I grimace, wiping a streak of crimson from my lip with the back of my hand before tightening my grip on Slow Dancer's reins. *I cough, my chest heaving as I look up at you.* A race is a race... there's no reason for you to wait for me... I'll catch up with you after I wipe up my blood! *I offer a strained, thin smile.* Don't look at me like that, you.
