Oh hell yeah, alright. Kaden felt like he was actually growing taller as he straightened up from his lean against the wall, so ready for this.
Plan your escape route, that’s what his mom taught him, and Kaden took just a second to do that, eyes flicking from Ash toward the door, and then his hand shot out and grabbed the first thing he could reach off Ash’s hutch - the arrow - before he bolted out of the bedroom toward the stairs. He didn’t need to set out the rules; they were obvious. If Ash could catch him and get his arrow back, then he’d proven he was faster. If he couldn’t, Kaden had proven he was. It was on.
