❝Yoooo! Ain't here right now, which means I'm probably sleeping, eating, doing something I can't mention out loud, or something really awesome and attention-consuming, but whichever it is, I'm not here right now! Wait, I already said that. So yeah, do what you gotta do, which I guess is—❞

[ WHAT THE HECK. at this point he's realized that maybe this is not the love of his life that he thinks he is chasing, but he's too stubborn and the wire action is too familiar that he can't not go all the way and try to catch this guy. to confirm... though he's about 95% sure he was wrong, so maybe now it's just avoiding running from a challenge?

chat's running on rooftops and keeping slightly behind rhys, who's unfortunately had quite a head start — but he's not a superhero for nothing.

... except oh, billboards. those are billboards. there's quite a yelp of surprise before he barely managed to extend his staff to clear those boards by jumping above them, and then he's right back to chasing. ]

Hey! You're gonna have to do better than that!

[ .....

don't taunt the guy you accidentally started stalking adrien ]

[echoistic]

[yeah adrien stop being such a weird stalker!!]

Is that a challenge!?

[Rhys shouts back as he swings around another building. He's actually not quite sure how to up his game, since he doesn't typically deal with other people who do this kind of maneuvering—all of his friends back home are boring and just stick on the ground, and all.]

[ shhhh he's fine.

but ooh, there's the official challenge call. now it's certainly confirmed that this isn't ladybug, but he can't just scoot off with his tail between his legs after that. this is... oddly fun. chasing someone across rooftops is fun.

chat speeds up a bit, his staff clack clack clacking against the surfaces it hits to get a little closer to rhys. ]

More [ clack ] like a promise! [ clack ] I'll definitely catch up!

[ someone help these two. ]

But now that you mentioned it, why not a race?! Pick a goal!

[ (Ф∀Ф) ]

[echoistic]

And what are you gonna do if you catch up!?

[There is no helping these two...

One disadvantage Rhys has is that it's best for him to stick with areas that he's been in before and therefore already has a mental map of: venturing into the unknown means having to pause to update said map unless he feels like crashing into things.

As he swings, he considers his options (or as much as he can while moving at this speed, at least).]

Le'see... how 'bout the shrine!?
