“You ready?” Kory asked, placing her right elbow on the table and hand up.
Sighing but mirroring the action Dick muttered. “We need a new way to settle things.”
“You ruled out coin toss and other more sensible options. So we're stuck deciding things by this.” Kory pointed out.
“.....Fine. ”
They grabbed hands and locked eyes with each other. It would probably be funnier, if not for what was at stake.
“Alright on the count of three we'll start. One..two....three!”
Putting their strength into it the joined hands stayed in center for a while, wavering slightly. It seemed to be a pretty dead even match.”
“Give up yet?” Kory asked.”
“Not even close.”
It continued for several minutes before it began to rock further back and forth. Every time one thought they got ahead the other would push back even harder, and it would even out. However after a bit longer Kory managed to reach down and find strength from somewhere and finally managed to slam Dick's hand onto the table.”
“Yes!” She grinned absolutely satisfied and feeling the high of her win
“No,” He groaned, leaning his head back on the top of his chair. Maybe they should have gone with sparring.
“Just remember she did technically pass the written exam.”
Dick shot her a very flat stare. “She got an 80. You need exactly an 80 to pass.”
“Ergo still passing as I said.”
Resisting the urge to throw a hand towel at her as that was childish Dick just replied. “Guess we'll be taking the minivan out this weekend to practice.”
Kory turned still pleased at her win. “Just remember the van has airbags and any new dings acquired will give it more character.”
He rolled his eyes. Sure that was the silver lining.
