"Hmph. It depends on how you do it."

So there's a possibility it won't be that negative from the darker hedgehog's perspective. At least he's now scowling as much like the usual.

"You really do give off a strange vibe to yourself, Sonic."

Not that it was a bad thing, but something unexpected. The dark hedgehog remains stoic as opposed to the smiling blue hedgehog.

"I'll think about it."

He responds first with numerous blinking with his eyelids, before speaking.

"You're starting to sound like your merry friends."

A short raise of his eyebrow at him, this Sonic variant proves to be a lot different when it comes to his personality.

Same here. Was able to make some headcanons with their Maria only for her to disappear.

I didn't read much as I was inactive here but they were posting about someone telling them irl stuff? I feel like that could have pushed them to delete the account. I didn't know much more.

For a while he took numerous sips, as if he was ignoring the blue hedgehog's words, but he eventually sets his mug down.

Without gazing towards the blue hedgehog, he starts speaking.

"Sightseeing? Why that?"

♜ rook ♜

I'd like to know what happened too. I was busy for a while. Came back to see their account gone.

Another one lost.

...

He couldn't explain what happened.

Her existence just snapped out of thin air.

It's happening again.

...

Dammit.

"Brush your hair...if what I did last time was fine, then I'll do it."

He still hasn't really learned much on how to groom one's hair, let alone a human's. Hopefully his hands won't be too rough on messing up her hair.

Always thankful. Always grateful. Even from another world, it always amazed him how that trait of hers always stays the same. It definitely made sense how anyone would fight for her sake. Even the likes of someone as cold as he was.

"...Of course. Anything for you."

very room they are both in.

"Here it is. It's not as good, but should be well enough to give you energy for the day."

With her words, he went out of the room to get her breakfast. In a few minutes, the dark hedgehog emerged into the room, with two sandwiches unto a tray he was holding.

Motioning towards the bed, he placed the tray just in front of Maria. The scent of the eggs wafting into the air within the --

safer place.

If anything, he's meant to distract and remove the number of threats. He hopes the pink hedgehog is doing her job.

There was no time to idle, within the dark hedgehog's perspective. These alien creatures. He has seen them before.

They have this odd DNA that he has extracted before. They have relations to him.

He starts moving and taking most of them down, allowing more of the townsfolk to head over to a --

"I don't want to make it worse, so I'll just bring the food here. Don't worry I can stay here as you eat, unless you want otherwise."

He didn't want to move her too much, afraid it'll make her condition worse, but if she desires it, he'll go along with it. After all, her happiness is worth it.

"...Something?"

Now he wasn't really hungry, but in a way if he's going to try and keep up with trying to find a cure for her, he'll have to keep up some strength to keep going.

So in a sense, he'd eventually accept it slowly, for Maria's sake.

"...If you insist..."

so I have to deal with them, keep them at bay and eliminate them, you find the others and get them all away from this area. Do it now."

He didn't wait for her to respond, he just completely dashed off, once more, unto the battle fray.

"Then you should have thought about my words earlier. You were reckless. This is what happens when the timeline goes unbalanced."

This disaster could have been prevented, but it's here now and there's no use to even giving her any more reminders of her faults.

"The threats are still lurking --

"I'll be fine. I can't rest well knowing you're suffering like this."

He tries to reassure her back, with a gentle squeeze of her own.

He wasn't sure how much to react, so he continued to give that blank expression, though it felt really odd when she does that.

But with how she is, maybe it made sense. She couldn't see his face with her eyesight getting worse right?

He can't keep idling a lot here. There's not much time.

--

think the threat would be him. Just go now. There's still more that needs to be saved. I'm holding them off. Go now."

He never thought of anything else, his mission was to save her world, its residents and her.

The dark hedgehog was already standing next to her, seemingly to be the savior for her. It almost replicated a certain blue hedgehog, except there was no sassy remark, just pure concentrated will to do his job.

"...Now isn't the time to be thinking about that. Check on more survivors. I didn't --

Normally he'd find this interaction to be weird if anyone else does it to him, being appalled. But when it's Maria, he seems to stay still, not feeling any sort of disgust from it.

"...I'm doing just fine...I should be asking you that. How are you feeling...?"
