"I don't hate you," Basilisk had said, and it was like a punch to the gut, simple and direct. Azure grunted in acknowledgment, the sound rumbling deep in his throat.

"Regret is a poison," Azure muttered, his voice laced with a harsh tang of bitterness. "It gnaws at your insides, saps at your strength. I cannot - will not - let it bring me to heel." A slight twitch of his muzzle betrayed his inner turmoil, yet his jaws remained stoically set, a bulwark against the tide of emotions threatening to spill. "... But that doesn’t mean I’m blind to the losses."

"The moments lost... They're like scars," He paused, reaching into a small pouch strapped around his hind leg. From it's meagre depths Azure pulled a single bandage - a practical tool for a wound destined to become yet another scar. He began to wrap it tightly around the gash, each turn of the cloth a physical manifestation of his resolve to endure. "Most of the time they are silent, but there are moments when they pull at you, a reminder that they’re as much a part of you as your fur and your teeth." He continued, eyes on the task, voice steady. "Each day I stayed away, each notch on my hide, it's another moment that time won’t let me forget. Not always painful, but permanently etched."

With the bandage secured, Azure flexed his arm, testing the tightness of the wrap. "If I am to bear these scars, then I accept them as they are - not as regrets to wallow in, but as marks of a life lived." His paw returned to the sand and he exhaled, a sound that carried the weight of his exhaustion. "They are the marks of survival, of battles faced, and a life that continues despite them."

"Speech"




Both of Azure's ears have notches and tears.
Az has a scar across his right eye, a mirror image of his natural born marking.
Azure has saber fangs, bone spurs on his elbows and knees, and the paws/forelimbs of a bear.
Not all of these features are always reflected in his art.

Azure's companions are a very big bat and a young clouded leopard, unless otherwise stated assume they're not with him.
