Aya had stopped talking as the need to breath properly emerged, but she gave him a cheerful wave when he headed off. She was competitive, yes, but she was also realistic! No way in hell was she taking a lead position and holding it! She hadn't needed to drop to a walk yet by the time they passed the quarter marker! That was something!

And watching Dilan jockeying up ahead was also fun! Did her erstwhile jogging partner realize he was edging up on people like their own shadows? It was hilarious!
