Ha ha... Perhaps not so proud yet, but the distance does seem slightly more surmountable.

[And that's always nice to think about, isn't it?]

I hope you do not mind if I try once more... [Because he's already picking up another ring. If it's not okay, he'll pay for it, it's fine!!! But, well, since he's so close, it would be a pity to not try again, wouldn't it?]

[This time, now a little more certain with how to position his arm and with some correction on how much power he'd put into it... Dimitri tries one more time. For a moment, it almost seems as though he's overthrown just a tad, but then... The ring catches the very lip, awkwardly jerking back.]

[Dimitri doesn't leap for joy or any such thing, just a victorious clench of his fist to his chest, but he's rather happy all the same, even as Mononoke leans his cheek against his shoulder.]

It landed!
