Shadow the Hedgehog

"Well he's got a flamethrower at least." ---- "Great." Zamy teleported them back to the apartment, having paid beforehand.

"Even better, I get to be cheap," laughed Hope before clamming up as the captain entered the air duct. ---- "Well then, are you both finished?"

"Yeah, I'll look for it sometime," said Hope. ---- Zamy saw Miles didn't like saying that, but didn't want to upset Anna.

"I'm also tempted to see how bad it is." --- "It could do. He seems like the person to have an appreciation of that sort of thing."

"What the....that just sounds ridiculous," said Ahadow. ---- "Yeah. It might get a certain man's attention as well," said Zamy.

"That'd be an interesting twist." ---- "Anytime."

"Ok I'll give you that one." ---- "I'm sure it will."

"Probably someone's pet." ----- "Anyway, glad you've got an avenue to try out."

Shadow: Ok I'm calling this in. We can still catch her.

"Yeah, they'll mess it up." --- "And even if there wasn't it's not that expensive, we could've gotten it for you."

Hope nodded in agreement. --- "Excellent you can give it a shot."

"Thanks," said Hope as on screen the crew hunted for the creature. ---- "Exactly. You enjoying it is the main thing." ---- On Moebius, the pair crept towards what they assumed was an illusion before the elder hurled an anarchy spear at it to spring any trap.

"It's fine," reolied Shadow. ---- "I wasn't going to suggest it wither."

"That was harsh even by my standards." ---- "What about painting or something else expressive?"

"Well let's hope your stomach holds until the end ofvthe film," joked Shadow. ---- "It's worth a try."

"Oh yeah," muttered Hope as she returned to watching. ---- "You'll find confidence in some other activity, or maybe something would happen to boost your confidence regardless."

"No, don't do that." --- "Exactly. It would just mean you're even more outgoing and friendly."

"I know, I know." ----- "I see. Well we need to get you some of that back, somehow."

"I knw. But it's only a movie I mean." ---- "Yes I'm sure you can as well. Just take it a step at a time. What are you shy about?"

"I'm... I'm ok," said Hope as she turned back around. "I'll get used to it." ---- "Ok, it was only a suggestion."

Hope turned away from the screen, almost green faced. ---- "You could be a vigorous personal trainer if you toned it down a bit."

Hope jumped as well as a small creature burst through on screen, whilst Shadow chuckled slightly. --- "I don't blame you, you had other priorities."

"I'm thinking it's a little more explosive." ---- "Like an apprenticeship or some other training?"

"No it's too.... pained for that," said Shadow, having a good idea of what was to come. ---- "No. You'll have to do something with your life and from what I can tell assassins aren't that popular here."

"Indeed, and it looks like it's about to get even worse." ---- "I suppose you'll have to go to school or something."
