{➹} – ARROW DIDN'T ANSWER, not really anyway. Though the sound that left his lips, that scoffed of sorts, was telling. He had mixed feelings about the organization, and they didn't necessarily lean towards favorable. But his Zone didn't have them, and the ones that did...well, he had heard stories and found GUN to be more misguided than anything. Not a thought he wanted to dwell on, and he was glad when Shadow didn't push for a more committed answer.

But there was a noticeable uptick in his expression at the question. No, they hadn't now, had they? "Can't say we'll have. Are you fixing t' change that?"

Shadow shrugged. He agreed with that. But you still had to stop bad people. Maybe that was why he struggled. There were many people who thought they were doing the right thing who simply weren't. As a perfect being, Shadow often concerned himself with such things, believing his way to be the right way, and others not so much. "Would you say that to GUN?" The words left his lips as dry as they could, worded in a way that could either go rhetorical or have Arrow answer, if he wanted. Then he sighed and stretched, crossing over to look out at the same view the other hedgehog had been. He was beginning to itch for a race--talking about his perspective with other Sonics sort of made his skin crawl. It felt so foreign. "We've never raced before, have we? I mean you and me."

{➹} – "THAT MAKES TWO of us." He had no idea who his biological parents were either, and he didn't care anymore. HE was happy with how things were. What he had made. "An' I'm going t' take that as a compliment. 'S not something I really expected t' be, but people say I'm good at it. So I'll take it."

@emeraldtied

"Heh, I'd be like that too, but I have no clue who my actual dad is." Sonic replied. "You on the other hand definitely sound like a dad. Even though I haven't met mind, weirdly enough, I think this is how it'd go!" Sonic told him.

[emeraldtied]

{➹} – HE HAD LONG since learned to never judge an opponent by appearances, having seen too many instances where one was much stronger or faster or more clever than they looked. Sonic supposed the same thing could be said about him in some aspects, but that often worked to his advantage. Though nothing could have prepared him for watching the sheep bend like that, it left even him speechless for a moment.

"...Contrary t' what some might think, 'm not exactly an open book," was his reply, rather simple and to the point. His eyes didn't leave the sheep, but it was also obvious he didn't want the fight to escalate. Nevermind it wouldn't be fun if she did managed to touch him, but he hadn't wanted this in the first place. "'S not too late t' stop, y'know."

Fazzi had been informed about Sonic, so her main purpose was to test just how fast he was. As the sheep expected he was far quicker than her, and clearly had sharp sense's given how he wasn't caught off by the fact she was able to move quicker that on might expect given her size and weight. She can still see him move, so can formulate a plan. That said, the control of the wind he had was greater than she was told.

Though Fazzi had dealt with wind magic and even one with a power wind Lucky Star. The sheep's torso suddenly bend ninety degree's backwards, managing to hold her ground before she shoots back up. "Seems the information I got is rather lack luster. What kind of people do I have to work with?" She would keep her focus on Sonic, though now seemed more cautious.

[emeraldtied]

{➹} – HE HAD NOTHING to add to that, namely because he knew she was right. Trial and error was the name of the game and not much was going to change that. He had gotten that far, after all. "Guess that's all there is t' it...Sorry for taking up your time with something so silly."

@emeraldtied

"Course it is, but that's why we work on stuff so it can get easier." Ami reminded him. "It's like riding a bike, or learning walk. You're gotta fall and bust your ass, but you get back up and keep trying! Then the more you do it, the easier it becomes."

↳ @familylightfox asked: Digging in the sand was a great way to enjoy the beach. With their parents watching over them, Gibbous mostly concentrated on tossing the sand behind her until it was deep enough to sit in with some water. Seems the pup figured out a way to enjoy the ocean without dragging Mina in. Light looked over, giving a snort at the sight of the toddler making it just a bit bigger so Lyra could join in when his vision flickered. One hand came up, covering his cybernetic with a soft hiss from between clenched teeth. It didn’t take long for Gibbous to run over with a sandy bump to his leg. An alert for the abrupt migraine that split across his temple. “Sh-𝕊𝕙𝕚𝕥…”

{➹} – THE ADULTS HAD taken to sitting on the chairs they had dragged down from the house, complete with one large umbrella, of course. Between the landscape and the toddlers, they had the perfect view for the afternoon's entertainment.

