By now Arya had lost count of how many time she had to recast her shield after it was repeatedly shattered by the ping pong balls. So far she had managed to hold the shield for a good thirty seconds but no more and sometimes less.

She was working on forty when Lawson. A smile threatened to cross her face at his comment as her shield began to weaken. It was hard enough to concentrate what with it raining ping pong balls, his talking was just adding to the distraction. Taking in a deep breath she turned her attention of a ping pong ball that was rolling on the floor trying to stay focused.

Because she was no longer facing Sir Lawson, she didn't see him draw out his wand and send a charm her way. It was a shame too really cause she had just reached forty seconds and was slowly making her way to fifty when it shattered her shield.

Droping her wand she fell to the floor laughing hysterically. She wraped her arms around her torso, twitching this way and that in a vain atempt to stop the invisible fingers that seemed to be tickling ever inch of her.

"Hahahahah..cchhe...hehehe.....cheateeerrrrr, hahahaha!!"

It was all she could get out before going back into a giggling fit. The invisible fingers were persestant little buggers, digging into her sides, poking her ribs and even running along her neck.

Her eyes shut tight she could feel them begin to water as she rolled on the floor giggling, another poor atempt to stop the tickling. As she rolled she sent any ping pong balls in her path rolling as well. Her rolling stoped when she ended up at Lawson's feet, though she didn't realize it for her eyes were still closed.

"Hehehehehe...make...hehehe..it......hahahahahaha. ..stop!"

Shear torture this was, yup.
