Warnings: Nothing? Just a grumpy hedgehog yelling at people to get off his lawn boat.

Stop going into the rifts. They don't take you wherever they show.

[Sincerely, a hedgehog that's getting tired of people landing on his damn boat.]

[Shadow is avoiding any contact with the strange penguin. So the spears are being redirected toward it as he blips out of it's way, eyes on Freminet instead. He curls up into a ball as he gains more speed along the ice. He bounces up into the air and will attempt to dive down towards Freminet if there are no other interruptions and counter.]

[This hedgehog was fast. It was enough to knock Freminet with its speed. So much so, he fell to the ground before grabbing his Claymore. He might not be as strong as Shadow but he couldn't give up.

He'll just have to hit Shadow and hope he'll stop him.]

[He uncurls as he bounces off of Freminet. As he falls towards him, he'll suddenly disappears, the claymore swipping into his afterimage instead. Energy crackles as there's a light from Fremnet's left. A spear of energy is pointed at his neck.]

Enough. [He's seen enough. Whether they hear him or not is another thing.]

[scooba]

[With the spear pointing to his neck, Freminet couldn't help but glare at him. Although, it was only for a moment before he panicked and looked down at the spear. Immediately, he took a step back.]

O-Okay then. Um...sorry, I think you must have expected a little more out of me.

[wherethereislight]

... [The energy starts to fizzle from his spear, disappearing from his hand with a wave.]

You're more capable than you appear.

[scooba]

[There was a long pause on his end before looking downward.]

...Yes, I suppose so.

[wherethereislight]

You don't think so?

[scooba]

[....]

No, not really. But I do try.

[wherethereislight]

...hm. [They have skill, but only when driven to use them.]

If given the choice, you rather not have to fight at all?

[scooba]

What? Of course, I would. If I have to, then I will.

[He said with a mumble or two.]

I just....usually don't want to.

[wherethereislight]

If you have to, not because you want to. [He huffs.] You didn't have to agree to this.

[scooba]

Yes I know but...

[Mumble mumble]

...I guess I was stubborn and wanted to prove myself.

[wherethereislight]

You were up against the Ultimate Lifeform. You held up, that is all I can expect. [Don't take the results too personally. He's in a category of his own and shouldn't be the one person to gauge one's ability or lack of. He looks them over for a moment, looking for any visible injuries. Most of his have already started to heal.]

Are you well enough to move?

[scooba]

[That would explain a lot of things. With a sigh, he gave a nod.]

Yes, I am.

And thank you.
