She often found herself comparing her abilities to her incredible family, desperately proud of their achievements but too shy to speak of her own. All of this was to say that she likely too would’ve looked like Bambi on ice should she don a pair of skates and that she understood Regina’s reluctance over praising herself.

“I’ll be sure to search them out later then” she smiled fondly. The Broadmoor and Amstern familial bonds were unbreakable, her mother had no siblings so Vashti had filled in the Aunt role so wonderfully when they were growing up. Even the twins were fond of the family, so much so that Kimmie was able to wind them up without consequences. “I bet she’s in her element with the historical tie in.” Ruby had regrettably dropped History of Magic in favour of the subjects she’d need for her career pathway but that hadn’t dampened her interest.

She too hoped that her skills would not be required but she was there to offer them nevertheless. “I am only slightly concerned about that hill over there” she laughed.

Well at least they’d be playing on an even playing field then. It also seemed to help that the event was more of a test of their magical skills then it was a show of physical strength. Ruby was quite sure she wouldn’t be able to pick up a traditional caber let alone throw it. “We can only give it a go.” She withdrew her wand and carefully used the severing charm to temporarily shorten her long sleeves, having not pre-thought over the practicality of her attire.

"That'd be great! They would love that." Her mum especially. Her mum had stepsiblings, but they didn't visit often, except around holidays on occasion, so she knew her mum enjoyed getting to be more of an aunt to the kids of her friends, like Aunt Trixie, and she always loved getting to spend time with them. Regina chuckled at the mention of the history of the place. "Oh, yes, I think she might be more excited than any of the kids." This was exactly the sort of thing her mother loved.

Regina turned her eyes toward the hill Ruby was talking about. "Probably well-founded concern," she agreed with a chuckle. That hill did look like it could pose some trouble. But hopefully people would be careful enough not to trip over themselves or each other.

She, too, would have no ability to play if this game were about physical prowess or strength, so it was lucky that the organizers had chosen magical ways to participate. Otherwise, she would have been remaining on the sidelines to watch the much stronger people attempt it. Which, to be fair, might have also been interesting and impressive to watch. "Do you want to go first?" Since it seemed their turn was quickly coming up. She pulled out her wand as well, so that she was ready whenever her chance came.
