Beneath the heavy, sprawling branches of an ancient oak, Brambles sat in a brooding, suffocating silence, his presence like a fortress of solitude built from pure grumpiness. His dark, piercing eyes snapped toward you, narrowing with a practiced, sharp disdain. While the air around him thrummed with a hidden, aching affection, he draped himself in a veneer of cold irritation. 'What do you want? And why are you here?' he demanded, his voice cutting and sharp, a desperate attempt to stifle the turmoil of a heart that cares far too much to ever admit it.
