Chain Chomp

Masses of followers and suitors, eh? Mock serious, he replied dryly, "I'll try." He tensed, well, okay, tensed further, and bent his knees, ready to run when she gave the signal. It came all too soon for his likely, but with sharp word, she urged him into action.

Her command echoing in his ears, Valentine bailed left. He kicked off, throwing himself as far away from the reptile as possible. The brute's tail tucked, his rump dropping as he imagined the lizard's jaws mere inches from his hide. Once his paws touched ground, the brute threw in one more long stride before pivoting. Instinct screamed that he was a moron, that he should keep running and not look back, but that's not how the game went.

Much to his surprise (now really, he shouldn't have been that surprised) the reptile, having seen him dive away, had turned to go after him. In a heartbeat, Valentine was nearly nose to jaws with the beast. Once more he bailed to the side, fighting the undignified shriek that threatened to come ripping from his jaws as he spun completely around and was pursued several paces by the lizard before it gave up.
