He called, almost tripping over his own two three feet. "HEY!" Deus whacked Braeden on his large furry arm in an attempt to get him to slow down. "The race hasn't even started yet!" He had to resist throwing a punch in the direction of the student's mask. The professor had simply directed them to walk in a circle, not to run.
"Relax, will you?" Amadeus muttered irritatedly, brushing himself off a bit.
But Braeden's mutant deer costume was so thick and large and heavy that the boy didn't even feel Deus whacking his arm. More like... a fly strolling through his fur or something. So it wasn't until his Ravenclaw friend began to call out that Braeden turned to the side, only to find that Deus wasn't there anymore.
Huh? Where'd he go?
And then he turned around.
There was Deus, trying to catch up as best he could and looking quite irritated. Braeden tried not to grin in amusement at his friend's frustration, but then he remembered his costume was covering his face, so he grinned anyway.
"Well we still gotta stay ahead so when the race does start, we start off in front of everyone else!" said Braeden, though he did slow down enough for his friend to catch up, at least enough so that Deus was walking along with him rather than being dragged across the ground like a rag doll.
