Tyrael was surprised to hear Lyn's "Voice". However when she revealed her present Tyrael was quickly able to piece together the details before he got ahead of himself. The rune looked to be of master work quality: Obviously Val made it. However if he remembered correctly, Tyrael was also certain Leith had handed this object to her, or at least something similar. Tyrael honestly felt conflicted: his first instinct was to suspect treachery on Leith's part, figuring he was trying to get close to Lyn for some evil ulterior motive. But then, remembering Uicle's words, Tyrael attempted to rein in his thoughts. Leith may look the part of a vampire and had a strange willingness to become Fallen, but he has done nothing so far to show he is unworthy of Tyrael's trust. He was, at worse, a fool he had no idea what powers he was dealing with. But he was a kind fool at least. Tyrael supposed he couldn't condemn Leith for that. [b]"That is amazing Lyn! I am sure you have a lot to say, yes? You always seem to want to speak up whenever I am around."[/b]

Soon the titanic demon made his way over to one of the game stalls. The owner of the shop was initially intimidated by Tyrael; despite his attempts to lack any form of fame outside of the college, everyone was wise enough to recognize the face of a College Instructor, certainly the one who teaches Demonomancy. However aside from the surprise of seeing Tyrael with Lyn on his shoulders, the owner of the game offered Tyrael and Lyn a chance to play. The goal was fairly simple: Each would get three small rubber balls and they have to get them into cups. However, there were one rule that made the game significantly more difficult: in order to gain the prize, not only does the ball have to fall into a cup, but you cannot knock the cup over when it lands inside. This task was made even more difficult, as Tyrael could see that the cups where made of a cheap, thin wood. While he certainly had the skills to toss a ball inside the cups, he would have to be careful if he didn't want to knock them over. Additionally, the fact that the balls were made of rubber made them particularly bouncy, increasing the likelihood that they would knock the cup over or even bounce out of the cup.

[b]"What are the prizes?"[/b] The owner of the stall mentioned that there is a consolation prize of caramel candy (For children at least), but there was also additional prizes such as various silk dolls, small baggies filled with treats, and cheap magical items that glow. Frankly, things that Tyrael could probably make himself at a better quality. But for Lyn's sake, he'd play these games. [b]"Challenge accepted. Here."[/b] Tyrael opened a portal into the Inferno, reaching in and taking out a locked metal box. Fiddling with it, he opened it and put two silver coins down in front of the stall owner, who then gave both Tyrael and Lyn three rubber balls each.

[b]"Curses..."[/b] Tyrael, unfortunately, could not succeed. His first try he was too hard, easily knocking over a cup. The second try he attempted to arc the ball, which did land inside, but as he feared it also gave the ball enough momentum to bounce out of the cup and ultimately lead to failure. And his final try he figured he could bounce the ball against the table itself and try to get it to fall into a cup after it lost it's momentum, however while the idea might have worked he also missed. Perhaps out of pity or fear, Tyrael was at least given a single piece of milk caramel. Slightly frustrated Tyrael looked to see how Lyn was doing.
