Viora snorted, her green hair swaying, her hazel eyes glinting.

Myra grumbled but adjusted her posture, her bead glowing briefly before popping, drawing a curse and a laugh.
Nellie's cautious optimism shone, her beads hitting closer to the target each time, her thick thighs steady under her skirt.
