(4/7)

Great. Just great. The kids latched onto the idea of a race, and Casimir had to tilt his head back and sigh, loudly, at the sky. This wasn't gonna end well. He rolled his shoulders then loped over to Tsisia, leaning in to whisper. "If the loser is graceful about it, maybe they'll be inspired not to kill each other?" He shrugged, then in a louder voice teased, "Just don't break my ankle again, huh Tsi-Tsi?"

"Cool! Then the winner is gonna be extra strong, racing out here." Ares said, chin raised proudly as he strut towards the older kids, lining up between Tsisia and Tadhg. He looked at the smaller boy and, when he felt the older kids weren't looking, he made a thumbs down motion towards him, then pointed, smiling meanly.

Eurig would be disappointed in him for bullying a little kid, but he hoped his cool uncle would understand - he had to protect his mom's honor from a little brat!

Tsisia - 5

"Like it would matter, Cassie. You'll cry about it anyway." She looked down at the boys, making sure they were being good and hadn't caused too much of a scene before waving her hand and signaling the start.

It would put her at a disadvantage initially, but in a way she preferred it. At least if she were behind the kids then she could see if they were being fair or not. Being behind Cas, though? She'd rather bury him in the sand.

Tadhg - 5

Ah! Rude! His golden eyes widened, but Tadhg's resolve just hardened. He definitely had to win now. "Yeah, too bad I've been running on beaches my whole life." Which wasn't a total lie. Pua had been a particularly beautiful, lush place and he'd learned so much about life there as a boy. Matori wasn't much different, but the rocks would prove a challenge.

When Tsisia signaled the race to start he took off, leveling his breathing like his grandbaba had taught him.

Any other time, Casimir would have laughed it off like he always did. But something about the worried looks his dads got when he 'won' babysitting duty left him feeling strangely self conscious. He wasn't the smartest of their family, and didn't really have a lot of self preservation, but he wasn't stupid and he wasn't irresponsible - he wouldn't let the kids get hurt!

Tsisia was only returning that same pre-game talk he'd started, but he still felt a flash of hurt at being called a crybaby, even if it was the gods-honest truth. He braced himself, ready to go - and at her hand motion he burst forward with all the speed he could muster. Not the lackadaisical, half-hearted participation he'd expected going into this.

Ares filed that information away, the voice of his dad in his ear. Don't underestimate him, just because he's smaller. Ares dropped into a ready position, then ran as soon as Tsisia's hand came down - only to hiss and stumble just a bit when his foot collided with something rocky.

Right, just as she'd said, the beach wasn't the smooth, polished gravel of his homeland along the isle, or the soft fluffy sands beyond the tide pool. Here, shells had gathered and broken down halfheartedly, rough and uncomfortable under his bare feet.

He squared his shoulders and ran as best he could, but his initial surprise saw Tadhg peeling out infront of him by a handful of paces.

Tsisia - 6

Never one to be outdone, a primal part of Tsisia's brain kicked in. She kept an eye on the boys of course, but almost as soon as the race started the teen's legs took on a mind of their own. She ran and she ran hard.

It wasn't enough to surpass Casimir, but she was gaining and she'd already run off on the younger two.

Tadhg - 6

His initial strong start was starting to slow. Tadhg's habit of 'run like fire is chasing you' often left him breathless and without a doubt the boy was starting to wheeze. Nimueh's voice was in the back of his head, chastising him for not breathing but he couldn't help it! If he didn't give it his all he wouldn't win!

He spread his legs out and crab ran across the shells. The bottom's of Tadhg's feet had already calloused enough that the intial pricks didn't stop him as much as knowing his - whatever Ares was - was close behind him.

Cas knew that Tsisia was a better athlete than him by far, so he pushed as much energy into his limbs as he could. Still, he imagined he could hear the pounding of her feet only just behind him. What efforts he gave only managed to keep him ahead of her - but not to gain any sort of speed, and with a flash of disappointment he realized she very likely would pass him up towards the end.

(6/7)

What in Aisha's name was he doing? The boy ahead of him dropped into some sort of strange waddle-run, but Ares decided against mimicking it. His legs burned as he pushed himself, feet screaming as his comparatively tender soles complained at every step, but he did it...! He'd broken past Tadhg! He laughed, breathlessly, the downed tree that Tsisia had said was their end goal coming closer. If he could just keep this up he'd win!

Tsisia - 7
(Final score; 9)

What was he on today?! Tsisia pushed past the discomfort of running on broken shells and sharpened driftwood. It pushed into the callouses of her feet, making the girl wince as she ran, but even with all her efforts she couldn't catch up to him.

Was he just better than her at a straight run? That day with the ball, on the beach; had that all been some sort of trick of his to get under her skin?! The closer she got to the fallen tree the more her mind raced and eventually the teen started to slow out of exhaustion.

Tadhg - 7
(Final Score: 13)

It was neck and neck now. With the older kids so much further from them there was no one around to stop Tadhg if he just shoved the other boy down, but he wouldn't! Not when he was so close to winning on his own right!

He could had to keep crab running a little bit longer!

Final Score: 16

Casimir's energy began to bleed from his limbs, his lungs burning - but he was so close! Suddenly, beating Tsisia felt insanely important, and he pushed as much energy into the last few yards as he could -

He blew past the tree and, realizing that was the end of the race, went to stop - only to trip and send himself rolling in the rough sand until he landed on his back, wheezing as he fought to breath. Cas couldn't catch his breath, and his feet hurt like crazy, likely torn in places from the rough terrain and his own breakneck pace, but after a moment he managed to raise a fist in victory, before letting his arm fall back to the ground with a tired moan.

Final Score: 10

Ares was so close! If he just - but once again his foot flinched from a rough step, and he realized as he stumbled that the kid's stupid looking crab walk had won him the race. He slowed to a disappointed jog, then stopped to prop his hands on his knees, gasping for air.

He was... grudgingly impressed, and after a moment he waddled to the other boy, wincing at his aching feet - before he punched his knuckles, in a friendly way, against his shoulder.

"You talk- 'bout my mom like that - I'll drown ya. But that run - was smart!" He said, breathlessly. Then he grinned a bit lopsided at the boy, opening his mouth to say more - only to wince and stare as the older boy crashed to the ground in a flurry of limbs. He winced, sympathetically.
