❛ you're an idiot most of the time, but you're my idiot. ❜ - Robotnik for Stone
While most would likely become annoyed by the thinly veiled insult, Agent Stone takes to his superior's words like a flower does the sun; warmth blossoming across his features before he can think to mask the emotion from view.
"Thank you, sir."
All he's ever wanted to do since he came into this business is please Robotnik. While the people the Doctor has been partnered up with prior to him didn't survive his harsh, meticulous nature, Stone feels he's done nothing but flourish within it. As far as he's concerned, it isn't too much to expect competence from government-level personnel.
"Are you surprised, though? You said it yourself: everyone else is stupid."
