#I love Espio's little “blehhhhh” when they're spying on Chris' house and roasting the inhabitants for being fancy movie star people etc

how does Espio react when Charmy tells him he needs to be more like Silver or Shadow (probably when Espio is being responsible and telling Charmy to eat his veggies and go to bed)

Oh, he'd be deeply offended. Because Charmy's statements probably don't keep themselves to "You should be more like Silver or Shadow"; they are more like "You should be less boring, like Silver and Shadow" or "Silver and Shadow would never tell me that I need to go to bed because they're cool, unlike you". And considering Espio is described as quite full of himself and a bit smug, I can envision this will be a topic of unsolvable discord in their household. (Also now I am thinking of Sonic X where in Japanese, Espio uses the "I am older than you" argument to argue why he has more right to introduce himself than Charmy, if I am not mistaken. In other words, childish "did not, did so" arguing. XD) So Espio generally vows to not let it get to him and deem himself the more mature on between him and Charmy... and yet he gets dragged up into defending his honour every single time anyway. So yeah, it's a drama, and Espio is very miffed about it!
