She reached for him, and for a moment she was sure that she would feel his shoulder beneath her hand at any moment - but then he was gone and away, and she was left staggering through the air where he had been mere seconds before. With a muttered curse, Alys launched herself into a run, dodging through training mannequins in a desperate effort to keep up.
When she saw where he was headed, she nearly groaned aloud. Of course he would find some way to make this as challenging as possible.
The training wall was icy, and Alys was not as nimble as Deimos, for all she was quick and clever. She made it only a short way off the ground before her hold slipped and she fell, hitting the ground with a loud oomph that knocked the breath from her lungs. For a moment, she was dazed, watching Deimos ascend higher and higher as she lay, wheezing, on her back; but then she forced herself to her feet and doggedly forced herself to try the ice wall again. Now she had even more ground to make up.
