She sighs, taking off after him with surprising speed and agility.
"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost."

Kixig watched the guy sprint into town. "...Wow. That's guy's fast."

She was closing the distance to him, as agile as he was. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see her reaching out to grab him, slowly bridging the gap between them. Deciding that speed was a losing game, he whirled around suddenly, right leg out, hoping to trip her.
S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse
a persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma per ciò che giammai di questo fondo
non tornò vivo alcun, s'i' odo il vero,
senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.

Inferno, Canto 27, l 61-66.

He does, and her pupils seem to become slit for a moment as she hits the ground and rolls, coming back up running, though he's definitely increased the distance between them by a considerable amount. This might be a test of endurance - not speed.

"Perhaps the captain needs help?" said Rin as she watched the chase play out.

Kixig looked over to Rin with a quizzical expression before it registered into his head that Rin meant they should help. "Oh! I don't know. It really isn't my place to interfere... is it?"

"You are looking to join her crew, aren't you?" Rin raised her eyebrows as she glanced at Kixig. "It is only right for the three of us to help her catch a stowaway, as guests and future crewmates."

She hadn't intended to get involved in anything, but she often went with her gut without meaning to.

She approached the scene.

Despite his lead, Kellach realized that he didn't have nearly as much endurance as the captain. The sinking feeling in his gut told him he wouldn't make it to town. He was always more of a swimmer than a runner. And...that actually gave him an idea. As the lady that had been with the captain tried to cut in front of him, he wheeled around and made a beeline towards the ocean. There was no way he could lose there.

Rin sighed. This one was persistent. "Kixig, Maahes!" she called as she picked up speed again.

Yeah he wouldn't make it very far, would he? XD


"Leave me alone!" shouted Kellach as he jumped into the water, swimming in powerful strokes.

Kellach stopped and turned around, keeping himself afloat. "How young do you think I am?" he asked angrily.
