Oh, is that all? You shouldn't worry, y'know. Eggman can't kill Sonic, so, that's not a problem. Besides, maybe what you just did isn't actually a bad thing... maybe you just gave him a reason to give US a reason to, y'know, pay him a visit.
Sonic can defend himself, but the havoc Eggman would wreak just to prove me wrong and himself right is what I am most concerned with. I don't want to see people hurt because of my own carelessness again.
Say Eggman decides to be really stupid and wreak havoc. It would certainly put an even worse label on him and whatever sort of face he's trying to keep here would be blown, so to speak. Or we could be proactive and make sure that doesn't happen, right? Try not to worry, Espio. It's gonna be okay.
[Worry. Right. He said as much to Silver, to give way into fear is already giving the enemy the victory.
It's hard not to blame himself, especially after everything that's happened. But he knows Amy isn't wrong.]
I concur, I would prefer to be proactive. And I have done my due diligence by informing everyone from our world, as they understand the threat Eggman is.
She doesn't make it easy, but it's good to not put too much pressure on it. She and Kit have endured much and I'm still learning how to work with them. Perhaps waiting until she chooses to interact with you may work best indeed.
I'm planning to assist Kit in baking a cake. I could read a recipe and memorize it no problem, but that does not account for skill and experience.
Kit wants to bake it himself, but I wish to be prepared in aiding him, so I would like an understanding of your approach. I can think of no one else more qualified.
Wow, that's so sweet of you, Espio! I'm so glad that you're there to help Kit and Surge both.
Goodness, Espio, thank you! That's so kind of you to say! I'll do my best to give you some pointers and tips. Baking is a science, but it isn't difficult if you have the right tools! Did he specify what kind of cake he was hoping to bake?
I don't know how successful I have been. I feel as though I'm often fighting with Surge than I am befriending her, but I think there's been progress. I just wish I could encourage them to trust more people.
I provided a few different recipes, but I'm going to encourage that we try to make one with three different flavors. I don't think anyone knows what her favorite flavor will be so if we could somehow make it a strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla cake, that'd be optimal. Perhaps that is too bold for a pair of amateurs?
She hasn't tried to kill you yet, and she's also allowing you into her space. That says a lot, Espio. Give yourself more credit, silly -- if anyone can get her to come around, it's you. If it makes you feel better, she and I really can't be in the same space. I blew up on her a few weeks ago and I feel bad about it now. So I've been doing my best to avoid her, I don't want to make things worse if that makes any sense at all.
Ooo, a neapolitan cake! That's bold, but it's doable. The vanilla cake should be the easiest honestly; if you can get your hands on vanilla bean paste that will help you greatly. Vanilla extract works too, but I find that vanilla bean paste gives it a bit more flavor, and you also get flecks of the vanilla bean in your finished product. Chocolate cake should be straight forward too -- get some coffee or espresso powder and that will deepen the depth of the chocolate flavor. Also, the highest quality cocoa powder you can get! The strawberry portion will be the most difficult in my opinion because it will require the most amount of work. Are you going to use real strawberries, or just looking to use an extract?
If you want, I'll go shopping with you for ingredients. I'd offer to come over and help, but something tells me that'd end poorly for everyone involved.
That still surprises me, admittedly. I struggle to imagine you being unable to befriend anyone. I hope that one day that will change between the two of you. Anyone with sense would know how lucky they would be to have your trust and support.
Have no doubt about ingredients. I shall be able to acquire them one way or another. I would like to use real strawberries, but I know that can be tricky to work with in baking. If you think it would be easiest to use an extract, then I shall do it.
Unfortunately, that would probably be the most likely case. Still, if nothing else, I would appreciate your guidance and company in person.
[Amy is going to one day find a notice left on the door of her home. It reads that she has several days to move her things out and relocate to her new home. If she needed assistance in moving, a number has been provided for the pelicans to come and assist! There is also a small map with directions provided to assist in finding her new home.
A cozy cottage size home will be found at the final destination, situated in wherever part of Eltrut the player wants it to be.]
Aww, that's super sweet of you, Espio! Thank you, I appreciate your kind words as always!
So, I actually just texted Surge and surprisingly she answered me! She mentioned something about the cake Sonic had at his birthday party? I didn't get invited to that particular party though, did you? Something about crushed hazelnuts on top of vanilla cake with chocolate swirls
[ Except, unbeknownst to Amy, it wasn't SONIC's party... it was Darin's. She doesn't know the lore with that though, thanks. ]
So, I have an idea! You could mimic that cake, but make it different so it's unique to her. Neapolitan cake with crushed hazelnuts and chocolate flakes on top, with a dark chocolate ganash center and chocolate frosting. You just let me know when you're ready to shop for ingredients, and I'll tag along.

Go see Sonic at his cabin. [Going with the assumption she already knows where that cabin is.]

Okay. Can I ask why?

I fear I may have taunted Eggman too much.
I said that he could not achieve his desire to kill Sonic, and he looked inspired.

Thank you, Amy.

Do you need me to come over? I can grab us dinner somewhere if you want.
no subject
I would prefer to meet outside of the house. It can be a bit tense with Surge and Kit at times.
no subject
Do you want to come over to my cabin instead?
no subject
I would, yes. Shall I bring anything?
no subject
Just bring your wonderful self! I've got some tea ready and some snacks, so no worries!
no subject
A fine evening we shall have, then.
