instead. Her hair had grown a bit and so the blond longs now floated past her shoulders instead of cut bluntly just above them. She would get her hair cut soon, but she was grateful she could wear a costume like this at all. She half-expected to wake up one day to discover a large protrusion from her belly where the baby was. So far she knew it was there from visits to the doctor. Galad would often sneak into her room to rest his head against her womb to listen for the baby's heart.
No bump yet. She had gained a little weight but her body seemed to distribute it fairly evenly. She didn't look thicker anywhere in particular, save for the size of her breast but even then it wasn't by much. If anything, Felicity looked healthy and as put together as she normally did, only know it was in a red-sequinned ringmaster's jacket and knee-high leather boots.
The dance didn't feel as much of a dance as it was an evening's diversion. Galad had been excited to play the games of skill and chance and went off to investigate. Felicity was talking with some other students when galady more or less whisked her away to the booth that was growing in notoriety. He didn't need to whisper in her ear the way he did, but she knew he did it because it made her stomach flutter. She observed the prizes, pretty much all stuffed toys varying in size, shape, and color. Felicity pointed to one.
"The blue bear," she said, "It's almost the same color as you." She'd just finished speaking when the student shouted his accusation. Felicity watched as the student tried the last ring and once more failed to suceed.
"How are you going to work around the spell?" she asked in a soft voice to Galad. Even a blind man could see that the witch had use some sort of spell to make victory impossible. If not impossible, very, very unlikely.
