#once were past all the existentional crisees and whatnot

[brainworms-all-night-long]

Nerd banter with Tails yea!! I wanted to articulate this for the longest time- basically, up until.the introduction of Nine the only person Tails could've bud heads with regarding smart guy stuff and technology was Eggman, which aside from it being a grown ass adult beefing with a literal baby it's also ussually tied to a tiresome mission to save the world and twart the doctor's plans where Tails just rubs the always repeated failiture in

With Nine tho, not only is this the first time both of them can go full nerd mode and communicate without the need to simplify anything, they can also attempt to one up each other and sabotage and give a hint or a pitch for improvement with no actual stakes involved. (Also first time Nine's intellect was trully challenged, scary!!)
