He gave the smaller wolf a bit of a side-eye as they parroted back a word he had said with a giggle. "Are ye not a lad?" A quick sniff of the air confirmed that no this wolf was definitely a male, but perhaps it was more the term he had used instead of calling the wolf a male. At the very least the wolf agreed to his terms, even offering up how the race would be determined. Less for him to think about then, so he was fine with that. Raylan stared at the wolf for a few seconds, shifting his weight to the leg that carried the make-shift bag. He wasn't too worried about leaving it on the ground, as it wasn't filled with things that he couldn't ever find again. If he couldn't protect his own stuff then he didn't deserve to have them, but he wouldn't go as far to trust this wolf to not make a sneaky grab for it. "Very well, I accept yer terms." He let it fall to the ground with a thump, gently pushing it to the side so it wouldn't be in their way as his gaze found the lightning struck tree in the distance. He rolled his shoulders back and stretched down in a bow to make sure he wouldn't pull a muscle once they started. Once ready he leaned forward onto the very tip of his toes, glancing sideways at the smaller wolf to make sure they were ready before he began counting down. "Three, two, one... go!" Raylan pushed off with his back legs in a giant leap forwards, eating up multiple strides in one go before his front paws touched the earth again, and then just as quickly he bounded forward again in a lengthy stride. His long legs made it easy to leap over anything low that was in his way, but he wasted few precious seconds needing to slip under and between the undergrowth that he couldn't climb over. In this type of foliage it was probably better to be smaller-framed, but that was out of his control. And so he pushed himself as fast as his long legs could take him, bounding over and around obstacles he could, all the while trying to keep an eye on the smaller wolf as they raced.
