 I'm up for some healthy competition.

Cleaner too.

[Steve watches Isidor with a small smile on his face. She moves with the confidence of having done this before. It seems easy enough and he's fairly confident when he gets up from where he's seated to fetch his own ball.

But oh, the tease makes him laugh and duck his head.]


Oh come on. If I can't be just Steve here...

[He mimics Isidor's stance when he takes his turn and sends the ball hurtling down the lane only to have it knock down just the far left two pins without so much as touching the others. Oh.

Well. That's fine, he'll just try it again--and get two more without even brushing the right side of the stack.]


Hmm. I may have to rethink this being simple.

[Brute strength isn't going to help here.]
juststeverogers: (Shhh)

[He sees that grin, Isidor. Still, Steve's all smiles himself as he takes a seat again.]

A woman of honor. You could have just challenged me to something you excelled at, like magic and watched me fumble with a pre-prepared scroll for a good hour.

[He offers a thoughtful frown at the split and the roll that follows. Gaze slipping across the lanes to study the forms of other players here who aren't sharing the same easy smiles he and Isidor are.]

I think the key is to put spin on it. Maybe?

[His first attempt at that ends in a gutter ball. Ouch. The second, however nets him six pins.]

I've heard there's satisfaction in watching someone you don't like struggle uselessly.

[He has to chuckle, even if he agrees with Isidor in principle. He's getting this figured out, managing a spare between his two rolls and smiling a bit wider when he turns back her way.]

Death's about the only thing I cheat on the regular.
