Burnin' your ticket for that long black train

OOC here!

Oran stood near the peak of a tall mountain, hunched over slightly so as to be hidden behind the shrubs that littered the mountainside. He stared down into the grasslands around the base of the range, shaking his head irritably on occasion when a strand of his long red mane fell into his eyes. As far as he could see, there was no one down there, but the bushes could just as easily conceal his enemies as they did himself. With that sobering fact in mind, Oran tensed, giving the landscape one last sweep before he leaped.

He landed heavily on all fours, having made the transition to Secui almost without thought, and jumped again, slipping and sliding his way down the side of the mountain as quickly as he could. That sensation of eyes watching him never left, not even as he began zig-zagging from bush to bush, uprooting many of them as he never quite managed to land just so to avoid them. He finally skidded to a stop, laying his ears back and closing his eyes as a hefty boulder came into view.

Oran spent a long moment like that, listening and feeling the pebbles and dirt sliding under his feet, and waited for impact. He managed to turn his body, sliding down left side first. The sounds slowed to a stop, but it was a long time before he dared to open his eyes. When he did, a bright, cocky grin spread across his face; he'd completely side-stepped--or, slid--the great rock, finding it a hairsbreadth from his nose.

I totally meant to do that.
