[As if hiding would save him, after the Minotaur had already sighted them both? Hayame is tempted to leave him. It is his own fault, to be so weak, to seem to not even possess a single weapon, to shriek in terror like a woman.

Do not put that curse upon me, cur!
[And he might want to hold on, (there's a harness she wears buckled between waist and under her wider lower belly that will serve), because with the Minotaur a mere stone's throw away she heaves herself back into a full blown gallop.]
