OOPS. Seems like some people found him before he was ready!

[adventurousblur]

. . . Blink, blink.

It doesn't take any effort to keep up with his words; deciphering the meaning behind them, however. . . the most Sonic can do is nod along, slot vocabulary into place when applicable and file others away for research after their conversation. He wasn't exactly an education driven hedgehog by all means, but it didn't exactly hurt stuff to understand his little brother.

❝ So lemme get this straight — ❞ Walking towards the door, Sonic cracked it open with hand spread to allow both himself and Tails inside. He gestured for the fox to settle by whatever he was working on before speaking again —

❝ You wanna use ' natural resources ' to improve your cannon? ❞ It made sense why Tails wanted to; the numerous biomes they've ventured through were filled with vast and various kinds of stuff. ❝ And it would be kinda like those item boxes I used to use all the time on South Island? ❞ Sonic then snapped his fingers, grinning while pulling the fox in a side hug.

❝ That's genius, Tails! ❞ A hand shot up to rustle his hair, making sure to mind the bangs there. Somehow, he was always still shocked at the things his companion could come up with. After a bit of teasing, the blue blur pulled away.

❝ Wait — would it be a temporary sort of buff, or would uh. . . the data stuff be stored in your cannon for future purposes? And wouldn't you have to, like — ❞ Sonic moved his hands while speaking, eyes darting around in all directions before settling on gesturing limbs; it seemed as if this helped with formulating his next question. ❝ Wouldn't you have to gather MORE of that kinda stuff before firing off another blast? ❞

His little Q&A was suddenly interrupted by recalling Miles' question. ❝ Oh, THAT old thing? It was just some cruddy copy of War and Peace; been meaning to get around to it, heh. ❞

     It was a trend the little twin-tailed homeowner had gotten into whenever he was looking into getting his first-ever workshop— find somewhere isolated and without neighbors. Not because the fox was an introvert or anything, no-no! Because he didn't need the cops being called on him every other Sunday for the various noise complaints he surely would have received.

     So the young inventor wasn't the type to often receive surprise visits after one of his famous malfunctions. Believe it or not, people typically kept their distance when they heard a deafening explosion. But it's about that time that something familiar and blue is caught in the side-eye. A hedgehog sitting on his couch, as comfortable as could be, a book well-traveled sliding out onto the cushion as his big brother drew near.

     "Sonic! Gosh, you were bein' so quiet, I forgot'cha were even here to begin with! Sorry for the noise..." The hedgehog fusses and the fox lets him— ruffled tufts of fur are smoothed back into place, his bangs adjusted and set into where their owner liked them best. Blackened ash and powdery soot are dusted from the body, his own hand waving the growing cloud away from them so that it doesn't just get onto Sonic.

     Then, a grin. "Heh... so you can tell'em apart, eh? I guess if there's anyone on the planet who can tell explosions apart, it'd certainly be you and your exciting life. Cuz', uh... yeah! I guess you can call it special. I'm certainly trying something new, that's for sure." It's a toss-up of the eyes at that one, an expression growing that twinge of sarcasm. New, dangerous, and difficult. And it was clearly giving him some trouble.

     "It's a little somethin' I'm thinking of calling environmental extrapolation. Y'see, in my Blast Cannon, I've got a piece of a Gizoid inside it. It's a recovered chip that allowed for their amazing ability to copy whatever battle maneuvers they saw, and that's what allows my arm cannon to scan bio-data from people I've fought and develop new ammunition types!

     But I was thinking... there are devices like Fire Shields and Bubble Shields... There's clearly a unique kind of strength that comes from nature itself. So what if I could tinker with my weapon and develop the capability to extrapolate data from the environment itself?! I could have elemental shot types if I took from particularly volcanic regions, or a way to...!"

     Ah, and yet already was the fox setting himself back towards the door to his workshop. Guess he wasn't ready to call it quits so soon. "Y'know...? It might just be easier if I showed you. If you're not too comfy with that book'a yours, you wanna come and see what I'm workin' on? Full disclosure: I cannot promise that things will not explode again."

     ...A pause, then a tilt of the head. "Actually, what were you reading? Seemed like it was a good one if the state of its cover was anything to go off of. I gotta clean up my workshop before I'm ready to go for the next test, anyways. So talk to me! Is it somethin' I should check out next?"

