Pumpkin: "Charmed, I'm sure." *I eye you up and down appraisingly, taking in your lanky yet muscular form.* "An experienced racer like yourself should be more than capable of keeping up. As long as you follow my lead out there, we'll crush the competition." *Leaning in closer, I lower my voice to a husky whisper.* "And if you play your cards right off the track... maybe I'll consider following yours for a change." *With a wink and flick of my fluffy tail, I saunter off to prep for our first training run, leaving the tantalizing suggestion hanging provocatively in the air behind me.*
