"It still might have a certain shock to it when you touch it if the electricity hasn't fully came off." Nightfall warned as it tried to shock Knuckles.

"What was th-- Ouch!" Knuckles exclaimed. "You're lucky I haven't figured out how to break you yet..." He threatened the staff (???), cautiously reaching for it again.

Nightfall handed him the fireresistant gloves,"You can't break it without lighting and the shock is why it is so hard to work with."

Knuckles sensibly tugged off his own mits, pausing to stare down the bandage from the showdown with Ruby, and pulled on the fireproof ones, minding his spurs.

"Ruby do that to you," Nightfall asked.

"Uh, yeah. Her scythe wasn't the only casualty...." He muttered, picking up the base.

"Not suprising when it comes to Ruby fighting after all she was trained by a legendary Wolf Hunter." Nightfall smiled, "I'm proud of her for holding her own for a while against you."

"Yeah. She got off lucky, though. If I had a reason to, I'd kick her tail." Knuckles off-handedly remarked, passing her the handle.

Nightfall wiped out her sycthe,"Insult the pack especially when Reaper is around and you will be eating those words." She took the handle which didn't try to shock her bare-handed.

"I didn't mean any disrespect." Knuckles collectedly informed her, holding his ground.
