Spark vs Kaija [Yearling Party Race]

Fortunately for Spark, Kaija noticed nothing at all out of the ordinary. Generally she was far more excitable and boisterous than most wolves she met and she knew sometimes it caught strangers completely off-guard, and not always in a good way. Instead of dwelling on the reactions of others she'd long since learned to not care how they received her; whether it was her tusks or her size or her loud personality, there was always something about her that stood out, and she wouldn't let any of it weigh her down. "Great!" was all she chirped as she readied herself and waited for a sign, and that sprang forward as fast as she could.

The other girl was much, much smaller than her and likely wouldn't get tired as quickly so Kaija had to hope she could gain a lead on her and somehow keep it. Spark was no doubt faster, but maybe if she pushed really hard she could get ahead of her. She felt the burn in her legs already as her paws drummed hard on the ground, splayed paws gripping the dirt with each hard step she took forward. It was a clear, crisp day, the perfect sort of weather for a race, and she relished in the feel of the cold wind whipping against her face. Only occasionally did she glance to her side, searching for the fiery pelt of the girl she was racing - shit, had she somehow passed her? Kaija really hoped not. Even if she lost, she wanted to at least come close behind...
