Kali vs Ardyn [Yearling party race]
Immediately, Kali could tell the boy was of the ‘morally upright’ types and her desire to schmooze him reduced to the negatives. He would clearly be no fun, and she had to bite her cheek to keep from sighing. What fun would it be if he didn’t want anything in return from her if he somehow managed to beat her? Races were meant to have stakes in them! The thought of owing something inevitably made one go faster, it gave them a sense of competition, and so far she was getting none of that. No, instead she simply wanted to get it over with. There would be no pleasure in this victory.
Both yearlings lined up at the starting line, taking her preferred starting positions. There was a moment of silence before the boy barked their commencement and they both shot off, legs stretched out and nostrils flaring as they began taking big, steady breaths to keep themselves in check. His long legs ensured him the advantage at the start, able to stretch out longer to get more ground, but that didn’t mean anything to her. She allowed him to be slightly ahead of her, also bidding her own time. They still had a fair amount of space between their position and the finish line, and one had to be strategic about how they went. If she burnt up all her energy then, how would she participate in other races, or work up the energy to gloat in the end? No, she was content to stride along just at his flank. She even purposefully made her breathing sound heavier to give the illusion of struggle. Victory was surely within her grasp.
