#I wonder if Espio is the kind of person to collect anime figurines and merch and such because he does NOT strike me as one

[true-blue-sonic]

Espio liking a character a bit like Silver just got me thinking.

Espio: Okay, so I'll be honest with you, I want the money because that otome game series Amy got me into is having a preorder sale on figures in a new line of outfits and they finally have one of my favourite boy. *holding up phone*

Vector: That boy, Arianwen.

Espio: Yes.

Vector: The light grey Porcupine.

Espio: Yes?

Vector: And the outfit you want him in is the 'futuristic' themed one.

Espio: ...

"That is all just a coincidence, this outfit is superior than any other they have provided him with so far, he is also rather rare because not many people like him so it is difficult enough to find merch of him as it is-" over Vector's incessant cackling XD

Silver meanwhile would not notice, and once he does, he would not at all see the similarities between Es' favourite character and himself. That is, until Amy talks him into a cosplay one day and he's just like "Oh, Es LOVES that guy :D" while they assemble the clothing, and only once he sees himself in the mirror with his fancy futuristic outfit is he like "huh wait a sec actually". Espio remains quiet about it all, lest Silver catches on after all!
