Caledon Roth The Leaky Cauldron | Mercer & Mitsuki ^_^ Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll SPOILER!!: Mercer & Mitsuki Quote:

"Yeah... listen, I'm super fast and have all sorts of bob-and-weave skills, so if you just wanna chuck all the balloons at me at once while I run very very fast in your direction, I bet I can block them all. And if I get even a little bit wet, then I'll... buy you both dinner at our next Hogsmeade weekend." Because offering to buy people dinner when it was free every night in the castle was the lamest bet ever.
Mercer hoisted his shield and waved it at the girls. "Okay, I'm ready!" Quote:

The zen she had been feeling was disturbed, a large rock dropped into the lake that left ripple upon ripple of discomfort. It was difficult to describe the discomfort, and nothing showed on her features besides a rather blank stare directly at Mercer, but she was not all that fond of him buying dinner for her and Desiree.
Rolling her now tense shoulders, she knelt down and picked up a couple more balloons to cradle in her other arm to throw. She offered a quick glance towards the Hufflepuff before her head snapped back forward at Mercer, eyes narrowed and focused, and lobbed her first balloon at him. There was not much force to the first lob, but before Mercer had a chance to try and block that balloon she was already throwing her second...and third...and fourth with an impressive amount of speed for someone with such petite stature.
Performance calligraphy had done its fair share in strengthening her arms and shoulders, a benefit that was most certainly being utilized now.
Yes, Desiree knew what drying charms were for! Daughter of a former charms professor, remember?! She may be girly, but she wasn’t oblivious! She also knew that drying charms wouldn’t re-volumize her hair after it got wet or put it back into the style she had it. Staying dry was her best option, and to do that, she’d have to observe and outsmart her opponents teammates.
Mercer’s words were acknowledged with a mildly intrigued look. Wow, brag much? Somehow she suspected his speed and bob-and-weave skills were exaggerated, but she’d keep an eye out just in case they were not. If that were the case, she might have to re-evaluate her strategy when her turn with the dragon scale eventually came.The wager got a confused blink. She wouldn’t say no to a friendly dinner… as long as it wouldn’t make her a third wheel. Was Mitsuki okay with this?
PIcking up her own water balloons, Desiree shot the other girl a look. Wow, Mitsuki threw a lot faster than she thought! She’d have to keep that in mind when she was on the receiving end of the balloons! She quickly caught on to the plan to hit Mercer with everything they had before he had a chance to react and threw her balloons in rapid succession, aiming in a slightly different direction in case Mitsuki’s throws missed. Her blue eyes darted toward Mercer. Would his speed and skills live up to the hype?
