"Where have you been? It's almost past sunset now," Shadow admonished, his arms crossed in front of his chest and frowning as Sonic screeched to a halt in front of him where he had been waiting at the city walls.

"Eh, ran over the mountains, freed a slave camp, met up with the tribe of echidnas. Y'know. That sort of thing." Sonic gave a small shrug and a twinkling smile even when Shadow leashed him again without comment.

"So, what you are basically trying to tell me is that you haven't found or looked for the Emerald at all," the Ultimate Lifeform questioned dryly.

"Weeeell, that always depends on how exactly you define 'looked'-"

"Sonic." By now Shadow could only barely resist the temptation of yanking the leash sharply and make the blue hedgehog stumble in front of him as punishment.

"Okay, okay, no, I haven't found the Emerald. But, to be honest, I couldn't feel any indication of an Emerald nearby anywhere, so there really wouldn't have been much point spending more time looking," Sonic said, his tone less jocular now, before raising an eyebrow, looking at Shadow's empty hand. "However, can't fail to notice that you don't seem to have had much more success, my Lord and Master."

"Well, maybe not," Shadow admitted reluctantly, trying to conceal the brief flutter in his stomach he'd felt when Sonic had called him 'Master', no matter how much sarcasm that address had been loaded with. "So this day's mission was basically a failure. Hope you at least enjoyed your run."

"Hell, yeah. Thanks for asking." Sonic gave him a suprised but appreciative smile. "That's like, woah, almost a nice thing for you to say."

"You should be a comedian, blue hedgehog," Shadow muttered, before continueing louder and with an almost worrying smile: "However, before we return home, we need to take care of our alibi..."

Sonic didn't know why, but that sentence suddenly made him swallow.

"What the hell? Shads, this is an porn shop! What on Mobius are we doing here?!"Sonic hissed barely fifteen minutes later, standing in the doorway to which the black hedgehog had led him, but refusing to go in further.

"Stop making a scene, people are staring!" Shadow hissed back equally silently, underlining his command with a fierce tug on the leash to let Sonic reluctantly take a step forwards. "Remember how I said we were actually going into the city to buy accessoires for you? We can't come back empty-handed."

"You can't be serious." Sonic was in a disbelief strong enough to barely register how Shadow pulled him deeper into the store and only inwardly squirmed at the sights he saw. They weren't the only customers.

Contrary to his first comment, the shop didn't just sell porn but also a variety of toys and gadgets, albeit most of them looking a lot less sophisticated than their twentyfirst-century equivalents and mostly fashioned from wood, leather or a form of proto-rubber instead out of plastic.

Some of the gadgets Sonic didn't even know what they were. Others he could imagine but couldn't decide which was worse.

The blue hedgehog looked around at some of the other people in the shop and almost cringed. While a few of them were alone, most were in the company of their slaves, like Shadow. They passed an aisle where a Lynx was watching a collared wolf-girl walk around awkwardly, her cheeks flushed with embarrasment, and Sonic couldn't avert his own gaze fast enough as he saw why exactly she was walking so stiffly. Why would you even stick that in a female?
