Hanging in there. Better than the alternative.
Rickol stumbles onto stage and falls into a roll before rolling all the way up to his feet. Just then, his sister's words register in his head.
<Oh no, not this bit again.>
But it's too late. The two of them have practiced this stunt too many times for his body to not know what to do. He runs into a jump high into the air with two of his own daggers and knocks all but one of the daggers into the air. The remaining dagger lands abruptly, blade down, perfectly vertical to the stage. With another few jumps and slices, each dagger lands onto the hilt of the previous.
When four daggers have made a tower, Rickol takes a bow and looks quizzically at his sister. "Wait, how many--" Just then, Icarus flies by, dropping the final dagger at Ross's feet, blade down.
With a flourish, Rickol pulls out the rest of his daggers and tosses them in a similar fashion to his sister, "The terrific ten-toed tiny twins! We each have all ten of our toes, though they're not all still attached to our feet."
He watches as his sister reacts, ready to grab daggers from the tower, to toss more at her at the appropriate times. They end up juggling all nine daggers between the two of them, with Icarus flying through at odd intervals.
They each pull off some acrobatics, but the finale comes with Rossarrell juggling all nine daggers high into the sky, and Rickol runs behind her and jumps over her, not being touched by a single dagger.
