She had nothing to worry about, as she found him dispatching the last remnants of the black creatures into dust. He dusted his arms and arms a little bit, surveying the area before spotting the pink hedgehog from afar. "Did you get the others to safety already?"

And that she was, making sure each and everyone of the mobian citizens got to safety, not leaving any of them behind as she was the last to leave the ruins of her old home, now burning in flames as she searched for shadow to make sure the black hedgehog was OK as well.

"For something as simple as that? Hmph. It's not a big deal. Nothing to amount for gratitude." His tone remained lower, but there was no hint of aggression or annoyance like he'd usually be with the blue hedgehog. "But whatever floats your boat, blue hedgehog."

"Isn't that always the case?" Despite some differences, he could see some traits that the blue hedgehog never fails to lose. A hint of a huff comes out of the darker hedgehog's lips, followed by a raise of his eyebrow. "Why are you thanking me for?"

He's not sure what drives the blue hedgehog to do more of these, let alone alongside someone like him. The only thing these two hedgehogs would do is compete with one another or team up to take down a worldly threat. This is quite different. A sigh would escape his lips. "Do what you want."

"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.

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.

// Whoa...what happened to Maria-mun's account!? Don't tell me THAT'S a problem here as well. 😭

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."

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 --

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 --

Amy just watched as he dashed away, not with a second thought, leaving Amy by the burning building. She just gave a small sigh, turning around, she scanned the horizon for any more helpless victims.

"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..."

"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 --

But thankfully, for her sake, he wanted to help.

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. --

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 --

hated her... he did, didn't he..?

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...?"

He never tried to cook in his life before, this was probably the only time he was practicing the culinary arts, because he has to make sure Maria is well fed. "...Alright?" He approached the blonde girl, sitting by the edge of the bed next to her.
