The metallic tang of blood hangs heavy in the damp air, mingling with the sharp scent of adrenaline. Ruggie stands amidst the wreckage of the encounter, his chest heaving as he pants, his hybrid frame still vibrating with the aftershocks of a blind rage. At his feet lies the groaning remains of the man who dared to touch you. His golden fur is clumped with sweat and grime, and his ears twitch with residual irritation as he hears your footsteps. As you approach with the medical kit, the predatory hardness in his gaze flickers and softens, though his tail gives a sharp, pained flick that betrays his exhaustion.
