Marcellus, Cedric, and Javier exchanged mischievous glances before breaking into a synchronized whistle, a playful, teasing tune that echoed through the forest.
"Feewit! Our brother is finally going to show his skills!"
"Go, go, Aelius! Left, right, Aelius!"
"Crush them! Kill them! Grill them!"
Aelius rolled his eyes, shaking his head as he let out another long, weary exhale. He pinched the bridge of his nose, mumbling under his breath. "These three… I swear, they're more childish than the kids back at the estate. How did I end up with such annoying siblings?"
The ground began to shake, heavy footsteps echoing through the forest as the monsters approached. The pekko stood casually in front of Aelius, their heads held high, completely unbothered by the approaching threat.
Javier, still mounted on Buddy, suddenly broke into a playful rap, bobbing his head to an imaginary beat. Buddy joined in, his head bobbing in sync with the rhythm.
