Aneira
Anne laughed when the older woman looked annoyed, and darted forward again to pursue her. She was flagging badly - even though she had better endurance than most sprinters, she had been traveling for a while. She was close enough behind Yumiko to see her jump over the rock, but her tired muscles portested loudly when she attempted to jump it... and she stumbled. With a yelp she pitched forward, rolled down a small hillock, and into a half melted snowbank.
She managed to pulled herself out in time to see Yumiko smacked across the nose by a tree branch and nearly careen into a tree. She snickered under her breath as she pulled herself out of the snow and set off again at a breakneck pace. She dodged root and branch and stone until she was two lengths behind the older blonde. That was as close as she could get.
She heard Yumiko's victory shout as she crossed some boundary Anne could not see. She came screeching to a stop, and collapsed panting on the ground. Her eyes were drawn to a pair of blue lights peering out of a bush just behing the older female. "Leah?" She asked dumbfoundedly.
The girl sat in the center of the clearing, tail curled neatly around her paws. She yawned. "So how was the race?"
