When Fendros looked behind him, seeing Ahnasha gaining ground fast gave him one last burst of speed. Or, at least that's how he felt before he was suddenly grabbed by the waist and pulled to the ground before he expected it, at which point he nearly yelped. [i]She must have held back,[/i] Fendros thought, chuckling along with Ahnasha. "And I thought I had more room there..." Fendros said, a wide grin across his face as he caught his breath.

The run was invigorating, that was for sure. It made him feel far better than feeling sorry for himself and grieving. "I think I'll take you up on that offer, Ahnasha." Fendros said as he sat up and dusted himself off, "Funny... I think I understand what you meant about judgement. I never would have done that in public." Fendros offered a hand to Ahnasha, another thing he probably wouldn't have done in public unless it was to steady some overdressed noble lady out of a litter. "I didn't mean to at first, but I think we've run into a spot I recognise. The winery should be just over this ridge."
