With Asher setting the bait his friends and even Laura accepted the challenges. Art and Jane moved off on their own while Laura grudgingly moved to a different place with a staff member. She was the only one that was unsure of her match. She had been beaten so easily by Asher and she didn't know how it old pan out against someone else.
Asher stayed right where he was. His opponent was not budging either. They held each others' gaze in a staring match. The buoy that Asher had just taunted wanted nothing more than to rush in and attack. But he saw the throw that Asher had used to catch Jarred and he knew that there was a chance it could repeat. On top of that Asher had said he would make him fly, he was practically saying he would throw him.
