Aurelia
Aurelia cut through the trail blazed by Deimos in his shift, not having guessed that he was an Attuned as well before challenging him to this race. Truly, she'd just been wanting to get a reaction out of him, but some small part of her thought she'd have been faster than him. She's keeping up fairly well, all things considered... maybe not as fast or as nimble, but she endures the trek and is determined not to lose him.
She's never actually been to the Rainbow Road before. She's seen it from distances but never really explored it. So when their trail veers them closer to it, the thought occurs to her that it may be a good place to practice with fire... after all, if there's nothing for the flames to catch hold of, perhaps then it would be cause for less concern from Deimos. He wouldn't have to question if she was trying to set the whole jungle on fire that way. So she slows to an eventual halt down by the riverbank.
"Hey! Okay, okay, you win!" She calls ahead to him and his companions, who are surely going to beat her all the way to Torchline. "Want to stop here for a bit?" She asks, voice faltering with the gasp of her lungs.
She glances over the rainbows that cover the surface of the water, surprised by how colorful this place truly is up close. She takes a much-needed moment to catch her breath, though, leaning down to place her hands against her knees and recover. Hopefully he agrees because she doesn't know how much longer she can keep chasing him for.
