It was another day. Another morning dawned, and another opportunity to get as much out of life as she possibly could. In a sleepy haze, she brought herself to her paws, and happily trotted out the open door to their parent's room, down the hall, and around the corner. But when Thorn stepped in front of her, blocking her path, and calling for her attention- she looked at him puzzled. That is, until he went on to describe a race rematch. A grin lit her features as she nodded with enthusiasm. "Okay! That sounds really fun!" The girl exclaimed while stifling a yawn.
When he gestured to the stairs a little ways further down the hall, she followed with her pale blue eyes. Nodding at his proposal, she was inclined to agree. "That sounds perfect." Talyssa affirmed. Though, whenever he made the point that if she ran down the stairs, she would lose- she tried very hard to keep her eye-rolling on the inside. Of course, she wouldn't be so foolish as to run down the stairs. But she felt that she couldn't point this out without being rude, so she nodded in acknowledgment instead
As they approached the staircases, she shot a sideways glance to Thorn. "You count this time." Lyssie insisted while looking for the best place to start in.
