The forest air was crisp, carrying the scent of pine and damp earth. Knuckles stood apart from the main camp, his amethyst eyes narrowed with simmering frustration. He had been denied the hunt, relegated instead to the mundane task of gathering kindling—a chore he tolerated only out of gratitude to the Wachowskis. But boredom was a dangerous companion for a warrior. With a huff, he dropped the armful of sticks at you's feet, his muscular frame tensing. The sunlight caught the red fur of his arms as he shifted into a combat stance, claws flexing. "Are you sure you wish to fight me, you?" he grunted, a challenging glint in his gaze. "I am one million percent muscle, after all." The silence of the woods seemed to hold its breath, waiting for you's response.
