Come down, come down sweet reverence

Jynn was in a good mood, it had rained early in the morning and now the sun was breaking through the clouds making the whole Falls seem like it was shimmering. The birds were singing and Jynn had managed to talk Birna into a little race. After a discussion on the merits of canines vs felines it was decided to do a spring to test out each of their speed. She pranced over to the starting line and waited for Birna to catch up. The'd be racing across the open ground and then up the mountain side. Jynn was fairly certain she had the upperpaw when it came to racing over open ground. The mountain was where the real challenge would be.

Birna stretched, her back arcing as her paws stretched out in front of her, claws flexing. She had to agree it was a gorgeous day out. As much as she'd prefer it to be a little less wet she could appreciate the rain and the cooler weather it brought with it. She had agreed to race Jynn. It had been awhile since she'd hunted for something other than fish and small game. She was eager to go after some mountain goats and figured a race or two would be a great way to get back in hunting shape and to get in practice maneuvering around the falls while going at break neck speed. She soon spied the long-legged femme and moved toward her. "Ready?"

Speech

Come down, come down sweet reverence

Jynn grinned as Birna arrived and asked her if she was ready. "Ready to kick your extra fuzzy butt? Every day of the week!" She couldn't resist a playful jab at the feline even though she knew her racing record was spotty. Some days she was queen of the racetrack and other days it was a wonder how she even managed to walk without tripping over herself. Jynn looked over to her companion Tahmores who agreed to sound off the race. He counted down then shouted go. As soon as she heard that word she vaulted forward, her long limbs eating up the distance across the plains as she loped forward. One long stride after another she was soon in the lead.

Birna smirked as Jynn took a jab at her. "We'll see." She wasn't the sort to bluff or pound her chest. She would let her victory speak for itself if she indeed managed to win this race. They lined up next to each other and Birna tensed, ready to spring into action. She focused on the trail ahead of her rather than Jynn's companion. Though her ears were small and round her hearing was sharp and as soon as Tahmores said go she was off like a shot. Despite her leaping ability it was Jynn's long legs that gave the canine the lead. Still, Birna persisted after and soon they reached the mountain. Birna leapt again, using her tail to balance as she scaled the rocky crevice toward the finish line.

Come down, come down sweet reverence

Jynn continued to take the lead, racing ahead faster and faster until she crossed the finish line with a whoop of excitement. Panting she turned to face the cat, tail waving like a banner. "Ha! Seems like my luck is turning." Finally! Jynn had suffered one defeat after another when it came to races and she felt good knowing she beat the cat. Sure, sure, snow leopards were sprinters or whatever but it still counted! Jynn sat down heavily, just taking in the cool air. "Let me know when you're ready for round two."
