It had been too long since he raced. It felt childish, but also not. Torben walked to the starting line, side glancing at Audra. It was good to see her again, and in better spirits than last time. "Don't go easy on me, now." He would joke with her, gesturing with one paw to his massive size. It was clear he wasn't expecting to win, though it would be welcomed regardless.

"Ready" he crouched down "steady" thankfully there were clouds in the sky to cover him from the harmful rays "go!" Torben lunged forward, trying to will himself into speed over strength. Audra would no doubt overtake him if he couldn't be bothered. But for once, he laughed and let himself have fun. The wind through his fur felt amazing. No more chill, even if he was used to it.

Spring had truly sprung.

_________________________________________________________________

It was pleasant to see the albino dire once more. It was even better that they were getting to race together! Other than healing, racing and traveling were some of her favorite hobbies. Following Torben through the north to the starting point, she made sure to steer clear of the river. While the water was probably refreshing, her lack of sight would make it difficult to navigate the slippery rocks.

As they steadied themselves beside each other, she looked up at him with a smirk. "I-I never go easy," Audra hummed before she looked ahead. Rolling her shoulders back and letting her muscles relax, she waited for his say. When the word 'go!' left his lips, Audra took off like a rocket. Tongue rolling from her lips, happy yips to follow, she burst forward with happiness. The feel of her grippy paws against the dirt made the terrain easier for her as she listened to the splash of salmon in the river. Torben could easily win by stride alone but she would try anyway!

The feeling of racing was something foreign almost. Torben hadn't expected a full festival around it, to be frank. Jynn had done a good job organizing. He'd have to thank the woman later. Focus on Audra as she took off like a speeding bullet, he did his best to keep up with her. Her vow to not go easy on him almost - almost! - made him lag behind on purpose. But that wouldn't be fair to her.

His legs stretched for the first time in ages. Audra's yipping caused him to laugh, chasing after her with a feeling of joy. Felt good to run, even if he was terribly sore from the effort already. "Gonna get ya!" he cawed behind the smaller wolf, trying to gain on her. His paws felt heavy and weighed, thumping with each step. Torben had a hard time not slipping on the slick grass. Oh boy.

It was obvious that Audra kept herself in good shape. While her frame was small, she was built well enough for speed and agility. Dodging branches and rocks as best she could with her limited eyesight, she took one glance back toward Torben. At first, she thought he was going to lag behind. Possibly make it easy for her to win? In her mind, that was considered rude! Just because he had longer legs didn't mean she wasn't faster than him. Determined to prove a point as she noticed him stretching his stride, she focused back on the race at hand. Pushing her muzzle forward, ears folded, and tongue back in her mouth, she raced toward the finish line.

She looked back at him once, only once. Torben flashed her a tired but happy grin. This was going to be difficult to win, but he'd do his best. It wouldn't be fair to Audra to let her win, though how does one let someone win a race? It'd be more work to make sure you controlled yourself in stride and speed. Though he knew if he won, it'd be a very slim chance and very close.

Torben tried to will his weary traveled body forward. He gained a bit of speed, but Audra was already ahead of him. His attempts to keep up would be futile as he was more concerned about slipping. His eyes dropped from her frame and looked at the ground, cringing inwardly. His paw pads were used to snow and cold dirt, not slick grass. He wobbled a bit as he ran, conscious of the fact all it took was one fall and he'd be hurt.
