"That's a terrible joke!" Alex seemed to be gaining quickly now, right on Cammy's tail. He knew if he lost she'd never let her live it down so he tried harder.

“And yet I’m still winning!” Canny shot back, laughing. He was close to overtaking her, sure, but since when had that stopped her.

Alex pushed harder and soon they were neck and neck, "Not for much longer." He replied, trying to gain that extra few centimeters so he could win.

And that was when Cammy tripped. With the door to the bridge in sight, she managed to trip over her own feet, hitting the ground with a yelp-slash-habitual laugh, and definitely costing her the win.

Alex raced into the bridge with a tired laugh, stopping and resting his hands on his knees with a chuckle as he looked towards Cammy, “You right there?” He asked, not noticing the other paladins in the room.

“Aw man! I was so close!” Cammy complained, rolling over onto her back just outside the doorway and ignoring the pain in her ankle from the fall. Hunk and Pidge shared a look of confusion, before looking back at Alex.

Alex walked over to Cammy and offered her his hand to help her up. If she didn't want to take it, fine, but it was there if she needed, "Maybe you can beat me next time."

I never do. Cammy accepted the hand, but instead of letting him help her up, she caught him off guard, yanking him down onto the ground. “Guess we’ll see then.”

Alex landed on top of her, surprised. He braced his forearms next to her head and shook his own with a light laugh, “Stars, nice move.”

“Growing up with brothers’ll do that.” Cammy said, shooting Alex a wink. It took a moment just to register the position she’d inadvertently put them in, her cheeks flushing slightly with a color she really hoped didn’t look like anything more than exhaustion from running. Just because, you know, this was slightly awkward. That was all.

Alex smirked back. He took a moment to catch his breath again, ignoring the weird feeling in his stomach before he finally moved off of Cammy and stood, brushing himself down with a small cough.

Cammy kicked her legs back and then forward, using the momentum to pull herself up onto her feet in a surprisingly graceful move. Once standing, she made a face, twisting her leg and testing her ankle. That’s an unhappy ankle. Oh well. She knew better than to mention the terms of their race, hoping by some miracle that Alex might have spaced it for now.

Alex hadn't forgot the terms, but he wasn't going to mention it. He'd save the dare for when he really wanted to use it. He looked down at her ankle and his nose scrunched up a little, "That doesn't look good."

“That’s so rude. I know my ankles aren’t my best feature, but damn, you don’t have to point that out.” Cammy said, faking offense fairly well and pretending that was why he was commenting on her ankle. She turned, stepping into the bridge, completely unaware of the Looks she and Alex were getting. Particularly from Pidge.

“That’s not what… I didn’t… forget it.” Alex waved a hand idly before he finally, looked to the group of people who were looking at them, turning a very slight shade of pink.

Cammy didn’t seem to notice the pink in his cheeks, flirting over to plop down next to Hunk and throw her legs over lap, hiding the wince. “What’s up brositos?”

Allura crosses her arms, “We were just discussing the teams training. Where were you two?”

“Cleaning and exploring.” Cammy said, shifting to sit upside down on the couch, her legs thrown over the back now.

“And what did you find while exploring?” Pidge asked skeptically.

“I resent that insinuation.” Cammy pointed at Pidge, making a face at him. “A ballroom, room full of old stuff….and that was it. Lot of hallways.”

“Hell of a lot of hallways,” Alex mumbled.

“Well hen maybe we should give you two a map,” Shiro looked between the both of them, eyebrow raised, “So next time you go exploring you won’t get lost.”

“There are maps?” Cammy asked, tilting her head as she messed with her hair. “That woulda made it a helluva lot easier to find anything. Kinda takes the fun out of exploring though.”

(Heya I’m back!! How you been??)

Alex hummed his agreement with Cammy, “I mean we know for further reference… in case someone gets lost and we need to mark out where we’ve looked for ‘em.”

“Oh, fair point. Least we know about them now. Maybe we can even check them out for new places in the castle to go exploring.” Cammy said, brightening slightly at the idea and snapping her fingers.

((It’s been a roller coaster man, but I’m alright now. How abt you?))

(Same same)

Alex shrugged, slipping his hand into his pocket, “That actually doesn’t sound like too bad of an idea.”

“Hear that Hunk? Another point on the board for Cammy.” Cammy joked, earning her a hesitant laugh from a very confused looking Hunk. He swapped a look with Pidge, who just shrugged, and the two turned to look at Shiro.

Shiro gave them a look that meant he didn't quite know what was going on too before turning to Allura, "So, Princess, where are we headed next? Off to fight some Galra? Or making any allies?"
