Otter Creek M { i'll risk everything if it's for you

A streak of lightning, she takes off in a blur of grey and red. Aldric may not be as fast, but… well, he doesn’t quite have an advantage at all in this, does he? For while Nirali’s speed may affect her stamina, Aldric’s bulk did the same. The lanky boy nonetheless sprints after her, going full speed once they stride parallel to the creek and leave the mountains long in the dust. Alas, his warrior traits may grace him with excellent maneuverability on the battlefield, he is no ballerina over terrain, and Aldric trips upon something—perhaps his own feet, or a branch that stuck out just right, or a gremlin Nirali hired while Aldric caught up. Staged. No matter the reason, Aldric takes a tumble.
