Liliana stared down the hallway. Sweat dripped from his face, and his muscles screamed in tired agony. The past several hours of the man's life had been spent in a constant state of anxiety, as he exerted all of his strength, skill, and fitness in an attempt to evade his most dastardly of pursuers. The time had sharpened his mind, he felt. Perhaps now he was invincible?!
'Did I lose him? I don't know how much more of this my body can take. If only I can have the time to recover my strength. Perhaps if I attempt to draw my power inwards, as I was once trained... Well, okay, as I once saw on T.V.'
The merchant pauses, looks around, then begins to focus. His eyes shut tightly, he brings his arms down to his sides briefly. Then, almost of their own volition, they rise to a 'curl' position, and his mouth opens in a cry.
"Hyaaaaaaaaaaa..."
Veins flex, and his arms seem to strain despite their lack of movement.
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..."
The muscles in Liliana's throat lock, and the Adam's Apple in his neck stands out in stark contract against the taut cords of his musculature.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... WHAT?!?!"
At a familiar sound of clicking against the metal, Lilana's eyes flash open, as he looks about in desperation.
It appears...
OH NO! He's found me!
"... Rrrrrr... Arf!" Gunther barked with satisfaction. The odd game of hide-and-seek now concluded, he jumped into his master's strangely-outstretched arms.
'Damn, guess that means I owe him an extra treat. Maybe standing around and yelling at nothing in particular isn't the most effective way to train.
Oh well, live and learn!'
