for all of Jamie’s vigour, she can’t quite measure up to Cit’s large size. even now, young as they are, he’s simply too solid to move with strength alone. as such, Jamie fights to keep her footing as he bats at her with those big paws, little claws scrabbling along the ground. she can’t allow him not to gain the upper hand, not when it would mean certain defeat - a cough grips her, and Jamie tenses as her chest starts spasming, lungs aching as she grabbles for air. struck with sudden panic, she stumbles backward and presses a paw to her chest, beating against her breastbone as cough after cough follows. her brows scrunch together, a mix of frustration and anxiety warring through her. she…can’t…breathe!
