"Neigh."
James blinked a little in surprise, he didn't think it was going to be that simple as he looked at the judges in surprise. There was a bit of a chuckle from around the auditorium since it was such an easy word.
"Neigh," James said as he was a bit confused but he wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth, pun not intended with that word. Still, it was his word and he could spell it easily enough. "N-E-I-G-H. *NEIGH*!"
He blinked a little in surprise, he hadn't just said it, he had actually made the sound like a horse. That didn't make sense, why would he have made that sound? He shrugged a little, it was probably nothing more than his imagination.
"Very good," the judge said with a smile. "You make take your seat."
James smiled and headed over to his seat a little faster than he meant to. His feet were starting to feel more stiff and and he gave a smile to the others as if to say "That was easy!"
"Veronica, you're next," the judges said and Veronica got up and took the spot. "Your word is whinny."
Veronica blinked in surprise, she got a horse related word too? That was weird, but she wasn't about to question it, after all they were the ones who were in charge here not her.
"Whinny," she said and looked back at the judges and took a deep breath. "W-H-I-N-N-Y. *WHINNY*!"
She barely noticed that she had made the noise itself before she moved back to her seat after a moment and looked over at James. A tail formed from behind her and she swished it a little.
