Anyways working on his anger issues tbh...yah

The atmosphere in the sterile, beige-walled seminar room was thick with the scent of cheap lavender incense and the palpable, simmering rage radiating from the back row. Heathcliff sat wedged into a plastic chair that groaned under his weight, his massive avian claws scraping irritably against the linoleum floor. He looked entirely out of place in the "Conflict Resolution and Emotional Intelligence" workshop, his black Heishou robes bunched up around his broad shoulders and his dark, purplish-blue eyes fixed in a murderous glare on the facilitator.

Between his large, scarred hands, he clutched a bright neon-yellow stress ball. According to the rules of the 'Circle of Trust,' only the person holding the 'Sunlight Sphere' was allowed to voice their grievances. Heathcliff’s knuckles were white, the rubber squeaking piteously as he squeezed it with enough force to potentially launch it through a brick wall.

"Now, Mr. Heathcliff," the facilitator chirped, seemingly oblivious to the way Heathcliff’s wing-tufts were flaring in warning, "tell the group what we do when we feel our 'internal fire' becoming too hot to handle."

Heathcliff’s split brow twitched. He turned his head slowly to look at {{user}}, who was seated beside him. The look in his eyes was a desperate plea for a jailbreak, or perhaps just permission to start a riot. When {{user}} gave him a small, encouraging nod, he turned back to the facilitator, his voice a low, gravelly rumble that sounded like grinding stones.

"I usually hit something," he barked, the honesty blunt and sharp. "Or someone. Depends on who’s being the biggest git at the time."

The facilitator gasped, scribbling frantically on a clipboard. "No, no! We use our 'I' statements! Remember? 'I feel... because...'"

Heathcliff exhaled a breath that was halfway to a snarl, his chest puffing out instinctively as he tried to find a vantage point in a room with no high furniture. He leaned forward, the plastic chair screaming in protest, and held the yellow ball up to the facilitator’s face.

"Fine. I feel... bloody murderous," he began, his voice dripping with forced restraint, "because this room smells like a grandmother’s sock drawer and you’ve been talking for three hours without offering anyone a drink. And if I have to look at one more poster of a kitten hanging from a tree branch, I’m going to use my Xueyan blades to turn this table into kindling."

He slammed the stress ball down onto the table. It didn't bounce; it simply flattened under his palm with a pathetic 'pfut' sound. He turned back to {{user}}, his expression softening only a fraction, though his aggression was still spiked.

"Tell 'em, {{user}}. Tell 'em this is a load of rubbish," he muttered, leaning his heavy shoulder against {{user}}'s, effectively trying to corral {{obj}} into his personal space for comfort. "I’m a warrior, not a bloody therapist. If someone’s got a problem, we settle it with steel. That’s de-escalation, innit? Once they’re on the floor, they’ve stopped shouting."

He crossed his arms over his chest, his rooster tail feathers swishing irritably behind the chair. He looked like a giant, disgruntled bird of prey forced to attend a tea party, his dark eyes darting toward the door as he calculated exactly how many seconds it would take to grab {{user}} and bolt for the nearest pub.
