Reflecting and Thankful?

[neutralchaotic]

[Laying back on a sunny patch of grass, looking up at the sky. He chose this area because it was quiet. The quad is too noisy for quiet reflection.]

The Time Compression has a sick sense of humor...

[Looks over to a few flowers swaying in the wind, thinking back on her death. Yes, definitely grateful she's alive. She can see the world he's trying

[And who happens to be passing by but Tobias himself? He stops at hearing Shadow speak, peering curiously and somewhat fearfully at the hedgehog from behind a tree.

He trusts Espio, for sure, but still, Shadow doesn't seem like what he insists....]

[neutralchaotic]

[Sighs and looks up at the sky again. Something didn't feel right to him. Sits up abruptly, looking about.]

...who's there?

[heartcorrupt]

[ACK SPOTTED.

...it's not exactly hard to see the boy behind the tree, especially since he hasn't been thin enough for this sort of stealth in a while.]

[neutralchaotic]

[Spots the boy, noticing it's Espio's friend from before.]

Why are you spying on me? Afraid I'll kill everyone here, too? [Sarcasm, he knows it.]

[heartcorrupt]

[There's a bit of a pause there.]

...I don't know. Espio says you did, but back home, a lot of people said that I was an evil monster that killed people for fun too. It wasn't true for me, so I don't want to believe that about you without knowing for sure either.

[neutralchaotic]

[Looks over the youth, as his story seems farfetched. But he knows better than to underestimate people.

Goes back to his sky watching.] Believe what you want. I'm not from the same continuum as Espio, though.

[heartcorrupt]

You don't have the feel of an evil person either.

[neutralchaotic]

[...what?]

...then how do I feel?

[heartcorrupt]

....Kind of like Silver.

I don't really know what to think of you.

EDIT

[neutralchaotic]

Wait, you knew Silver?

[You've got his attention. He thinks Toby is talking about Silver the Hedgehog.]

[heartcorrupt]

I'm pretty sure it's not yours. I had a friend named Silver. He was pretty rough and mean to other people, but he was usually nice to me.

[neutralchaotic]

[Mulls over that.] Silver is too soft to be mean. [Soft as in not having that killer instinct as he possessed.]

As I said, believe, and feel, what you wish. I'm not going to waste time arguing my position.

[turnip_rage]

You know, you have some serious communication issues, Hedgehog.

[Says Espio, out of nowhere.]

[neutralchaotic]

[Doesn't even bother to look at the new voice.]

You think so?

[turnip_rage]

You could just say "Espio's not so convinced anymore, why don't you ask him."

[neutralchaotic]

I wanted to hear what he had to say.
