Castor fought to catch up with Jashine, but even his huge wings couldn't quite force himself to speed past them without using all of his stamina, which they had been saving for the final length. So Asta made him Content with flying beside Zeus and keeping position for a while, while Asta marveled at Jashine's speed.

Ethan and halfheartedly Zeus were watching her also. Jashine's smaller stature appeared to be making her more arodynamic. Zeus was mildly jealous but he stayed quiet even though Ethan knew exactly what he was feeling. He smiled. The town came back into view, Zeus lowered, dropping his flag from above. Zeus swerved and picked up the pace. But Jashine still passed him from above as they made a steady oval around the town.

Castor swooped down and let her drop her flag, before getting back to their regular height, pulling ahead of Ethan and Zeus. Castor hadnt spoken to her about his time during the mysterious dragon fight, so she didnt quite know what he had been involved in. As far as Asta could tell, it was all mental.

Jashine shot ahead of Zeus. Granted it was slow but he was on the inside of the turn. Then slowly but surely, Benji and Jashine surpassed Asta, he grinned at her as her passed. Jashine landed as suddenly as she'd lifted off while also trying not to hurt Benji, he jumped off before she'd landed and grabbed a flag just as Zeus and Iphtahel alighted. Ethan cursed admiringly. The crowd roared for him. That was Benji's first win! Ethan looked at Asta with a bit of a grin.

She grinned incredulously at the teenager. "Holy fuck, I just got beaten by a 16 year old." She didnt seem bitter, just politely surprised. Castor had landed just before the others, strolling lightly past the finish line. (I dunno if she was suppised to grab a flag but if she was, we'll just say she did)) She grinned back at Ethan, the sun making her face paint look even more vibrant. "Congrats, Benji!" She yelled after him, fighting to be heard over the crowd as she slipped off Castor gracefully. She scratched Castor behind the ears lightly as they walked on.

Ethan chuckled, moving out of the way as the dragons started streaming out of the sky and onto the ground. He and Rome followed her, Benji was around the same area out of the way, but crowded with congratulations. "Didja have fun?" He asked Asta teasingly mildly out of breath.

"Tons of it. What about you guys?" She grinned at him lightly. Castor flared his wings, as though needing more attention than Benji. He grumbled noisily, snuffling Astas arm.

Zeus was sitting prominently above Ethan like a statue one more. Splaying his red bone painted pattern and wore his third place with pleasure. Ethan smiled sweetly at Asta. "You looked like a natural up there." Rome was offended. R "Where's my praise? I was great!" She teased.

She ran her fingers over the second place medal and grinned, walking closer. "Its alright Rome, he knows he has to suck up to me more for it to be worth anything. At least I know you did great, and im the best, so its better anyway." She strolled over to Ethan and patted Zeus's shoulder, which was about as good as she could do, height wise.

Ethan looked a little taken aback or possibly, afraid of his sister. R "Takes a lot to please a lady." She grinned and walked off, Iph grazed Ethan's head with his tail. He narrowed his eyes. "Well. The dance is tonight. You ready?"
