Rioku watched Ivory with critical, narrowed eyes, as the ravenclaw sped towards the goal posts. As she dunked, Rioku winced, and shot forward a few feet to catch her, just in case. But Ivory pulled out of it okay, and when she turned back to Rioku, she applauded.
"Nice. I'm not much for jumping off, too much can go wrong with that when you're...fifty feet in the air?" she said dryly, but the Slytherin was grinning. She dove down, catching the quaffle before it hit the ground and picking up Shade as well. The fox squealed, then went rigid as she rose off the field.
He howled, and Rioku rolled her eyes before returning him to the ground. Then, she looked with eyes gleaming with mischief at the twins.
"Hey Onyx! Catch me if you can!" she shouted, shooting past her.

Ivory smiled and laughed with glee at Rioku's approval. She hadn't much time to respond, though, when it was her sister's attention that was demanded. Ivory dropped to the ground to console the slightly trembling fox, gratefully on the ground.
Onyx had been watching disconnectedly, but she snapped back to reality when she heard her name. The older Slytherin flashing past nearly unseated her from surprise, and by the time she processed what had happened, she was very far behind. Her competitiveness had been challenged, however, and with a flash of the eyes the chase was on.
Onyx lay low, flattening herself with her nose nearly to her broom handle for aerodynamics. She pelted forward, eyes watering, accelerating steadily. Her prey was coming closer and closer, but the deficit was still great. Onyx threw in a roll just for style then, with a slight grunt, pushed her broom and herself as fast as they could go.
"I'm coming, Rioku -- are you going to start going fast soon?"
The Twins are back, but kind of on rapture notice--this whole "having a life off-line" thing is complicated.
Rioku grinned and kicked it into high speed, shooting further ahead when Onyx had drawn up alongside her. The taunt fell on deaf ears as Rioku suddenly pulled back, letting the darker twin go straight past her. Then, the Slytherin backtracked, only to find Ivory not so far away.

Onyx was in shock. She hadn't realized a broom and rider could go so fast! She and her Silverdart were at their limit, and Rioku was still pulling ahead, as though it were nothing! Onyx, lost in wonder, nearly didn't notice Rioku pealing off from her headlong course. Onyx rushed forward, finally noticing Rioku's motion and watching it idly--still barreling toward the golden goal posts at the opposite end of the quidditch pitch. She drew her eyes back to the front just in time for them to nearly pop out of her head in fright as her broom hurtled her straight toward the center goal hoop, which was mere feet away. Onyx flinched and wrapped herself as tightly as possible around her broom, compressing her slight figure as though trying to get inside the slim flying instrument. Thus arranged, to her own extreme amazement an Ivory's excited amusement, Onyx slipped through the goal post like a well-aimed Quaffle.
From her end of the field, Ivory cheered wildly, nearly throwing herself off her broom with all her clapping, waving, and slapping Rioku excitedly on the shoulder, as though her favorite team had just won the World Cup.
"What a trick, Onyx! What a show! Whoo! You'll have to teach me that one, that was awesome!"
