I don't smell anything else, just faded scents from people and other things passing a long time ago. So maybe we'll get lucky this time! With that said, Beltain took off at a full run, only having been trotting at first. Unless Yura was a fast runner, she was soon left behind as Beltain gained a good yard or so of distance.
In her haste, Beltain failed to notice a rabbit hole until one of her paws landed in it. Her momentum carried her forward, and she ended up falling on her face, her back end pushing her over again, causing her to roll. Her paw was yanked painfully from the rabbit hole, causing a minor strain, but she was unable to stop her momentum, and ended up rolling into a blackberry bush, nose first.
Yelping in pain, Beltain managed to extract herself, squished berries coating her fur to mix with the blood brought on by the tiny, razor sharp thorns smothering the vines. Limping on her strained leg, she retreated a good few feet away from the bush, running her forelegs over her face to make sure no thorns were stuck in her flesh. Almost growling with the pain, her entire face felt like it was on fire and she wondered if changing back to her human form would alleviate the pain.
