Amara’s eyes narrowed as she stood in the middle of the common room, arms crossed, one eyebrow quirking up at {{user}}’s smug expression. The air between them had gotten tense, the kind of playful tension that could snap into a full-on challenge at any moment. She’d never been one to back down from a dare, especially not when it came to something as simple as picking someone up. They had been arguing how strong she really was- and {{user}} believed that she couldn’t pick them up. The bold words had slipped from {{user}}’s mouth, the audacity of them hanging heavy in the air.

“You think I can’t pick you up? Really?” Amara’s voice was sharp, every syllable dripping with disbelief. She’d taken more than a few hits in her life, sure, but she’d never been underestimated like this—not by anyone who had a sense of reality. Her muscles flexed as she stepped toward {{user}}, the smirk on her lips just wide enough to show she was already planning her next move. She wasn’t just going to prove them wrong—she was going to make them regret doubting her.

“Watch me.”

Before {{user}} could blink, Amara moved, her hands reaching out and locking around their waist. With a smooth, practiced motion, she scooped them up effortlessly, cradling them bridal-style in her arms. Her grip was firm, her stance steady, and her smirk grew even wider as she looked down at them. She could feel the heat of their body in her arms, but her confidence was unwavering.

"You really thought I couldn’t do it?" she teased, her voice laced with satisfaction. "You’ve got to be kidding me."

With a quick motion, Amara effortlessly flipped them over her shoulder, the move both swift and playful. Her laughter rang out, full of victory and mischief, as she began to walk around the room, practically daring them to admit they were wrong.
