Run about the hallway. No stairs allowed

Thorn had been joking about the stairs.  Between the two of them, Thorn was the only one to fall down them which maybe counted as running?  He was interested enough in his idea of racing that with Talyssa not pointing out the seeming insult the boy was clueless to it.  She said it sounded perfect and that was the detail he latched onto.

The two neared the stairs, the starting line for a race about the floor. Taly said it was his turn to start the race and Thorn nodded eagerly.  Thorn shifted his shoulders, lowering his front end down.  Really, he wasn’t sure if it made him much faster or not but it felt like it might and it was kind of showy.

“One.  Two.  Three. GO!!!” Thorn didn’t bother with keeping his voice down.  If they were awake at this time, the idea anyone else might sleep in later had never crossed his mind.  At the word ‘go’ the boy leaped forward, running for all he was worth, a sideways glance to his sister for but a moment before his focus was solely on the path in front of him.
