Bayani's compliment took Sara by surprise and she missed her next bounding leap off the next tree. Instead, she caught her foot on the root and went tumbling onto the forest floor. If someone could fall gracefully, it was the werefox girl. She fell and rolled, leaves and sticks catching at her clothes as she came to a stop.
"Ouch!" The embarrassment she felt quickly turned into a burst of laughter. Sara had always been able to laugh at herself.
"You did that on purpose!" She accused with a giggle, pulling her scuffed leg up to inspect the long scratch. Sara was grinning, hoping the blush could be mistaken for the rush of running and the chilly wind on her face. "Owwwww" she hissed, brushing dirt out of the cut.
