"I like to think I'm okay. I haven't raced in a while- Wait knives?" Kido looked around, a bit startled by this new information. Who would bring knives here? ...Or actually...Nah, that was kind of a silly explanation. So who and why? Was it the somewhat intimidating girl he hadn't noticed before? That would seem to fit, since he had not seen her anywhere before and hadn't suspected any of the other campers of carrying knives. "Ah... Let's focus on the race for now. I think the starting line's here." Kido led Ivy to the start and tied their legs together. He gave her a smile. "I think you have the advantage, so I'll do my best to keep up!"
