His spirits restored Minstrel flashes Dew Drop Sun a smile. "So what's the winner get?"
This time he's ready when she says go, following after her at a galop, eyes on the stones ahead.

Well, she hadn't considered prizes. Usually bragging rights was enough for her. Focused on her running, she tossed her head in an unsure way, "Perhaps some tasty berries when we return home? Or a choice of their prize!" She wasn't sure she knew him well enough to presume what he may want for reward.

Half Truth pulled ahead further, carefully avoiding any of the wrong rocks. This section of the path didn't have much overlap, so it wasn't too difficult.

"Berries would be lovely!" He calls to her. "What about if you win?" Which she might, even as he thinks it Minstrel puts on a burst of speed, running almost after than he should.

She watches the stones ahead carefully as she continues on, squinting her eyes as she considers his question. "Hmmm," she glances back for just a moment as he begins to catch up, "Perhaps a day of training from the expert at Leap Frog racing!" She grins and adds a kick to her stride as she turns back, picking up her own pace -- though he, indeed, could still overtake her.

Half Truth stretched her legs as she leaped from rock to rock. They were spaced a bit further here; the running had really turned to jumping in places.

"Now that is a prize!" He tells her, his smile half teasing and half beaming pride. Not over yet he doubles his efforts in an attempt to pass her.

She grins at his response. Soon enough, however, the rocks became spaced enough that Dew Drop Sun had to adjust her gate and almost leap among some of the rocks. "Apparently, though, we'll get some practice now!" She kept on as best she could, though she was sure he would overtake her here with his long legs and practice hopping.

Almost there! The end was in sight- but were they fast enough? Half Truth didn't know.

She nearly stumbled making the adjustment, but held her composure. But were they fast enough?

Grinning Minstrel comes up beside Dew Drop Sun. "You did good. Wonder how long before we see if it's done or we'll be needing a rematch?"

The stones, which have been glowing steadily, suddenly cease. After about half a minute, two of them begin to glow again. OOC Unfortunately, you will need to start this leg of your journey over from the beginning. The target number is 15. You have twenty-five OOC minutes from when 1 is posted. You guys are really close; good luck!

"Looks like we weren't quite fast enough," Half Truth said ruefully. "All right. Let's do it again and kick up the pace!"

During the brief half-minute lull between the stones going dark and them lighting up again, a minty breeze, the flutter of wings, and a trill of encouraging birdsong announced the return of another member of their party. Wildflower Breeze alighted on Half Truth's head, one foot on the base of her horn, and one tangled gently in her hair. His traditional repertoire didn't have anything quite suited to the occasion, so he belted out what he'd been told was the melody to a kiokote running song. He hoped that was actually what it was.

Dew Drop gave a huff and squinted at the obelisk, "Well, fine. Guess we have to try harder to impress you, huh?" As they walked back to the start, she bumped her shoulder into Minstrel's, "Ready to go again?"
As they rounded the starting stone again, she gave a little wiggle before she shot off, "Let's show this obelisk what we can do!"
