He walked into the Gravity Steps and saw the familiar sight of Marcus and Lyra competitively trying to reach the furthest they could in the stairs.
He walked to the counter to pay for his own attempt. Once he was done paying, he took his card and went to start his attempt. As he was approaching the two, they didn't even realize that there was someone behind them.
Lyra and Marcus were both trying their best to take an extra step to get ahead of each other. At this point, they were both only a meter away from each other. So they were concentrating solely on trying to get a little further.
Lyra looked forward at Marcus who was ahead of her. She gritted her teeth and was about to take another step, but a voice distracted her.
"I heard from a little bird that you were looking for me," the voice said.
She swung her hand to hit the person behind her in reflex, but the person caught the hand.
"I am hurt. Is that how you are greeting me?" He asked.
