Ariadne didn't really peacock either, but this was a close second. She stepped up to the line in front of the targets and dropped the stone into the leather cup. Gathering the thongs in her hand, she lifted her arm and started to twirl the sling. Her movements were quick and precise. No losing the stone, no wobbling.

As soon as she felt she had enough speed, she threw her arm forward. The stone sprang out of the cup and went hurtling across the space between. It hit one of the targets.

While Ariadne wasn't strong, she was precise.

The single hit knocked over the whole target.

She turned back to Jim with a shy smile. "Dazzled?"
