"Hey, I was kiddin'!" Ah, but he looked like he was already drifting off. Was he a babysitter now or what?

Sonic treaded carefully to where he had his blankets stashed away for safe keeping. Some squirrels were keeping an eye on them for him, so he had little to worry about. You ever tried to fight a squirrel guarding something? Go on. Give it a shot.

Suspecting tonight was going to be uneventful and likely just spent resting, Sonic approached his bark safe and waved off the little puffy guard coming out to check on the intruder in her tree. The Werehog offered her a smile to deactivate the alarm and dragged out a set of blankets, letting what Shadow had left with him tumble out onto the forest floor.

Working with just the one arm that didn't have a baby hogging it all up, Sonic spread the thick blankets thin, smoothing them out and removing branches, rocks, and other hazards from beneath it that could cause them any comfort issues. Once that was done, he finally reached back, nudging his fingertip into the little dark ball occupying his fur. He kept his claw angled up, afraid of poking him.

"Hey. Y'better not be droolin'."
