These days Ophie spent a lot of time with Kaija and regardless of what they did it never felt like a moment was wasted. There were no expectations to live up to the Fatalis name or to constantly push herself to her limits so she got back into fighting form. They were just...happy together, you know? Comfortable like a home away from home. Ophie plodded along, her tail swishing behind her as she finally found a long stretch of flat terrain nestled between the hills of the Gulley. It was silly and probably very childish but they'd found a weird looking mushroom earlier and neither of them could decide who ought to eat it. So rather than falling back on a spar to work out the victor, as wolves tended to do, Ophie had gotten all fixated on the idea of a race.

Obviously her figure spoke volumes, she wasn't very fast on her paws. But now that Hanako seemed to be back home more often than not, it wasn't uncommon to see the Diplomat galloping up and down the Armada's beaches, making it look effortless as she rushed along, barely disturbing the sand in her wake. Ophie was never gonna be that graceful, nor did she really want to be, but it looked like fun. And who else to have a good time with then her best friend?

Ophie stepped forward and slapped at the ground for emphasis, before dragging her paw along horizontally to draw the starting line. This was a very serious affair with no efforts spared. Waiting for Kaija to fall in line beside her, Ophie cleared her throat, all business despite the blooming smile across her features.

"You see that hill there? The one with the bumpy ridge. Whoever passes it first is the victor. And whoever loses must eat that stinky mushroom we found earlier. Agreed?" She waited for the girl's acknowledgment before she gestured for her robin to come over and act as their starter. "Run at his third tweet."

One tweet. Two tweets. THREE!

And they were off! Ophie kicked off into a run, her claws jabbing out as she scrambled to get purchase. The finishing line wasn't too far ahead so she didn't think she'd get too knackered fast, but unless she really gave it her all she wasn't going to win, was she? She did not want to eat that mushroom if she could help it and the thought of Kaija chowing it down really tickled her, like a wolf forced to eat grass or something equally unappealing.

Her paws thundered across the winter dried grass as her sides heaved and heart raced. She didn't even think to look to her side to see where Kaija was at, her eyes were on the prize and as long as she kept up this limb aching pace she'd get there soon. Hopefully!
