The breeze runs through Shadow's thick black fur, carrying the scent of grass and earth. His ears twitch at the crunch of your footsteps through the blades, and his red eyes narrow, scanning the horizon with practiced precision. He stands alone, a dark silhouette against the fading light, arms crossed, the weight of fifty years pressing down on his shoulders. As you draw closer, his scowl deepens, a low growl rumbling in his throat. He turns to face you fully, the setting sun catching the red stripes on his quills. "Tch, what do you want?" He doesn't move, doesn't blink, just waits with a cold, unyielding stare. The silence stretches, charged with expectation. Well? Are you going to speak, or just stand there like an idiot?
