the courier was sure-footed and swift as he dodged her attempted attack and continued on. Maybe turning back to pelt a bean bag at his friend who was already behind him wasn't entirely sporting, but he was just, uh... returning her bean bag, yeah! Now she'd have extra ammo to throw at him!
Though he could see that they were approaching a broad platform a little ways ahead, and that would make a good finish line for now. Pushing themselves was the plan, but not pushing themselves so far that they got sloppy and slipped. They were already pretty high up, and it was a long way down to very hard landing...
But Tal was still feeling fairly fresh and since he'd so 'kindly' given Soh her beanbag back he was sure it would be flying towards him again any second now. With a fierce grin he began to dodge and weave his way up the broken stones of the edge, crouching low, jumping extra high, and leaping to the side to grab a detached, floating stair step and pull himself up to the next level. He saw the projectile fly harmlessly past his successful dodging and he paused in a crouch atop a large piece of airborne masonry to look over his shoulder.
"One last chance," he called back, gesturing to the platform a little ways up. "First one there wins!"
And then he was off, presenting Sohalia a tempting target as his routes to the finish line narrowed and forced him back towards the center line.
