The tubby princess was quick to offer Artorias a friendly tail wag, hard enough that her whole rear wiggled with each swish. She'd heard enough about him to feel as though he wasn't an entire stranger, but the same couldn't be said for the second newcomer. Though she hadn't'd made it public knowledge-cause why would she, shy thing she was- there was no denying that Ophie thought ladies were very pretty and nice to look at. For the most part this meant getting a little flushed whenever she saw Hanako bouncing about but-wow this girl was really nice too. Just about as tall and-oop, was Artorias speaking?
Ophie made a face, her ears twisting flat as she heard the word agility. Just as Gos surmised, it well and truly was not her strong suit and the thought of making a fool of herself already had her heart racing in her chest. Of course, she knew it would be good for her, the more exercise the better, but this was like nightmare fuel incarnate. All of Ophie's worries and fears smushed into a public display of effort, with plenty of watchful eyes to judge her if she just wasn't good enough. She didn't want to be a stick in the mud, nor did she want to disappoint Briar and Artorias by wasting their time but... In part Ophie felt like she couldn't really say no either.
"Okay." Was all she managed, her voice barely above a whisper, watching Artorias show how it was done. And naturally he made it look effortless, Gos too as well.
And then it was time for her turn. Yay.
Though her attempt was neither as seamless nor as smooth as the others, Ophie somehow managed to avoid tripping over her own paws. At first. Her steps were thudding and heavy, as she wove around each post, having to sway out wider than the rest for...obvious reasons. The balancing log was a whole 'nother issue in and of itself. She took it slow and hesitant but even then that wasn't enough to stop her from toppling over one side, as she landed on the sand with a muffled ooof.
