>>41122612 >>41122617 >And so the chase began anew. >While the guards had to chase him on the ground, Victoria launches herself to the roof as well be creating a pillar of ice under herself and having it push her up to the roof.
>This had gone from an easy day to an annoying one, and she was going to make Patrick pay when she caught him again.
>Landing on the roof of the garrison, she gives chase to the fire mage the second time this week.

>>41122699 >The other footsteps on the roof were definitely the General's. It sucked that he'd have to run from her in his current state, but he had the advantage of being around 10 meters ahead. It'd by him at least a second or two to make snap decisions, rather than having her right on his heels.
>First problem; how to get off the roof without hurting himself. The drop was just over two floors onto hard pavement. She'd have an easy time of it, being able to form an ice slide down, but he wasn't so fortunate as to have a form-creating element. Damn it..! If he'd had the power he used to control, he might've been able to fly out if he handled it right, but now he just didn't trust his ability to focus that hard while escaping.
>Well, if jumping off of this side seemed like a bad idea, he'd just have to find out what was close by! There were a few buildings scattered around, maybe one was close enough, or he'd spot something else. With a mad dash, he veered right and started to head around the corner of the building, putting more distance between himself and Victoria as his broken boots clacked on top of the tiles.

>>41122717 Stop now while I consider not braking your legs when I catch you!!
>Oooh she'll probably do more then that to him for this hassle. >As the two of them run a siren starts to blare in the garrison and everything around it becomes like an ant hill under attack. With many many many more soldiers scrambling to keep up with the run away prisoner.

>>41122758 Sorry General, but I've got a dream, and when a man's got a dream he's not gonna spend his time locked away in a cage!
>She was gaining on him. He had to jump soon, or she'd catch him and he'd go back to square one. No, not even square one, square zero, because boy oh boy she did not sound pleased one bit.
>But that just made his grin all the wider.
>Coming up to the other side of the roof, he looked over the side to see...

>>41122770 Crap..!
>Once more around the corner he ran, hoping to whatever God they probably wanted him to believe in that there wasn't trouble at the back of the building!

We'll see about that!!!
>Watching him abruptly change direction, she knew he was looking for a way to get out of the Garrison. She had to move fast before he did and it'd be all the harder to get him.

>>41124486 >Score! It didn't really matter whose garden this was, it was big enough and had enough cushioning to prevent him from taking a hard smash upon landing. Now he'd just have to aim his jump!
>With a sprinting start, Patrick held no hesitation as he kicked of the roof tiles and flew into the air. Hopefully he'd land in one of those softer bushes and get right back into the sprint, but there were some nasty look brambles down there, too..!
>Regardless of the result, midway through the air he takes a look across at Victoria, giving her a half-salute and a single-word shout.

>>41124487 >>41124489 >Damn it! He's a daring little shit! >Watching him take the leap into a garden she knows that for herself it'd be too risky to do the same even if she could keep close to him.
Shit!
>She's forced to make a stable ice path to cross giving Patrick the chance to gain more of a lead.
>The fire mage meanwhile surprised a gardener working close to where he landed and she was quite distressed at the mage for using the plants as a landing pad.

>>41124511 Sorry about that!
>Even as he said that, he couldn't stop grinning. Looking at the General's frustrated face as she struggled to follow was the absolute best thing he'd experienced in the past week. Still, she was giving chase, so he'd just have to keep running and find a way out of this garden.

It's ok it's ok! Mommy's here!
Smile while you have teeth left you cheeky prick...
>Yeah, she was gonna beak his legs after this. Or at least something equally as painful. >but at least she can cross into the garden without risking a fall.

>>41124523 >The garden wouldn't last forever, sooner or later he'd have to get over the fence. For now though, he had to close that distance. Whether or not such an obstacle would stop his pursuer would have to be seen, but if he could slip out of here and get into the streets...

>>41124722 >There was the gate, just down that winding cobbled path! It was a really well-kept garden, the grass trimmed to perfection next to the path, a shame he was ruining it with his broken boots but hey, his needs meant more than theirs right now!
>It was one last push down the path towards the fence to see how far he could get ahead, or whether she'd start catching up..!

>>41124888 >Was she slowing down? She was slowing down! Did that mean he won? Was he winning? He couldn't tell, and that was exciting! It was dangerous, scary and definitely bad for his health, but it had been a while since he'd ever had something even close to a real chase.
>This was an adventure!
>But that adventure would end if he couldn't get over this fast-approaching fence, and it was a tall fence, with spikes on the top. He could climb the gate, it'd be a lot safer, but he'd lose quite a bit of time and she might just shoot ice at him. No, he'd have to give it another shot. Besides, his boots were already wrecked.
>It was going to take a fair bit of power to jump this thing, but better to try it than not! With another larger burst of flame from both feet, he makes another risky leap...!
