[ his movements are slow, but not deceptively so. mae's learned to read a potential threat's body language well enough (—except, you know) that she can easily write him off as a non-threat for the moment. but when he starts to his full height like he means to say something with it, she dials her security back a bit and settles him right back into the category of unknown.
she stands, too. not much to say still being under 5'5" even with those added heels, but she tips her chin back and rounds out her shoulders like she could figure out a way to take him down if she wanted to. if she had to.
(with one foot angled just so in case breaking into a run would be the better option. always.) ]
You failed once and that was enough?
[ maybe there's nothing much to boast about here; why, yes, i fail all the time but i get right back up again don't i? not exactly impressive, when it's laid out like that.
maybe he's got a point. maybe she needs to change it up a little. find the variables.
glancing around, she finds the area between two sloping branches that had marked her last attempt's farthest point. her hand flexes at her side. ]