It's so stupid how one little comment makes him crumble — now kneeling face down, arms wrapped around chest attempting to steady uneven breaths. An overwhelming urge to tear off white fabric hidden below wells in his hands, his mind / as Sonic hides in one of many meeting rooms of the Restoration. How did he even notice? No one had commented on it before — yet this obnoxious recruit [ not even in the proper place to hold authority over Amy or himself ] felt it through his thick fabric shirt; purposely worn to avoid such a scenario like this.

Her words, even as Jewel and Tangle led Sonic to a more quiet location, echoed repeatedly. Engaged in a screaming match with the recruit [ gaia rest his soul as soon as they pull out the hammer ], the man could still hear everything though slightly muffled. Amy, defending his honor, while making sure not to out him at the same time.

The shaking stopped as soon as the door opened. His pink—haired companion stood proud, tall with a smile that says she really had taken care of the problem. But Sonic cannot stop himself from flying into their arms / the binder around his chest suddenly not feeling as tight as it did mere seconds ago. A relieved sigh says it all; a nonverbal thank you to his lover.

❝ I've never dreamed. ❞

Shoulders shrugging, Sonic set down two cups while observing with emerald eyes. The little place they were situated at was her choice for lunch; appeal of a space-themed café snagging his companion's attention. He finally sat down after waiting forever for their drinks / no other customers seated besides them at the time. Maybe this sort of environment was a stark contrast for them; their time largely spent in GUN compounds with —

. . . Shadow.

That subject was brushed aside as quickly as it came / now positioning himself across from Celeste to address her question. Sonic began to sip at his matcha while softly bouncing a leg.

❝ Sounds kinda funny, huh? Everyone thinks it is . . . but I just don't really dream. Though, I know some friends with pretty interesting stories when it comes to 'em. ❞

The art of heroics does not come without these kinds of moments; there is a soft ache in his heart as this mother berates him — right in front of her young child. All Sonic had done was give the kid a high five / little arm reached out at his person as he passed by. The smile on her face was worth a million rings and more as fists made contact with a gentle bump. Yet, the poor tot was now clutching this woman's leg / obviously upset, with flattened ears, at her parent creating a scene. Ranting on and on about ' his influence over the future generations, encouraging them to make bad decisions in life ' . . . all while heavily cursing around her own spawn. Despite this, he stands strong — now attempting to defuse the situation. . .

. . . Before Scourge unexpectedly popped in, now standing between Earth's savior and some random karen. There's a brief exchange of words [ ringing in tense ears blocked out any of their squabbling ] before the woman pulled away with a stomp and a huff; now sporting a pissed off and offended expression.

Sonic gave one last wave to the child / crowd diffusing slowly as the bustle of everyday life was more important. The blue hedgehog inhaled softly before sparing a glimpse at his pine colored savior — smile never fading. . . but Scourge could see those soft lines under emerald eyes, the crinkled dimples of a truly honest smile directed at him.

❝ Thanks, dude. ❞ A brief pause allowed Sonic to sigh. ❝ I know we don't have the best relationship, but. . . you REALLY saved my butt back there! ❞

[adventurousblur]

Watching all the chaos with a smirk [ he has dated all kinds of people including bioweapons and covert operatives / spies ].

He doesn't reply to that first statement / focusing on Shadow's question while stopping just in front of him. Hands fold behind Sonic's back while rocking back and forth on soap shoes — ❝ Well, I haven't had a good drink in a while . . . or any good company, really. ❞ His foot began to tap on the ground, tip striking against concrete over and over in place. The man pauses to gauge his rivals current reaction . . . before shrugging / flashing that signature smile. Shiny white teeth, with fangs carefully tucked away as to not scare others. 

His latest adventure wasn't mentioned by name / though the impact of it is visible in Sonic. Another chapter added to the story — yet, it seems like the temporary absence of Tails / Knuckles / Amy left more of a scar than any foe could.

Was Sonic . . . lonely?

❝ I like supporting the locals anyway I can. ❞ So predictable of him / big-hearted — but never naïve. Two coupons are yoinked from Sonic's jean pockets. ❝ And I just so happened to get these in the mail; it'd be selfish to not make the offer. ❞

❝ . . . Andddddddd even if they didn't mail 'em, I was still gonna check their おちゃ out. They uh . . . they ALSO expire after today. Hope that doesn't sour the deal, heh. ❞

[adventurousblur]

❝ Lamb to the Slaughter kinda night, huh ? ❞
