silly danger, you say?

Maki stumbled as he hooked his paw around her leg, only just barely managing not to fall arse over tit in a jumbled pile of black and white. She hurried to stand a little straighter, holding in her breath as much as she could, much like someone who had run to catch the bus but didn't want everyone to see just how out of shape they were. Everything was fine, her heart totally wasn't thudding in her chest, slamming against her ribs like some old-fashioned dubstep beat.

"Oh I know." That's something Delphi would say, right? All bravado and confidence. If Maki had hair she'd be swishing it right now. Except they'd ran so hard and so fast that she also sort of wanted to puke. Maybe it'd be okay if she sat down a little, just on her rump.
