Third Person POV
Shadow opened his front door allowing Eclipse and the others into his apartment, glancing occasionally around to check for details of an intrusion, once in a sitting room he gestured towards the long sofa while he sat across in a red chair, a small coffee table between them.
Shadow: "Eclipse, leave us for a moment. You can stay in the third door to the right while you wait."
Eclipse: "And do what?"
Shadow threw a box a cards at the darkling's face: "You can use these."
The younger boy huffed angrily as he went to the room.
Sonic: "Nice place Shads."
He had been admiring the decor for a moment.
Amy: "I had no idea you decorated your home... I kinda thought it would be kind of... blank."
Shadow: "um. Yeah."
Tails: "What should we do with him?"
The silence hung as the three looked at the dark hedgehog. All worried about how he will react....
Shadow: "He'll stay with me."
Sonic: "Shadow you don-"
Shadow: "He's my responsibility whether I want him to be or not."
Amy: "I'll help."
Tails: "Me too"
Shadow: "Rose, Miles... I can't ask that of you. He's my brother. I can handle him... mostly."
Sonic: "Shads. We are here to help you know..."
The ebony hedgehog shot a look at his blue rival, annoyed.
Shadow: "Rose may help. That's it."
Amy: "EEEEEEE! Thank you for trusting me!"
The darker hedgehogs ears burned from embarrassment as the pink girl happily hugged him in gratitude. Sonic gave his two tailed friend a knowing smile before nodding.
Sonic: "Alright, you two look after Eclipse while me and Tails, mostly Tails, fix Eclipse's ship Okay?"
The pairs nod at each other, before going to their assigned task.

Eclipse's POV
Stupid Shadow and his stupid cards in his stupid room with his stupid guests. I I wonder what their saying.
Shadow: "You know I can still hear you, right?"
Eclipse: "I wanted you to hear that >:)
Shadow: "Whatever, we are talking about you.. where do you want to stay."
He cares?
Eclipse: "With you, if that's okay."
Shadow: "... yeah. That should be fine. It's probably best I keep an eye on you.... now sever the stupid link."
Eclipse: "Fine ya big baby.🙄"
I severed the link.... temporarily of course, and played Lah Ku, or I guess solitaire if you wanna be boring about it.
???: "Eclipse, did you find him?"
I tensed, forgetting my mission for a moment.
Eclipse: "Yes Father."
