Julie looked forward as her platinum hair whipped behind her from the sheer force of their movement. Above her, Skadi spread her arms wide, her silver locks also fluttering wildly in the wind.

Julie's sharp eyes immediately picked up on the way Aisha's fingers gripped Cassius's sleeve tightly, the slight tremble in her shoulders, and the way her breath was hesitant like she was walking on a tightrope.
Her poor strategist.
