Sonic's reflex was to lean back from his approaching digit at first, but he pressed right into it when he consciously concluded that hostility didn't exist. Sonic's lips were dancing with amusement as he hed back chuckles, and he stood as patiently as twitching toes would allow, waiting for Shadow's apology to complete. When finished, Sonic gave a playful flick to Shadow's palm as it hovered.

"I'll be back!"

And he took off, making a few stops along the way, but with one goal in mind.
