Gilded Bay began to touch, but you wouldn't let it!

Giggles continued to erupt throughout the duration of their game. Ying was barely keeping her eyes open, but held strong against her opponent. She was semi-confident that she would win, too...until he decided to play dirty. The gust of air came during an inhale, choking her as it forced its way into her windpipe. She began to cough and stepped away, regretfully sacrificing her title for her life. 

Once she'd caught her breath again, Ying turned to face the mink. She had the expression of a fallen woman; though it was subtle, the droop of her eyelids would have been hard to ignore. Competitive by nature, she hated to lose, especially when she knew she could have won. She remained silent as she walked from water to shore.
