[He barely manages to stay on his feet when they slam into each other, but it's okay because that means she got away. A hasty grip on her forearms is what prevents him from falling, but it's also the quickest affirmation he can give her.

She takes off, and he follows right beside her. He doesn't even hesitate when he sees the drop. His only thought is that he'll probably sprain his ankle when he lands. Then he jumps anyway.
He's hoping to land first and catch her when she leaps, but if she doesn't wait for him, she'll probably just land on top of him anyway. Win-win.]
