“Your’re coming out with me. Wear something expensive and preferably low cut I’m not getting seen out with someone that looks like sh*t. Though I guess in your case that’s a near impossibility so whatever.” Blunt as the fennec-hog had sounded when asking his crush out on their first date official date at the time there had been an undeniable amount of crimson spreading across his usually crisp white muzzle while he’d bitten the bullet and come out with it. But to his credit not once had he broken eye contact with her when asking. What he and Luna had was complicated to say the least but there was something between them. He found her overwhelmingly breath-taking not that he ever let on to her as much directly but he had a feeling she already knew. Which was all part of the fun the dynamic they shared was almost a carefully calculated game of sorts but games were almost always short lived for him. He knew exactly what he wanted now the only fact of the matter was figuring out what Lunas deal was.

Which was why he’d made ‘reservations’ at a restaurant that ordinarily he wouldn’t have been able to afford and actually put more effort than usual into appearance that meaning that he’d swapped out his designer tracksuit for an unbuttoned white dress collar t shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, black creaseless formal trousers, and matching black dress shoes to suit the occasion. Shooting the rightfully terrified help the occasional threatening glare along with a glimpse of his safely concealed gun, that was insurance enough alone for his order of whiskies to come coming and champagne on ice to be waiting for the female whenever or if she choose to arrive. 

Amy quickly turned her body and caught Sonya in her strength pulling her into a hug, while turning her green gaze upon the head of the three. "His public memorial service will be handled by the Acorn family. After all, Sonic was a hero to ALL of Mobius. I would not want you all to miss it." A smile that never once touched her gaze formed on her face. "But thank you for being considerate of us and our feelings. Not many understand what we soldiers go through on a day to day basis, especially when we put our lives on the line to defend your freedom. Sonic made the ultimate sacrifice for that cause. Try to remember that your freedom of expression was bought with blood. Every one of your privileges is." She gave the leader one final look then began to try and lead Sonya away.

Amy's eyes zeroed in on the three teeny bops and she glanced around until she spotted a confection stand and bought an iced coffee, then turned and made a beeline for the three girls. She held the cup casually at her side as she neared them,, keeping her gaze away so they wouldn't think anything and then 'tripped' making sure to aim the dark cold liquid at the bimbos, and squeezed the plastic cup for good measure. Wasn't it a shame that coffee stained?

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! Are you three alright? I'm so clumsy. Oh gosh. I'm such an idiot." Big fat tears rolled over her cheeks as she cried, drawing the attention of other patrons of the rink. " oh that's going to stain. You should get that cleaned quickly. Please send me the bill. Here's my card." She held out her business card.

Shadow granted her permission to pour out her sadness by not speaking a word and listen to her woes, he knew this was necessary, those tears are never going to be free if she wasn't able to release her emotions. The black hedgehog didn't know how to handle this, he's never had to comfort someone else who's lost a loved one before, no one was there to do help him out of his trauma when Maria died, how can he give someone a much needed emotional support when he's never experienced by someone?

Perhaps Maria would have an answer, what would she say?  Shadow continued to stare out into the sky, all he could think about is remembering what she told him on that day, give people on this planet a chance to be happy "Dedicate yourself in honoring his wish for the rest of your life, do that and he'll never be gone.." projecting his thoughts about Maria on Sonya without looking at the fennec, it may not be the appropriate answer he could think of but he tried.

Ripper watched on as the Porcupine started to move the air around him, noting that the magic was relative to the powers the other sea creatures had... "..." Then he leaps up to another open jaw and grabs the tooth, getting onto the head. He admires some of the greyish, worn silver with the gold on all the faces and grips a hole in another mouth opening as he swings across to some vines. Looking like an actual adventurer!
