[Cat-Eyed Boy knows about running, so he's able to keep a pretty steady pace, even on all fours. He's tempted to say something back, but decides keeping his path on the stairway straight is more important right now. He darts a bit to the side occasionally, hoping that even if the hound pounces it'll overshoot or go by him.]

[It's a good thing for the Cat-Eyed Boy that he darts. There's a moment when he's closing on one of the openings above that John lunges forward. One of his paws slaps down where the boy had been just moments before. The hound snarls in frustration. The light is just out of his reach and it's infuriating.]

Stay still!

[He doesn't recover fast enough from the leap, unfortunately. If the Cat-Eyed Boy takes advantage of the distraction, he'll be home free.]

So you can take whatever "my light" is? I don't think so! [He grins when the hound stumbles and lunges for the escape. He clings there for a moment before clambering out of reach.] So~rry, you were too slow! [He'll stick out his tongue one last time before running away.]

[The sounds of ferocious barking and the scrabbling of claws are the only things that follow him.]
