Finally. After nearly three weeks on duty, he could finally relax... And Shadow's first and only destination was Green Hill. While it was somewhat famous, it was still a large expanse, not easily traversable, and therefore, mostly empty. With only the flash of light of his Chaos Control, the broken buildings and cracked, tarnished earth was replaced with lush greenery and waterfalls. Shadow stood still, splaying out his arms just for a moment to feel the oceanic breeze. This was all he needed. No camera, no picnic cloth, no food... The weather was forecast to remain clear for several days. It was just as expected... Or maybe not. There was a familiar signature on the island, one he did NOT expect to feel on this island of all places. He could've ignored it in favor of relaxing... But if there was one thing he knew about Silver, it was that he usually didn't come back to their time period without a purpose. Another warp and he landed within range of the other hedgehog... who was... relaxing? And... naked?? Shadow actually had to give himself pause to take in the sight. Silver was actually just lounging in the grass by one of the few fences built, and not a single article of clothing was on his body. In fact... his gloves and shoes were nowhere to be found. "Oh, Shadow!" Silver's voice broke him out of his stupor, allowing him to resume a more neutral stance. Though... he oddly felt a strange heat creep up his neck at the sight of Silver's bare feet. He had no idea what was going on, but would brush it off. "Are you here for sunbathing too?" "I wasn't... but I can see you're quite comfortable." That much was obvious. In fact he'd never seen Silver look so relaxed. Silver gave a chortle, one that seemed to, once again, give him an odd feeling. Just what had changed in him? More confident? Less naive? He seemed to have a purpose to every action now... He did hear that Knuckles had taken the gray male under his wing... was this his doing? "Well don't just stand there! Take your clothes off, come sit down!" Silver patted the grass next to him. "You look wiped, you need this more than me!" Ignore the heat... he just had to ignore the heat threatening to creep up. He stayed silent for several seconds before sighing, slipping his feet out of his shoes. Maybe a bit of time wouldn't hurt... perhaps he'd even get some answers as to just what was going on. |
