[Neo had hoped he'd be back in his body within a matter of days, but as time passes... he's starting to find it easier to adapt to Sonic's body. Sure, there are still plenty of fundamental problems he's not sure he could ever get used to - he is so woefully inefficient with needs such as hunger and sleep - but being able to feel and experience so much is truly wonderful. He tries new foods with Sonic, he goes out to practice running - actually running instead of using his jets - and it doesn't take him long at all to replicate Sonic's spin dash, as easy as if he'd been doing it his whole life. It feels amazing.
...Some part of him doesn't really want to go back, if he's being completely honest with himself.
He could never admit that to Sonic. He could never be that selfish to begin with either; it's merely a passing thought that terrifies him and one that he's quick to put out of his mind. They're going to return to their original bodies, and they'll put this behind them just as they always have. There's no point in dwelling on it, or wishing that he could keep parts of this for himself.
Truthfully, Neo's been so distracted by all of these new experiences that he hasn't really been focused on gathering information. He can't help but feel bad about it when Sonic comes through with a possible solution, and feels even worse when he considers telling Sonic that it would be smarter for someone else to take this thing on. Sure, they're an effective duo, but they won't be fighting at peak efficiency in each other's bodies. It would be smarter to have someone unaffected take down the monster, or at least a larger group to fight alongside.
Or maybe that's just how he's justifying it to himself to stay in this body for just a little longer. It's that thought that spurs him to agree and formulate a plan. So here they are, with Sonic arriving after him. He's certainly going to miss Sonic's speed, and the feeling of the wind blowing through his quills...]
Of course. From what I've been able to gather, our foe excels at both ranged and melee combat, switching between its weapons as needed. The best way to handle it would be to force it to switch between the two - it will leave us an opening to attack. As such, drawing its attention would be the best way to proceed.
[Usually that would be his job, because he's slower and bulkier; he can even shrug off magical hits fairly well. But...]
I'm not entirely sure how hard it hits. We'll need to be careful.
