The fact Nina is entertained seems to push Anika more. Most of the patrons are watching the interaction, but some seem to try to keep to themselves considering how pissed off the guy looks. "Ye tryin to get yer face smashed in, ye gobshyte?" His face was all shades of red. Anika pushed juuuust a bit further. "Of course not. If I wanted that, I'd just have poured a drink over you myself rather than make you do it. You're probably upset. That's understandable. Wet knickers are a bitch, let me tell you," she said, finishing off the small bit of beer in her bottle.
The Irishman was fuming, looking to snap at any moment. "That being said," she continued, "I propose a way to clear this all up. Like the civilized shitters we are, hm? You fancy a contest of sorts?" He gave her a look that said he really wasn't, but there was a bit of a curiosity there that made her smile and continue. "Oh no, no. I know for a fact I can't drink you under the table. Don't even begin to think that one. I was thinking more along the lines of some good old fashioned arm wrestling."
He laughed in her face, looking her over. "This'll be easy. Ye really gonna just throw it to me jes like that?" Anika smiled. "Sure. You win, I buy your drinks for the rest of the night and do you the favor of drying your pants. Sweet of me, I know. But I feel so bad about it. And if I win, you pay for our drinks," she said, motioning to Nina and herself, "and a round for the whole bar. Simple as that. I'm sure bets could be placed by others too..." she said, looking around at the patrons. They seemed interested, considering none of them believed Anika could win. It was easy money, right? It was highly likely Nina knew Anika had a trick up her sleeve, especially if she had never lost before. But the patrons didn't know that...
