Rukeewei initially seemed as surprised as Ariel, though it was the pleasant sort of surprise. Once he recognized who she was, he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, glancing back to the market stalls. "Oh, yes, good to see you. I was just thinking, trying to figure something out. You see, Neercana-Rei's hatching day is coming up soon enough and I was trying to think of a gift for her. I forgot it last time and...I don't want to do that again. She is not an easy person to find a gift for. She has all the finest clothes, all the best jewelry. She has everything I can think of that she would need for her other hobbies. I cannot seem to think of anything."

Ahnasha put her arm around Fendros as well and smiled. Based on everything he listed, it seemed like they would have plenty to do. Not that she actually knew what she wanted to do first. She walked alongside Fendros, looking around the square as she did. "Alright, we just need to figure out what to do first. I cant really say I know how to dance, but-" Ahnasha began, but she cut herself off when she saw someone pointing at her out of the corner of her eye. When she turned her head to focus on the stranger, she saw that he was a Bosmer male with his own booth in the festival. 

"Ah, yes, you there, Khajiit! You will make a fine competitor in this challenge. Perhaps you can alleviate the crowd's fears of challenging me. My challenge is tough, but fair, and oh so very rewarding." The Bosmer said, directing his last statement more towards the crowd than her. Ahnasha looked at Fendros and shrugged, not really sure she wanted to get involved in some game. The Bosmer, however, did not give her time to respond before approaching her, drawing the crowd's attention to both of them. "It is said that the Khajiit are skilled archers. Not as skilled as we Bosmer, of course, but still, a worthy competitor. And do win a prize challenging me, you need not even beat me. Tell me, my lady, have you ever used a bow before?" 

Ahnasha crossed her arms. By this point, she was annoyed. She was not particularly fond of this Bosmer, and mostly, she just wanted to be rid of him. "I might have...once or twice." Ahnasha answered. Really, she just wanted to walk away.

"Ah, some experience then. My challenge has something for all skill levels. Depending on how you perform, you could win prizes from one of the two tables behind me. Or, if you manage to beat me, you win the very valuable gold necklace in the locked display case. Normally, the cost is ten gold to compete, but for you, my lady, I will allow you one round to compete completely for free."

Ahnasha looked at the tables, both of which were covered in trinkets. Knowing how these games usually worked, they were probably worthless, though the necklace looked real enough. He had an archery range set up in the corner of the square, with the targets against the wall of one of the buildings and a few distance markers on the ground in front of them. No matter what kind of challenge it was, Ahnasha was confident she could win, but from first impressions, she did not like the Bosmer, and did not want to give him business. The only reason he was letting her try for free was to get some of the crowd to give it a shot as well. 

Before Ahnasha could answer, the Bosmer spoke up once more. "From the shape of your stomach, I see you are an expecting mother. You have my congratulations, and of course, give my congratulations to the father as well." He said, not even considering in his mind the possibility that the father was Fendros next to her. "I understand, though, that being with child can weaken a woman's body. If you do not have the strength to compete at the moment, I understand." 

Now, Ahnasha was actually angry. She didn't care if it gave him business, she just wanted to embarrass the smug Bosmer. She glanced to Fendros, then back to him. "Oh no, I'll take that challenge." She answered. He really did not know what he was getting into.