Neither hedgehog nor mongoose knew how they felt about the kids playing in sandy water, but that's what baths were for, they supposed.

However whatever comment they were going to make was cut short by the sound from Light. The pain on the former soldier's face was enough reason for concern.

"Everything alright.. ?" Clearly it wasn't but the hedgehog was going to give their friend the benefit of the doubt for the moment. He doubted it helped that everyone was now that much closer, but he knew better than to try to drag Lyra away from Gibbous, who wouldn't leave Light for anything.

{➹} – WHILE IT WAS obviously a joke, the hero did seem to consider his friend's offer. It was hardly a secret that the hero was just a little self conscience about his height, but at the end of the day he had long since learned to live with it. Plus the little fact he might get turned into a frog or another species entirely wasn't something he would have risked, even for something he did really want.

"If that's the case, I'll have t' pass. But I do wish you luck with the potion making, sounds like you're making pretty good progress already if you can fix something like that so fast."

Mina nodded in agreement there, just glad her husband had been kidding before they both listened to Zelda speak about her kingdom. Neither of them had doubted her in the slightest but they were always happy to hear that she was doing well. That her home and her people were doing well.

Even Lyra was smiling, though that may have had more to do with her aunt than anything else.

"A few thousand? Talk about hand cramps..." The mongoose said, grinning as she resting a hand on her hip. "It has to be pretty cool though, being on the brightest side of your kingdom's history. Given all the work you've put into it though, I guess it was bound to happen with how dedicated you are. Even I have to say it's impressive."

Oh, the joy of hearing from a child. That laughter, that excitement. These were reason enough to keep going on. Though she got a similar feeling when the children of her kingdom came to her, it couldn't compare to Lyra. Her niece would always hold a large place in her heart. Just like her parents. They were family, the only family she had other than Impa. Maybe someday she'd find romantic love, but until a man came along who could incite such feelings, she was married to her kingdom.

"If you truly feel so inclined, I could try. Though I must warn, the last time I tried brewing a potion to change one's appearance, it was for a knight who wanted who wanted to more easily put on muscle, he turned into a frog. I gave him a month's paid vacation as apology, once he was back to his ordinary self again. It only took a few dozen potions..."

It wasn't a lie, but it was spoken in good nature. There were no hard feelings between her, and the knight. Though in the end, she couldn't change his appearance at all.

"My, yes. More so than usual, that is how I have so much free time at the moment. Through blessings, economic prosperity, and at least a couple thousand handwritten letters sent throughout the world, Hyrule is in a golden age of unlike has been known in centuries."

{➹} – "FUNNY, 'S ALMOST like the mad scientist sort never wins," he mused, a grin on his muzzle as he shook his head. He knew what found family could do, given that his own had saved his hide a time or eight. He was always happy to hear that others had found their's too.

"Not too much t' say." A lie. "Guess it depends on where you want me t' start, or what you want t' know."

@emeraldtied

Isabella laughed a little. "Haha! Yeah, we are well- experiment sisters, but over time once we left and did things for ourselves, we became like actual sisters." She told him. "A lot of his experiments were failures or went rouge like we did. He was a strange little scientist for sure..."

"Bah, but he's in the past now. I want to hear more about you!"

[emeraldtied]

{➹} – THE HEDGEHOG COULDN'T very well deny those words, so he didn't. He truly didn't think that Harley was in the wrong here, regardless of the accusations, so he would stand his ground. As much as he didn't want to fight or stir up drama there in public, he wasn't left with much choice.

Everyone knew he was fast. A runner. Going for his legs was logical, but a strategy he had seen far too often. It was easy to dodge, he was the fastest thing on his planet after all. But what might have been unexpected was the sudden, strong gust of wind that hit the sheep in an attempt to push them back.

