Ahnasha couldn't help but to chuckle at Fendros' fall, though she was glad he seemed to be playing along. As he got up, she remained where she was, crossing her arms over her chest and waiting for him to approach. She did nothing as he ran at her and tagged her head, instead waiting and giving him a mischievous smile after she became "it."
"I'll count to five. One, two, three..." She began, her smirk growing with every number.

Khajiit parkour, for the win.
I am currently imagining Fendros going through a Rocky style training montage with everyone.

"Oh, no reason. I just thought I would bring up a little game you probably played as a child." Ahnasha responded, chuckling to herself as she stopped in front of him and slowly extended her hand and poked his shoulder.
"You're it." She said with a laugh before taking off in the same general direction as their destination, running with the impressive speed one would expect from an agile Khajiit. She dodged and weaved between trees and jumped over fallen logs and other obstacles like a professional, though she made sure to glance back and make sure Fendros was at least keeping up. Her entire melee fighting style revolved around quick movements and acrobatics, so she was well practiced in running, and any movement that required quick reactions. Khajiit had a natural advantage in such things, but it was really her constant practice that gave her such abilities. Ahnasha ran miles every single day, followed by archery practice and meditation, mostly on illusion magic. She also made sure to practice her acrobatics on her runs, a fact that was evidenced by her effortless movements through the dense forest. Eventually, once she had gone far enough, she spotted a tree that had split down the middle and had grown in two separate directions. Seeing an opportunity, she directed herself at the tree and practically ran up the middle of it to its branches. She continued on, leaping between a few trees to display her balance before finally stopping above Fendros. Using her legs to hold on to the branch, she dropped down and hung upside down from the tree, her face directly in front of Fendros, giving him a satisfied smile. Part of the reason went through that entire show was to demonstrate how they could be lighthearted and friendly, but it was mostly just because she wanted to show off.

"My brother took me out hunting for the first time, but as I said, he was never really into it. I also had a few friends around the city that would go along with me sometimes, but...they were terrible. I was more worried about them hitting me than anything else. Eventually, I just started going out on my own, but that suited me just fine. I borrowed my brother's bow until I could afford my own, then I just learned to summon one once I got into magic. A useful skill, that. It is so much easier to maneuver if you do not have to worry about carrying something so long and bulky as a bow. It makes acrobatics much easier as well." Ahnasha replied, a grin coming over her face as a thought popped into her mind. "Tell me, how quick would you say you are? Are you light on your feet?"
I posted.
It was a rather nice day outside, especially once they got away from the crowded interstates and onto the smaller roads. Sam was driving his closest friend, Stevie, to the forest south of Fairfax, to their usual spot for when they wanted to get away from the city. They tended to avoid the common tourist trails and instead went to more secluded areas. Both of them were rather fond of nature, so hikes such as these were fairly common for them.
Sam had known Stevie for most of his life, as they were childhood friends. It was a relief to him when he learned she was attending the same college as himself, and that she was willing to be his roommate, both because it meant he would be able to split the substantial costs of living alone, and because he wouldn't have to say his goodbyes to her. For obvious reasons, they had been spending a lot more time together since moving to Fairfax, so they were even closer now than before. He would be lying to himself if he didn't admit he felt something...more for her, but he had not yet said anything about it, mostly because of his own fears.
Sam smiled and glanced over to Stevie, though he quickly shifted his attention back to the road. "So, where shall we go today? I doubt we will find anything as exciting as that fox we saw last time, but still. If we keep a good pace, we could make it to the river to the far side of the forest, or we could just head off in a random direction."

Alright, I will start on it in a moment.
Do you want to begin, or shall I?
Never mind, it's fixed.
Ahnasha nodded. "Yes, an older brother. He found more interest in the family business than hunting, though. I wouldn't say we didn't get along, we just had nothing in common. Still, I am grateful to him, in a way. Were it not for him, my parents probably would have stopped me from going off on my own into the wilds so much. As long as he was there to learn their trade, it mattered little what I did. I gave them all of the pelts I collected for free; I cared little about gold. Still don't."
The Khajiit smiled, thinking back fondly on some of her old memories. "I still remember those times, when I was out of the city. Even when I wasn't hunting, I loved every minute of it. I remember laying down by the water in the forest, closing my eyes and taking in all the sounds and scents around me. I remember listening to the songbirds chirp away around me while I took in the sweet scents of the flowerbed I was laying in. Sometimes I would chase around dragonflies, or see how long I could hold my breath at the bottom of a pond. It was simple pleasure, and I didn't have a care in the world. With my hunting skill, I could have survived in the wilds even as a cub. Then, I would return home only to hear my parents bicker over gold or business deals. Over time, I started to wonder...is it all even worth it? I mean, these 'civilized' people spend their entire lives worrying about gold and work and all that, and for what? A bigger house? More stuff? What does all of that even really mean in the end? Nature persists far beyond the works of man or mer, and unlike these civilizations, it is already in its own state of perfection. Why spend years working towards nothing when you can live every day for yourself, and your brothers and sisters. And you know what? All those things that I used to do that would make me so happy...I still do them now. There is no one to stop me or judge me. I mean, can you really say the same thing? Can you say you still do all the things you love to do without fear of being judged by 'society'?"
