Mal darted left and then right, turning on a single paw to pivot and then bolt the other way. She'd had a pretty good thing going, cutting this way and that, but it had its drawbacks. His pause didn't help -- for a fleeting moment, she'd thought she'd left him in the dust -- but he was only analyzing her movements, as it turned out. One moment he was still; the next, he was a flurry of pawpads across the sea of sweetgrass, gaining on her faster than she expected. Crap! The inevitable hip-tap drew a bark of laughter, and she slammed her forepaws into the earth, swinging her weight around in an a partial about-face. Her paws scuffed the grass, but she stayed on course, shaking with breath as she streamed directly after him. It was back down the walls of the basin again. Her strides faltered somewhat, careful not to tumble all the way down, but as the incline began to level out once more, she pushed herself, nearly flying over the ground. It took longer this time -- she could feel the weariness of the day beginning to tug at her limbs, slow her down -- but she was gonna tag him again. With a final burst of speed, she flew by, reaching out a forepaw to tap his own as she over took him. "Annnnd tag!" From there, it was a straight sprint across the basin; ears pinned, tail flagging out, giddy with laughter as she ran. |
