He saw the determination in her face and pushed harder because he wasn't going to let her beat him. He looked to her and said, "Is that the best you've got?" He gave a few more kicks back and forth and just as he was as high as he thought he could get, he timed it just when he thought he could get the most height and distance and tried to push away from the swing. He had done pretty well except he'd forgotten about the leather braided bracelet on his left wrist that somehow got caught in the chain. His momentum was enough to carry him free of the chain, but he broke the bracelet and looked back, hindering his speed and height. It also broke his concentration and while looking back he didn't notice the ground was coming up quickly and he landed awkwardly sideways and tumbled in a heap over by a tree, just missing it. It did however cause all the air to rush from his lungs and he lay there gasping, sure he'd broken a rib.

Ella smiled and felt like pointing at the small blush that had now formed on Ian's face. See? She wasn't the only one who blushed! That made her feel much better about the whole situation. Thankfully for him, she didn't point, knowing it probably would have made him feel weird or something. She wouldn't want that.

The second year looked at Ian, eyebrows raised, as he asked her if that was the best she could do? She giggled before putting on her best poker face. "We'll just have to see, won't we?" And she began to pump harder, making her swing soar to new heights. She was just about to call out to her friend about how much higher she was planning on going when she caught sight of him jumping from his swing.

O__O

It was like she was watching it in slow motion, a horrified look on her face. Ella didn't quite understand why her friend suddenly looked back, mid-air, causing him to land rather frighteningly on the ground. EEP! And he had almost hit the tree! The small blonde gasped, before letting go of her own chains and flying through the air. She landed on her feet, breath caught in her throat , a nervous look on her face. ~~And she had landed much further away from the spot Ian had landed...Mhm.~~ She was up in another second, running towards her friend.

When she got to him, she winced as he looked like he was in a great deal of pain. "Oh Merlin! I've killed you. We should've never played this game..." She said with a groan. "A-are you okay, Ian?"
