I'm pretty nosey, or I don't care at all. There's not much in the middle.

[ Though he sounds his usual level of not-serious, it's not inaccurate. ]

You seem like the kind of guy that's gets along with most people. It's why I'm curious.

[butsmaller]

Good, good!

[ Abel is happy to be wrong about that one. ]

I misunderstood with that, but it's good that you're usually happy. Do you have something that makes it happiest? Or something that makes you unhappiest? I can avoid that one.

[pyonpyon]

Well... I get along with you so that makes me pretty glad. I wouldn't think you'd care too much talking to someone like me.

[jadedlynx]

Because of my attitude or yours?

[ If Ash comes across as someone who doesn't like to talk in general...fair enough. But Nazuna's attitude is on the better side. ]

[pyonpyon]

Mine. I say a lot of thoughtless things without considering your feelings.

[jadedlynx]

I'd agree if most people said so, but you don't seem to. Unless you're saying it with that nice face and passing it off as compliments. Are you sneaky after all?

[pyonpyon]

[ Pffft! ]

I don't think I'd be able to get anything past you. You're pretty sharp!

[jadedlynx]

I don't hate people who express their feelings.

[ He hates truly selfish people. ]

Your feelings aren't a pain.

[pyonpyon]

[ He blinks, tilting his head. ]






... They aren't?

[reachforthestars]

[he rolls his eyes with a lopsided smile. He says the next part as if he was addressing someone else, but at normal volume so Shadow can hear him clearly]

'How is that my problem', he says, like there wasn't an entire alien invasion revolving around the fact that he the definition of 'not okay' for a while there.

[a shrug, then a laugh]

Well, yeah. Y'know how it is; between Knucklehead being a recluse and Eggman always scheming, it would be really irresponsible of me to just leave them to their own devices. [there's a pause before he looks... surprisingly cheerful?! frankly, this drifter doesn't even have a phone number, it's a miracle Amy or Tails can ever find him, he's in no position to judge] And as long as you have someone you can reach out to, that's good enough for me.

But since we're here, how about a race? [he's looking all excited and sparkly eyed at the prospect of going all out. Race race race fast fast fastfastfast--]

[jadedlynx]

I'm not a masochist or a saint. I don't put up with things I don't like.

[pyonpyon]

Ultimately, I don't really know what you like.

[jadedlynx]

[ Ash debates internally for a moment before he speaks. < b>]

Potato chips, coasts at sunset, and economic books.

[ It's not an exhaustive list, and it isn't about people, but it's the three things that immediately come to mind. ]

[flirtyfox]

Mhm. Should I ask if you can carry me, too?

[ It's said in obvious jest, and Sui gives him no time to answer before he begins to lead the way. ]

You're very strong for such a thin man.

[pyonpyon]

[ He won't be getting any complaints from Nazuna's end. ]




We need to get to the coast at sunset, then!

[jadedlynx]

Do you have someplace you plan on taking me?

[ There's a smile in his voice, something that softens his usual teasing tone. ]

[pyonpyon]

No, not really. [ Unfortunately, he replies with honesty. ] But we only ever see the sun rise. So if Ash likes sunsets then it's obvious we have to do that!

[jadedlynx]

I don't actually like one more than the other. It'd be true if I said sunrises, too. I guess that one came out because even with my schedule, I see more sets than rises.

The idea behind them's the same. The way it paints the sky and let's even the smoggy city of New York look nice.

[pyonpyon]

[ A soft sound is made in acknowledgment. ]

I wouldn't want to interrupt your busy schedule. So I'll just have to settle for sunrise.

[jadedlynx]

My schedule's not so busy anymore.

[ Being a gang leader was morally and emotionally difficult, but for someone like Ash, it isn't time consuming. ]

At my level, you mostly boss them around.

[pyonpyon]

[ That's the equivalent of a blessing, surely. Nazuna's quick to brighten up. ]

So that means we can see the sunset today!

[kusuriuris]

I find I have to be.

[ It would certainly help in carrying such a big box. ]

[mayitlastforeve]

You don't need true understanding to have a connection.

Those who understand you, those who accept what they do not understand. Friends like those are rare. Sometimes you have to fall to know who is or isn't.

But those who only get along, persist out of habit, are bonds as well. We all make each other more part of the world, even at that middle distance. It is worth something to have people like that.

[the_coolest]

That was because I didn't remember anything properly.

[Can't blame him for the Black Arms! He fixed that anyway.

And he snorts at the rest of what Sonic has to say and the ask for a race.]

No.

[That's it, a no. Sorry Sonic.]

[jadedlynx]

Yeah, it means we can see the sunset today. Have you found a place in New York worth showing off?

[ Ash has explored most of the city, but that doesn't mean he's been everywhere. ]
