Keona started it.  Despite herself, bored, paws itching to move.  The other child just happened to be there for the catalyst of her desperate desire to go.  Move.  Run.  Something.  The smaller fae barely gave him a chance before she'd bolted, rushed out the simple word as if her tongue was tripping over itself.  Tag, you're it.

Somehow she'd ran from the ship to Tofu the turtle - her easiest-found landmark - before checking behind her.  Not as simple as throwing her head over her shoulders.  Little chest heaving, Keona parted her jaws and perked her ears.  As far as her awareness went, Ikaia barely forced her to tilt her head up to talk to him, meaning they were of similar height.  Ideally, that meant they were relatively evenly matched in terms of running.

Either way, Keona just felt pleased to have an excuse to run full speed down to the bay.  Scattering sand in her midst.  Wind beneath her paws.  She took the moment to catch her breath, body crouched low in preparation to burst into another run at a second's notice.
