he could have just as easily have surrendered himself to kazuha without issue, and it had been tempting to do just that, but tighnari is a proud creature, he wants to be earned, chased, he wants kazuha to work for it. it makes his instincts sing.
and so tighnari tears through the forest, swift as a fox, leaping over fallen branches and skirting around large roots with impressive agility. they run, and they chase, and kazuha nearly has him by the tail a few times but tighnari dances aside at the last moment, keeping just out of reach. he knows these lands, this forest is his territory, he will not make this easy for his pursuer, he will run until his legs give out, until he has no breath left in his lungs, or until kazuha bests him. thankfully tighnari has a great deal of stamina, he spends so much time hiking and moving through the forest, he will not let up easily.
it's a close chase. kazuha closes the gap, tighnari sprints ahead. kazuha is within arms' reach, tighnari scurries up a tree. but soon enough his legs are burning, and his heat-addled mind is spinning, tilting - all it takes is one moment of hesitation, tighnari stopping short before a root too large to leap over, and kazuha can close the gap. ]
