[ Altria's smile is a precious thing to be treasured. She gives them out easily, but once in a while, something pure and genuine shines through, like the one she has on her face right now. This is something he finds himself wanting to protect. It's a strange sensation, but not wholly unwelcome.

But it seems the end of their serious discussion has come, now that Altria has satisfied her concern for the drifter. He smirks. ]

Don't cry if you lose.

[ Without waiting for a response, he dashes forward. He hadn't indulged her the first time she asked to compete, back when they met, so this time, he's willing to play. ]

[He dashes forward, and she was almost expecting him to refuse again--so he gets a few steps head start.

But she snaps back to herself quickly, running after him with all of her might, which is... you know, just the might of a standard, regular faerie girl.

She's having fun, though, grinning even through the determined look on her face as they race towards the entrance of the park.]

[ Unfortunate then that she's up against the Wanderer, who already leaned towards a speedy battle style which was enhanced by his Anemo Vision. Well, he doesn't have that right now, but he still has his speed.

But he's not trying to destroy Altria in the race, so he keeps a certain distance ahead of Altria, just enough that he'll win but not so far that she doesn't have a chance.

They arrive at the entrance soon enough and he crosses the entrance first, marking his win. He slows to a stop and turns around, grinning at her. ]

Looks like I win.

[HUFF PUFF...!!

She reaches the finish line after, of course, cheeks puffed out into a pout, but--well, an amused one, honestly. She's radiating a soft of comfortable contentedness in this moment, at least.]

Maybe you won this time, but I'll win the next one! Just you wait!

[featheradrift]

Heh. You'll have to work hard if you want to win.

[ So their little heart-to-heart was done now. It's... not bad, actually. To be forthright about his feelings. But it's a little uncomfortable too. He doesn't think he'll do it too often.

Still bantering playfully, the two of them end up leaving to explore the city some more and end the day with a delicious meal. ]
