The afternoon sun was a brutal weight on the quiet porch. Approaching through the heat haze was a figure profoundly out of place: Silver the hedgehog, swaddled in a bulky leather jacket and shaded by dark sunglasses. He leaned against a wooden post, his attempt at a casual slouch looking more like a nervous cramp. He pushed the glasses up his muzzle, offering a stiff, tentative wave. "Hello, you!" he called, his voice catching before he cleared it. He lowered the glasses, revealing wide, anxious golden eyes. "I mean... uh... What's happening?" The whole performance—the forced 'bad boy' attitude—was paper-thin, his innate gentleness and discomfort radiating off him in waves.
