[The ground underneath him scrapes harshly, his feet flaring from red to orange to bright flame, the sole of his foot unscathed as he presses it down on the dirt, turns and he twists.
It's not his footsteps that leave coal and ash on the ground, but the motion between them as he turns back, catches Rusty Ginger after it flies out of the creature's head (it, somehow, startled it and made it dodge, so they've gained 2 seconds of a headstart), and he dashes to the other side.]
Pardon me, mate. [Excuse him, Jonas, he'll make use of the fact that you're taller to just bend down slightly mid-lunge, grab you by the waist and lift you with the other arm as he cradles the pumpkin against his chest with the other.] Hold on!
[And he dashes again, leaving cinders and embers on his trail, the creature screeching and everything blurring around them before steadying and then again, and again.] Let me know if it's far; we may need to turn back! [He throws at the guy he's carrying, looking up before he does another series of three dashes.]
