The Ruby Eyes of Affection

Stimulating similarities

Rob and Tails silently walked out of the stunning manor in complete silence. The kitsune was still furious with the brunet hedgehog and his mind continued running at a million miles per hour, attempting to find ANY logical way of protecting Sonic. He sent a cold glare straight to Rob's eyes, making him fearfully jump in the other direction.

"You know, I thought you would be a lot more confident and aggressive. You always gave off that kind of narcissistic aura. Guess you're just a pansy on the inside." Tails pestered furiously as he smacked the back of the brunet hedgehog trying to make him walk faster to his lab.

Thankfully, the workshop was right next door. But Rob was making it seem like it was miles away with how slow he was moving. The kitsune found it incredibly irritating that Miran's guardian wouldn't be just a tad more concerned with the situation. He practically MURDERED Sonic, at least in the fox's opinion.

"Heh? What are you talking about? I am confident. However unlike you, I do not willingly start conflict." Rob countered in a slightly sophisticate tone attempting to help Tails understand how childish he was acting.

"Hmm... Is that so...? Well I hope you learn from your mistake... You better be keen on working your ass off for what you've done, because I am not letting you off the hook." The kitsune replied before quickly unlocking the door to his lab and forcefully shoving the hedgehog inside.

"Oh really? I'm so scared... You do realize I'm obligated to protect Voziti, even if I don't like his shitty attitude, right?" Rob spat impolitely as he gave the yellow fox a stern stare in response to his vigorous pushing and shoving.

"Sonic is a wonderful Mobian, your just jealous that he's a much better protector than you'll ever be." Tails replied mockingly as he confidently marched over to his work bench to start working on some designs and concepts.

"Listen you little shit. I had no idea who Sonic even was when I was giving Robotnik Shadow's blueprints. All I knew was he was related to Gerald, hence meaning he could help me protect Shadow. That was all I was intending on doing and your shitty attitude is almost as bad as the blue peasants. So let's try to, at the very least, to get along a little so we may find a way to defeat that abomination from hell. You wouldn't want the prince being disappointed in you. Now would you?" The brunet hedgehog responded disgustedly as he swiftly sauntered over to the couch before plopping on it, stomach first.

"Wait, how did you know about Gerald?" Tails quickly glanced up from his designs with a stern almost skeptical look.

"Are you sure you're the smartest one of the group because you're acting especially stupid. I am Miran's guardian, I know everything about him. Where he came from, who created him and why." He replied mockingly as he grabbed one of the pillows and shoved his face into it as he continued to lie on the couch belly down.

He was starting to get slightly emotional again. In a way, he felt like no one cared. Not even Shadow understood the situation... He knew he needed some kind of support and as he lied there, decided he might go talk to that pink girl. She was obviously just as upset as he was, if not more.

"I know you know that, but how and where did you get that knowledge in the first place. And don't get cocky with me. You're still the one who screwed up big time, not me." The kitsune mocked annoyedly before pulling out his ruler attempting to draft some designs but instead got a face full of discouragement.

He was thinking about maybe creating some kind of machine, but realized two weeks would just not be enough time. He then thought back to the Chaos Emeralds. Doctor Eggman had the only one they knew of. The rest weren't close enough to locate since the Chaos Emerald Locator could only see emeralds a certain distance away.
