[Sonic's actually surprisingly good at listening to instructions! Omochao's trained him well, what can he say. But while Sonic may be an idiot, he follows instructions carefully and to the letter. The last thing he wants to do is end up screwing something up and causing Neo to end up getting hurt because of his neglect. He treats Neo like he would one of Tails inventions; with the care it deserves, and the instructions it needs to flourish.
Not that it's easy, mind you, but Sonic listens and he watches Neo, lowkey thankful that Neo can't see the way that his ears droop down a bit, watching the robotic hedgehog. His words are so even and careful, yet paused, and...
...Is he shaking? Sonic's almost thankful Neo can't see the bit of concern on his face, and he's thankful his hands are working on getting his doppelganger's inner workings back in order. Lest he do something stupid like put a hand on his shoulder, or something else impulsive. Baby steps.]
Yeah? I mean. At least I hope so. We know not to mess with those bunnies, now. [Sonic continues to work while they talk.] Still, it was pretty impulsive of me. I should've at least asked if you were okay with that, and for what it's worth, I am sorry for springing that on you. That wasn't fair.
[...]
I haven't exactly been fair to you since we stopped talking to each other. [Sonic lets the words come out, and they're not easy, but he's trying.] I kinda went and kept dodging your questions like they were attacks on me. I didn't...really know what to do, I guess, but that still didn't make it right.
I wanted to try and understand you a bit, but I kind of just kept shutting you out, huh?
