Feral

[Warlock]

"Right," he said, crouching, a look of determination on his face.

[Relairah]

She as well, a look of determination and excitement on her face. Her cat-like tail swished and her ears twitched. "GO!" she said, with a grin, taking off into a rather slow run, saving her energy for later. Her long legs to long strides, but then even Feral with shorter strides, could have a faster pace and perhaps therefore when the race. Who knew, except that this was fun.

[Warlock]

He began loping alongside her, his slender limbs extending in long strides that carried him rather swiftly across the landscape. He had forgotten that running could indeed be... enjoyable.

[Relairah]

She was not surprised that he could keep up with her, for she was not going at full speed, but even then if he kept up with her she would not be surprised. However, she might be surprised if he could beat her, or maybe by the length of which he was ahead of her at the finish. She was not taking this race seriously in the least, it was more of something fun to do. She glanced at him, a smile on her face, and she slowly began to quicken her pace.

[Warlock]

Feral's lavender eyes focused now upon the tree that was his goal. Lowering his body to the ground for maximum speed, he increased his pace. He wasn't really expecting to win, however.

[Relairah]

She smiled, giving a small chuckle. She did not often underestimate others, in fact she usually overestimated them. So, perhaps she was overestimating Feral's speed, but even so, she was yet not taking this race seriously. She simply continued to lope along, gradually increasing speed, or rather length in stride, for she also crouched lower, lying her ears against her head. She glanced at Feral now and then, and then would look once more at their destination. Her cat-like tail swished back and forth in her delight.

[Warlock]

He soon fell behind, but put on a burst of speed, attempting to pass the female.

[Relairah]

She smiled at his passing of her, and began to quicken her pace even more. She ran alongside him, keeping his exact pace. She herself wanted to know what her true speed could go to, but then, she didn't care all that much to find out. She swished her cat-like tail as she ran. This indeed was quite fun.

[Warlock]

He was now at his maximum speed, considering that he was running for his own enjoyment and not fleeing from danger.

[Relairah]

She herself was at fullspeed, or at least that is what she thought. She didn't want to see how fast she could go. This was simply a pleasure race and so there was no point in going faster than what she would for usual enjoyment. Perhaps not full speed one might say, but rather full stride. However, she and Feral for now seemed to be of equal match.

[Warlock]

He turned his head slightly to look at her, grinning. They were nearing that tree which she had pointed out.

[Relairah]

She still was not taking the race seriously, and so she kept her same pace. She swished her cat-like tail in her delight and excitement, while her tongue lulled out flying back. Her breath came in pants as her sides went in and out, almost a breath per stride. She looked over at Feral, a wide grin already on her face, before she looked once more at the tree that was their destination. They were drawing closer and closer rapidly.

[Warlock]

He skidded to a halt just before the tree, and collapsed, panting. His pink tongue lolled out of his mouth from between sharp white teeth, and he grinned at Katarina.

[Relairah]

She turned at the last second, narrowly missing the tree as she raced by it. She swerved, pulling around until she came to a stop on her bottom, then slowly stood and trotted towards Feral, wagging her tail. She smiled, her tongue lulling and her breath panting. "Wow, that was a good race. See, I told you you were good," she said, swishing her cat-like tail excitedly.

[Warlock]

"I guess so," he said with a small shrug. "It's not like I was faster than you, or anything."
