I moved across the rooftops at a leisurely pace. No point acting recklessly when I would be able to reach my destination in time regardless of my slow pace. Acting recklessly hadn't gotten me anywhere in the past here. Admittedly, taking risks was probably my only way to actually win this competition due to how far behind I was. But at this point, I wasn't really aiming for the win. I was aiming to do well. If that meant surviving longer than most others, or simply sticking out my neck to collect one or two more items, then so be it.
I stopped, eyeing up the long jump I was about to make. It was doable, but I figured I should warn Clownpiece first. "Hold on tight, this one is gonna be more than just a little hop."
"Don't worry Dane, I've got your back," Clownpiece spoke cheerfully as she tightened her hold. Her joke wasn't lost on me. I wasn't sure whether I should laugh, sigh, or be proud of how similar that joke was to something I'd say. I settled on grinning.
I bent my knees slightly, getting ready for the run-up. My feet kicked off the tiled roof, propelling my body forwards step after step. I knew my pace length, so the distance was calculated just right as my last foot stepped on the rim of the building top. Our hair blew behind us as we plowed through the air. My feet landed together on the other side half a metre away from the edge. As I thought before, it wasn't a dangerous jump. I could make further ones. There was just no point in making something so trivial a risk. Especially when we were currently making good progress towards our current short-term goal.
