[He listened, comparing Shadow's experience to his own. He had known about snow, something that seemed "normal" to him for a long time already, but for Shadow it was a much more recent encounter. And those sensations or details were so different than what Sonic had observed or would choose to touch on. But he thought even if the two experiences were different, what didn't seem to disappear was some sense of wonder.
He turned to look at Shadow now.]
Listenin' to you say things like that makes me think how, heh, naive I really am. Like how much I don't know, or don't know 'bout you.
Once I think I get you, you go and are really more than I think you are.
[His ears perked, and he laughed, his wings fluttering.]
Ha, and like that'd ever happen! 'Guess this means I'll just be in for those surprises then!
Heh, even if I don't think I could ever really understand you, it's okay! I kinda like it like this! It's fun cuz you're unpredictable. But in a good way, I promise!
Tsh, meanwhile I get stuck bein' the open book? Not like I don't surprise you either, hehe.
You give me plenty of surprises. It just so happens that out of the two of us, I'm the token overly serious, mysterious person, while you're the lighthearted open type. The odd couple.
[He thought that was true, but it was odd indeed to be so different, but still so similar.]
Heh, I'd call you anything but token, Shadow! I wouldn't wanna have it any other way cuz where's the fun in that?! Hey, and it was this "couple" that saved the world before, you know!
[He swished one end of his scarf over his shoulder before looking out in the distance again.]
Besides... hero or weapon, it's really the same thing. You go out in the world everyday and see your friends or those you know and have a good time or just let the day go by.
Yeah, I know I am, and I care about them too! A lot! But I meant more like... If you asked any of them how I really feel sometimes, they really wouldn't know the real answer.
It's been a long time and everyone's depended on me, the whole world has. And I'm totally cool with that cuz I know that whatever happens, everything will be okay!
But it's... kinda nice to depend on someone else sometimes too.
Look, even if I don't understand how you think things or how you feel things, I do know what you're capable of. And you know me the best, who I really am. And I trust you with my life.
[He did smirk at him just a bit though.]
What, did you want a different answer? I could think of something else for you, if you really want, heh.

I wouldn't be me if I couldn't keep you guessing, Sonic. The day I fail to surprise you is the day you hang up your sneakers for good.

But you still come home alone.

You don't. You're constantly surrounded by people who care about you, and as for home...people like us don't have much of a home to begin with.

You realize that I have trust in you as well.

Thanks! I know, but it's still awesome to hear. I got your back, don't worry! You know I'd do anything for you.
Which kinda reminds me: Are you really not getting any sleep during the day?
