run me like a racehorse

The young princess had followed her father’s call farther than she had ever been away from home. Even with her father to lead them, Kiyohime felt nervous about being out in the unknown. She tried to rely on the fact that she had both her big (or not so much bigger anymore) brother and father here to keep her safe and guide her along. Hattori knew what he was doing, and he wouldn’t actively place her in any danger that he or she couldn’t get herself out of. For once she was thankful for her massive paws and relatively small size. The sun returned and melted the top layer into an icy crust that she navigated on top of with relative ease. She slipped and fell, and broke through a few times but didn’t have to use her small form to wade through any drifts. The wind was the most difficult part of the trip. At many points she had to lean against her father’s legs lest the wind and ice carry her away just by pushing her.
She wasn’t near as heavy as her brother either. She wanted so badly to be a little lady like her sister Ikigai. She was so beautiful and perfect, but here she was, nearly tripping over her own paws, as she travelled the countryside. She was just so much better at hunting and fighting than she was making tea or music. A fact she didn’t like to admit, not even to herself. So when her father asked she said how high despite how much she needed to be practicing her writing or.. Walking. Kiyohime went through a thin patch of ice as she took a step forward. Her white front paw went crashing through the snow and she bonked her chin on the hard ice.
Ike made no noise to how much discomfort she was in, and would shoo away any glance her father might have given as she picked herself up and followed Kuroki nonchalantly. She didn’t even notice he’d stopped until she bumped into him lightly, but he gave her no notice and Ike followed his attention to see the incredible beast upon the ridge. The deer was massive, not to the size of the wolly elephants, but larger than any deer she had ever seen. By the look of her brother he hadn’t either. Her wide dual toned eyes took its majesty in for just a moment longer before Oki put a paw forward.
Then he was running and Shuriken made a split decision to follow after him, her paws were swift and fierce if not incredibly clumsy so she struggled to keep up but chase onwards she did. They were lucky that it didn’t intend to turn and charge on them because it was so big it could have pummeled them into the ice with ease. Maybe it was nervous about disintegrating the ice bridge further. She couldn’t know but she would run after, escorting it back to its home.