Most people didn't know the hero could control such a thing.

"I could waste time trying to dissuade you from defending this clockbelly, though I think we both know that'd just be a waste of my time." Fazzi looked down on Sonic, seeming to do one last gauge of how serious he was about this. That's all she needed to do has she's seen that familiar determined look on plenty of other people before. "Guess I could use the exercise, just know this ain't personal."

Fazzi moved surprisingly quick for someone of her size, managing to close a good distance to be withing arm's reach. The sheep reaching out to attempt to tap Sonic's legs. Seems she must've been informed of the hedgehog's abilities to be specifically target his legs.

↳ @bundlesofchaos asked: Maybe Mina wasn't his biological mother, but she was really nice and caring. So Andie spent a lot of time trying to draw a picture featuring her in the garden, making sure to do his best shading with all the color pencils at his disposal before giving her the final product.

{➹} – THE MONGOOSE WAS none the wiser as to what Andie had been pouring over so meticulously but had decided to leave him alone. She knew how the artist type could get if they were interrupted, but she would admit the last thing she expected was to have that piece of paper extended her way not long after.

Seeing what was on it, and the care that was given, made her feel ten feet tall. Knowing that he appreciated her, even if there was no way she would have just left him to his own devices, meant the world to her.

"You didn't have to make me anything, you know." Even as she said it the mongoose was unable to stop the sentiment from coming through, and in the next moment she had drawn the boy in for a hug. Maybe a little too tight, but she was beyond grateful.

"I'VE ALWAYS BEEN closer t' Mum than Dad. Can't really say why, 's always been that way. Probably because we have more in common, sort of. I share the whole love of music with Dad but he's still all...science-y and that's not my forte. Mum an' I have our love of tea and plants and just taking it easy."

 ‘🌸’ to hear my muse’s mother or mother-figure talk about the muse.

{➹} – "SONIC HATES when I gush about him, but that doesn't stop me from doing it. Looking back at all he's done and accomplished, not just for the world but himself...I can't resist. He's come a long way, and so few people know what he's really had to overcome to get here."

"Mina is the same way, as in hates when I talk about her too much. She's always been that way, too grown up to take mom's praise too seriously but it doesn't make me any less proud."

↳ @familylightfox asked: Now that the weather was warmer, Gibbous had a blast following her friend all over the beach in search of shells and rocks that she could add to their little collection. The toddler had even started toddling after Lyra on just her legs as she did so. How else was she supposed to carry her own bucket without getting sand in her mouth. "Wait for me! Lee-rah getting fast!"

{➹} – ANYTIME THEY COULD go to the beach was a good one in Lyra's book. The same went with Mina, though Arrow could obviously take or leave it most days but would admit watching the toddlers go about the sand was good entertainment on its own. The couple were impressed with Gibbous' progress on her legs, and the same could be said for their daughter as well.

Because Gibbous was right, Lyra was getting quicker on her feet. Nothing to the real extent of her parents but they just knew it wasn't going to be long until the little one was quite literally giving them a run for their money.

The laugh that came from Lyra at Gibbous' declaration was telling, but playful as she waited for her friend to catch up before pointing out a large scallop not far from their feet.

↳ @lilbluespeedster asked: The newly formed band seemed have been practicing frequently as of late, trying to get their set in order. It seemed each time one of the couple stopped by, they were walking into a different song that they were practicing. Seems that they had a particular one in mind at the moment at least one of them walked in.

{➹} – WHILE MORE THAN happy to give Lil and his band space to practice, it would be a lie to say that the couple wasn't interested to see what they were working on when given the chance. Of course, this invitation went both ways, though The Forget Me Knots weren't scheduled for a session until summer time.

Today it was just the hedgehog checking in with the group, though more Lil than anything. Seeing the other happy and having found a more than worthwhile thing to send his time and energy on made the elder happy in turn.

Plus, in Arrow's mind, there was no better therapy than a little rock music.

When the song finished, the elder said nothing. Only gave his alternate a smile and a knowing look. They could talk when Lil had time.
