[There's a moment of satisfaction as Kara goes into a tumble; Carpet has always been acrobatic, after all. Tight turns are pretty easy! Especially when you don't have preconceived notions of which end should be up, down, forward, or back. Not having a head or obeying gravity on a regular basis helps with that quite a bit, to be honest.
The lead he earns from that doesn't last long, though. Carpet waves in return, and tries to will himself to catch up again--but there's just no more room to increase right now. He's already going at his upper limit. He can't even be mad, though--how often does he get to put himself through his paces like this with an all-out sprint? Hardly anyone ever needs him to go this fast!]
