Blaise laughed. "I promise," he agreed. He mirrored her pose, drawing up even with her, counting off to three.
He might have given her a half second head start, but only because Blaise was attempting to actually be fair, and not jump the count. In a real competition, Blaise might have skirted close to the rules. (He wasn't an out and out cheat, but Blaise firmly believed in working the system in your own favor whenever possible.) But this was just for fun, and he gave up thinking about matters of I.S. and the Carrows in favor of simply flying with someone friendly, for a little while, putting on speed to race her for the end of the Pitch.
