Well, Gabriel certainly had cause to be cocky about how he would do in the race. Casey blinked, watched the other zoom by, then tried to put more of a sprint in their step. It likely wouldn't work in the end, not with Gabriel teasing and talking through the race like he was, but that was fine. Casey wasn't in this to show off like that. Considering they weren't trying to show off and run backwards or stop focusing on where they were going, at least Casey was doing better at ducking and weaving.

"Loser has to buy it, too?" If a bet was going to be made, then of course it wouldn't be half-assed. Casey would see it through to the end, even if they were almost definitely going to lose the race.
