[ injury ] sender cleans receiver's wound and patches it up (Harmony knows some first aid)

"While I certainly appreciate the thought, Harmony. I technically regenerate so I heal quite quickly... something this small wouldn't take very long." Umbra said, though he didn't remove his arm from her grip as she tended to the long claw marks that while not terribly deep, still marred some of his forearms, the other having a matching set from when he'd put them up to block the blow that had been more aimed for the head and shoulders down to his torso.

Itty bitty hedgehog, meet toddler werehog. Gibbous is going to give him a sniff and then pap him on the head with a paw. That’s how you initiate play, right?

Umbra certainly doesn't know if it is or not, and he's not expecting to meet... he's not sure what gibbous is, actually! The other didn't look quite like a hedgehog, or any other Mobian he had been studying diagrams of to get an idea of his own anatomy and other Mobian's anatomy.

"...Hi?" His voice is slightly squeaky, the hoglet making a small huff at the pap on his head ruffling up his quills.

"...What are you?" Umbra asked, blunt even as he tried his best to be polite, one of his droopy ears flopping downward as his head tilted and his brows shifted into a questioning, confused sort of look.

My  muse  catches  your  muse  staring  and  smirks,  tilting  their  head.  “See  something  you  like?”

((Volt is this cheeky and would say it to Umbra if he caught him looking))

He hadn't exactly meant to be staring, clearing his throat as he looked to the side as his muzzle tints a very faint green-gold color, which stands out plain as day on the skin since it's such a different color from the darker tone of skin his muzzle had.

"...Don't be so cheeky, Volt." Umbra mumbled, ears folding back slightly as the inner sides of them, matching his muzzle, have a slight tint to them as well as he's flushed.

"...You have nice fur... both in the volume and the coloration of it. So... maybe." As far as Umbra went, that was pretty much a 'yes', if admitted as his muzzle and the tops of his ears turned even more vibrant in shade of the green-gold of his blush.

“Ya know. Most people get the fire started before they sit in the snow t’ look at the stars.” Volt’s amused tone carried in the quiet that came with freshly fallen snow. The clouds had cleared from the sky, giving clear view of the expansive stars above. One hand reached over to the logs inside the pit, releasing a spark that raced throughout and caught flame. It would take time to build up to a decent fire, but it was enough.

Now he felt comfortable enough to take a seat next to the other.

"I suppose, I just felt the urge to look up. And I went with it."

Umbra speaks back to Volt at the amused tone, briefly looking to where he builds the start of a fire before turning to peer back up at the stars in the sky, his quills are lightly frosted and powdered with the pearly white snow.

The patches are stark against his ebony black quills, though he doesn't seem to mind the state of them for once and doesn't seem to notice the cold that comes with him.

"I'm usually perfectly warm from all the chaos energy inside… I've never really thought about it much."
