[ she's waiting to hear what it is starline left out of the data they saw from him. what's something they don't know that they can compare to themselves to see what connects them. what can he do? who is he?

the curiosity in surge's eyes only grow as she stares while taking another bite of her bacon until it comes from the other and she inhales. surge coughs, the dry piece of food caught in her throat as she bangs her fist on the table as she looks away trying to get herself together. after each cough, it turns into a chuckle, and then a full blown laugh. ]

W— WHAT!? Noooooooooooooooo!! Really!? Pfft..

[ surge clears her throat, looking back up at shadow's face and he looks so serious that it makes his confession a little more... funnier than it should be. ]

Why do you look like Sonic with a different paint job. The hedgehog form is really gassed up around here!!! Anyway, tell it to me straight, what is it about you that made him go "This individual has what it takes to be an asset in ending the Sonic Cycle."

[ she doesn't mean to laugh, but now she's focusing on catching her breath.

now she has to focus on his question as she tries not to laugh in his face because who knew he could do jokes? the form, alright. ]

Who doesn't? You sure was smackin' on those beans like they were the next coming of Chaos.

[ she's not on break, but she's done what she had to do back there to be given something to chew on. it's like taking samples but in really big portions, there's nothing here that the other probably wants. ]

You can't go wrong with somethin' fresh, trash food doesn't hit the same.
