you said you like tight quarters, right?

Uruk followed Xurek into the cavern, his muscles tense as the walls seemed to close in around him. The sound of rain pounding against the earth outside was quickly muffled by the heavy silence of the underground, and his discomfort grew with every step. The tight, confining space pressed down on him, his breath growing shallow as the air felt thicker and the darkness more suffocating.

As the eerie glow from the phosphorescent mushrooms began to illuminate the cavern, Uruk forced himself to focus on the light, trying to push aside the gnawing anxiety clawing at his mind. Xurek's voice echoed in the enclosed space, but Uruk barely heard him, his senses honed in on the oppressive closeness of the walls and the feeling of being trapped.

The sudden hiss from the darkness snapped Uruk back to the present, his ears pinning back as he glared toward the sound. The glow cast long, flickering shadows, and the sight of a massive snake slithering closer made his skin crawl. Claustrophobia and exhaustion mixed with rising anger; Uruk slammed his front hooves on the ground, his instincts getting the better of him as he challenged this snake. "Nothing to eat, nowhere to move, only more threats!" he complained, clearly over these caverns already.

With a deep breath, Uruk shifted his weight, preparing to charge as he lowered his head and readied his horn to strike. "Let's deal with this quickly, and get out of here as soon as the rain lets up," he growled, eager to leave these walls already.
