" Hmm … well, 𝐈'd be cruel to keep you waiting for much longer, " She remarks fondly, straightening herself. Her hand take Scourge’s face with care, face slowly leaning in. Eyelids flutter shut, Tikal’s lips pressing to the hedgehog’s.

" What condition would that be? " Tikal’s face assumes a curious look, unmoving from Scourge’s own face.

" Maybeeee … you can take me to see that 'club' place you were talking about, " Tikal suggested, her smile growing while her own eyes peered into Scourge’s.

" Now you’re just being too kind, " Tikal reaches out her hands, playfully grabbing Scourge’s face to squeeze it. " You will find that 𝐈 have trouble taking so many acts of kindness! "

" You really are too kind, 𝐈'm merely just existing and here you are, giving me such kind names, " Her hands tug her dreadlocks in a gentle motion, placing them onto her reddened face.

" 𝐈 wouldn’t say that, but 𝐈 appreciate it, Scourge, " Tikal’s face flushes a bright red, a bashful chuckle falling from her lips. She turns her head away, chest heaving from laughter, " You’re too generous with me! "

" Hearing them now has made me happy enough, that 𝐈 just might run around in excitement for the rest of the day! You’re a sweet one, Scourge, " Tikal declared with a look of pride, unable to contain herself from hopping so happily.

" 𝙒𝙖𝙞𝙩! Don’t just depart so soon, 𝐈 missed you too! " Tikal went after him, making a bold move by jumping & opening her arms to wrap Scourge in a warm, loving embrace.

Tikal piped up, looking to where the stone hit, then at Scourge. Confusion gave way to happiness, & she instantly props herself up to dart towards the verdant hedgehog. " Sorry! 𝐈 just found something wonderful in this city! They sell these soft 'plushies' of toy animals! "

" Do you know any places with those beautiful flashing lights? 𝐈 always see them in the distance, almost like there’s a celebration, " Tikal curiously queried, cobalt irises visibly sparkling & full of awe.

" Whatever you choose will be alright with me either way. The world has more than enough sights to keep us both occupied, " Tikal mused without a care in the world, visibly at peace just by being in Scourge’s very presence.

" Where did you have in mind first? Figured 𝐈 could ask you to lead the way first. So you can show me someplace you like, " Tikal suggests warmly, linking her arm with Scourge’s instantly.

" You never have disappointed me! In fact, 𝐈 am incapable of feeling disappointment, " Tikal’s excitement started shining through, her little hops ranking up to big, jubilant jumps. " This is going to be beyond amazing! "

" Nothing would make me merrier than to have you by my side. We can learn new things together, & see new things too. The power 𝐈 have must’ve allowed me to once more have a physical form for a reason! "
