Sounds like you got a lot to do, then! Tell me about some of the interesting faces you've met, yeah? If any of 'em get the Shadow Seal of Approval, they're bound to be someone interesting to meet!

But hey, if you're ever up for testing out that magic, I'd be happy to test it out with you. Maybe a little battle, for old time's sake.

[Sonic admittedly knows jack and shit about his own magic even still now, but Sonic breaks out into something of a silly grin. Shadow really is having fun here--it means they can all have a good time here. Maybe Rogue and Omega can show up and he'll have more of his friends, but...

Shadow seems happy, and it makes his chest feel light. It's fine, right? It's one of his best friends, and he's happy. Of course Sonic can feel this way.

But, ah--]

Oh, yeah! I didn't get the chance to tell you, did I? [Sonic chuckles a bit when he says that much, though a hand goes to rub the back of his head and...are his cheeks turning a teeny bit pink?] Some, uh. Some stuff happened here and Neo's more than just a roommate, actually--more than a rival even, too.

He's my boyfriend, actually! We started living with each other a while back and we've been inseparable since!
