{ We don't sleep at night }

;; So... I might have some bad news for this blog..

I will soon be archiving this blog.

Shadow noticed Finnian’s hand trying to lash out to him and claw at him, instead of dodging it or doing something else, he quickly took a hold of the hand that was trying to claw at him, reassuringly squeezing his hand as if to try and reach him some other way. The shock and pain were surely overwhelming the poor guy.. 

If the black hedgehog had any knowledge about what had happened to the jackal, he would have come to look for him much sooner and quicker. But alas, it was only thanks to a very weird feeling in his guts that Shadow decided to go visit Finnian, to check up on him. Over the years, Shadow had learned to trust his instincts and his guts. If he felt like something was wrong, he followed that feeling, even if it proved to be wrong due to anxiety or other mental issues. Better be safe than sorry, you might say.

So this odd sensation that caused the hedgehog some nausea led him to go visit the place Finnian called his home. He needed to see the jackal was doing okay for his stomach to calm down again. Though it might be futile to visit this place, after all who knew where Finnian would be wandering around right now? He might be somewhere entirely else, visiting someone maybe. Or perhaps he found a different place to call home. For the time being, this didn’t matter. Shadow would scan the area he knew Finnian might linger in. If he wouldn’t be there, Shadow would move on to any other location Finnian was known to be found at.

But it didn’t take long for the hedgehog to realize that his instinct was right, something was definitely up. He could smell the lingering scent of blood heavily hanging in the air. From there on, it was quite easy for him to follow the smell and even easier to find the source of it soon after. And what he saw made his stomach twist and churn as he realized just what he was seeing.

`` Finnian?! ``

Shadow rushed to the wounded jackal, coming closer he realized the boulder he was laying next to was actually crushing his leg. Oh Chaos. His thoughts were racing, who would do that? And why? What did Finnian do to deserve this? Was he conscious? Would he die? His mind was panicking, and it was like Shadow’s body switched to autopilot as he lifted - or rather threw the heavy mineral off of the poor jackal, kneeling down to him afterwards. 

`` Fuck, who would.. Finn! Can you hear me? Wake up! Don’t you give up on me! ``

BUDDY. LMAO

What a lovely gift. Shadow was a sucker for such personal presents, this one was no different. He was a little baffled as he received the scarf, looking at it up and down and simply admiring the beauty of it and the soft material. He looked up at the bat, a little stunned and lost for words. So before he said anything, he put on the scarf, wrapping it around his neck and almost purring as he felt just how soft exactly the scarf was. It was sure to keep him warm.

“ A beautiful gift. Thank you, Lottie. ”

The hedgehog gently took a hold of the bat’s hand, showing his gratitude by placing a quick, yet soft kiss on the back of her hand.

“ Your gift is very appreciated. May I ask of you to wait here for a moment? There is something I had prepared for you, as well.”

But the hedgehog didn’t mind getting tackled at all, he even managed to catch little Harmony and pull her in for a quick hug as she buried her face in his - very ticklish - chest fluff, so Shadow really had to restrain himself from hysterically laughing as the young pup’s breath tickled his fur. Goodness, it was the only spot Shadow was ticklish at, and she was breathing right into it.

He made a small gesture with his hands towards Volt, signaling that it was okay for Harmony to tackle him like she did. He had a soft spot for kids and would let Harmony do whatever she would want with him, so this tackle? It was nothing. He had ‘worse’ before.

“ A gift? For me? How sweet of you. `` 

Shadow took the package from the pup’s hands and opened it. What a precious little gift..! His eyes seemed to lighten up immediately as he saw the beautiful bracelet inside, lifting that one out of the box first to further look at it. ” Oh, how pretty.. Did you make this? You got quite some talent, lil’ one. “ The hedgehog purred happily as he put on the bracelet immediately. 

Next was the construction paper card and as he took a closer look at it, Shadow couldn’t help but to let out a sweet ‘awwh!’ as he realized what the drawing was showing.
