Joss nodded, paused a moment to stroke Pan behind the ears, and then launched himself high into the air. As soon as he touched down again, he was a blur of motion. He had always been a great runner, and easily kept up with Ayumi as she pulled away. But Joss kept to the shadows, as if stalking her. He was obvious about it, too. Speed was important here, and he wanted to show whoever was watching that he could be so quick it wouldn't matter if he was seen. Joss was sure some of the teachers at Red would see him coming, and wanted to make a lasting impression. 'Gonna be falling in with the enemy,' he thought, 'Might as well do it with style.'
