Granny? Darn pup had snuck up on her when she was concentrating. Yumiko just huffed in Anne's direction, miffed, and picked up her speed. Although she still had breath to talk with she didn't want to waste her air so soon. The race wasn't even half done, after all. She figured that no matter how young and full of life her oponent was she would still be tired, after having only just been accepted into AniWaya and therefore having travelled for quite a while to get there. Plus this was Yumiko's territory; as if some newcomer would know the way better than her.
As if to prove her point, she swerved gracefully around a tree in her path and leaped a rock before it even came into sight. She used to trip over that darn thing all the time, and wondered if Anne (or Leah for that matter) would notice it in time. She grinned evilly. Oh dearie me, did you sprain your ankle? Forfeit the race? Darn shame, that! or something along those lines. In theory. Nonetheless the femme continued on her way, trees whirling by her in that way that only occurs at high speeds. They would all blend together, yet be as obvious as a fly on her nose for a split second as her eye registered its existence. Very odd indeed.
Yumiko had lost track of where Anne was again as she chose to concentrate on her paws and landing in the ideal places for pushing off. She hadn't staggered yet since she ran this path almost every day, and yet she still managed to get wacked in the snout by a branch as she lifted her head higher to look ahead. She blinked, disoriented, and nearly rammed into a tree, all without slowing down if moving a bit drunkenly. She avoided the tree at the last minute and hurriedly picked up her pace to faster then before, now thoroughly convinced Anne could have passed her if that rock hadn't tripped her up earlier.
This is SO CONFUSING ;_;
"Talk." Walk. Think.
