At least Sonic admitted to that much. Yes, he did deserve it, and Shadow displayed agreement with the folding of his arms and the proudest smile he could muster. Ha. That'll show him.

At any rate, yes, it was all out of his system. He gave a curt nod, and just as soon after, he began to wriggle about in his grip, wanting to be released. Having Sonic holding him like this, especially given he was unused to childhood, never having been through it... Well, it felt awkward, you know? It wasn't necessarily bad, but boy, did it ever feel weird?

He couldn't wait to get back to normal size.
