Fuck. Well, the thing in the forest certainly was large, and now it seemed angry. Or, at the very least, looking for some kind of fight. As the low hiss was thrown out in his direction, Michael's ears pinned back, mismatched blue eyes glistening as he responded with his own hiss of displeasure, "This ain't a good idea, friend. These aren't your lands, even if you'd like to think that they are, sorry." The earth was still thrumming beneath his feet, just waiting for him to call upon it. It ended up happening just a second later, as Charlie snapped her jaws forward in an attempt to intimidate him. Rather than properly intimidating him, it just spurned him into action. With a sudden snarl of displeasure, Michael summoned spikes of earth and rock from the ground in Charlie's direction. They weren't long enough to truly hit or hurt her, instead just keep her back, and away from him. In the same breath – even as his head had already begun to ache – he took a cautious step back, muttering to Charlie, "I said this ain't a good idea. Stand down." His voice was more firm than it usually was, driven by aggravation and adrenaline.
