"That's for stretchin' my shirt!" Tal called with a grin as he sprinted past. All was fair in races and war--
Oof. Maybe not going there yet.
He made it into the tunnel first, which was all that mattered. He had no idea where they were going, but he figured they could find their way back easy enough by looking for the piles of knocked-over offerings at the entrance of the tunnels they'd barrelled through. But since Sah was still running, Tal was still running, too. He didn't think too much beyond that, and there wasn't time for it, either. Though he knew the other man was coming up behind him and he tried to dodge the incoming kick, he wasn't willing to give up his stride to do so and got tagged again.
Oh... wait. This wasn't a race! Fuck, he'd completely forgotten that--
But his knee twinged and he slowed on reflex to avoid twisting it. "Hey, wait--!" he called, but Sah was already past him and going around a curve--
Into a small, round, dead-end cavern with a faint glow filtering down from a hole in its ceiling. The courier rounded the corner and fell against the wall, laughing so hard he could hardly speak the words. "Guess I... win again... Jester...!"
