"Hey, nice guitar!"

He wasn't sure about what kind it was, but Danny had never been one for instruments. He could play a few chords on the piano, and that was about it. Where he shined, was his voice. Danny's voice was incredible, to say the least. He could reach low, sultry tones. He could hit angelic high notes. He'd spent his entire life working on his voice. Acting and dancing, too.

"I don't know much about guitars, but I did try to learn how to play one once. It hurt my fingers so much, that little kitten me didn't wanna try anymore. It was more fun to sing! Which is funny, because that hurt too. I'd sing until it hurt just breathing, I just couldn't stop myself!"

He's laughing, very lighthearted, very sweet.

"So I know water's super important for drinking, and life. But can anything live in the water? Where I'm from, there's way too much ash from the smoke, just drinking it is kind of painful."

Laying on his front, Silver traces the surface of the water with his gloved fingertip. Amazing, how it was so clear. He didn't realize this was what people called a beach, though he had learned that the Earth was, at least in this time period, almost completely covered with water.

Surely there was life down there!

"Why don't we explore it?"

A momentary pause, this time, an expression of confusion. Lowering his hand, the hedgehog noticed a change in how it moved. He balled his fist, then unclenched it. How peculiar.

amy just had to stare. not to be rude but because seeing alternates of sonic was always so shocking. and, just like always, one that was so small was...cute. dare she say.

sonic himself had a little more sense about him and recognition flash over his face.

"Well the instructions say only moderate sunlight..."

He and Lil were busy planting the spring garden. The winter was over, that meant time for flowers! There was light rain, which meant no need to water. His weapon of choice served a practicality as well, his star umbrella was more than big enough to shield both of them.

"I'm no heliophysicist, but I think the side of the house would be best. Says it needs a lot of water, so we must stay diligent. I really want to see these ones bloom, they're supposedly very rare blue blooms. We can't miss a single day of making sure it gets some water, so we'll have to remind each other in case the other forgets."

There's a pause, as he looks up at the sky.

   {➹} – "EXCEPT SHE ACTUALLY managed t' get through school where I didn't. She's smarter than me in a lot of ways. Sort of why I love her." One reason of many, but he did mean that. The mongoose was a lot wiser than some people gave her credit for, but he would admit he had noticed an...unease falling over her the last few days.

Nothing compared to Lil, however, and frankly the other's tone had the elder frowning. Not worried, like he maybe should have been, but more taken aback than anything as yellowed eyes stared at the younger hedgehog. No, Arrow hadn't considered the possibility of this transformation going all the way, for lack of a better term, but he also wasn't a fan of how Lil was denigrating him.

"Don't you think you're overreacting a little? If that was going t' happen, wouldn't it have already?

    {➹} – IT WAS THE ANSWER she had expected. She had no idea how she was going to pay Lil back for this, but the mongoose had every intention of finding a way once all this was over. It was the least she could do, because she knew this next part wasn’t going to be easy. He wasn’t the only one who was feeling their nerves eat away at them, the singer had a strong sinking feeling in her stomach but they finally had something. And she wasn’t letting it go now.

     She wished she had a way of telling her partner that help was on the way, that he just needed to hold on a little longer, but she didn’t. It was why there was a haste in her actions as she nodded, already motioning for Lil to follow her. 

     “C’mon, the others are waiting for us. If this works, we’re going to him right away so if you need to grab anything, now’s the time.” They weren’t risking the chance of the portal closing again if it opened this time around. It was now or never, and they were all willing to put themselves on the line for the mission at hand.

     One way or another, they were bringing Sonic home today.

"A set of rings maybe? I'm not entirely sure. I'm not really good at this kind of thing obviously. Something... romantic at least."

“Rings, eh? I can do t’at, no problem.”

Already thinking of some designs for the matching set he was going to make for his friend. Wanting them to be special and unique too. It shouldn’t take him to long to finish the request — would be nice to do some metal and gem work again too. Being a while since he had done such tasks.

“Shouldn’t take me t’long t’finish ‘em for you. A couple days at best — “
