A solid maybe on not a date

Mortis was quite certain he wasn’t going to be able to catch up with his friend, Hikaru was too quick, and his headstart was too strong. That didn’t mean he wasn’t going to give it his best. He wouldn’t just give Hika the win. They left the woods behind, and the hot springs were just ahead of them. Mortis put in a little extra burst of wind. Feeling the drumming of his heart, the steady beat of his paws. The rasp of his breath, loud in his ears.

One moment, Hika was just ahead of him, the next, Mortis was shooting ahead, his friend suddenly stopped, and, a moment later, Mortis realised why. He hit the edge of the mud pile, and his paws skidded in the slick surface. Going too fast to stop, he did the splits, landing hard on his chin and sliding another few feet forward. His wings waving in the air in a pathetic show. As through they could have done anything to catch him. Shaking out his head, he tried to get his paws under him. He was muddy from head to tail, he was even shaking it out of his eyes. “You okay, Hikaru?” He called out as he lost his footing again and hit the floor a second time.
