Knuckles would likely feel very flattered if he knew her thoughts on the matter. He definitely considered her something akin to family too - He had no blood relatives so his friends had all been adopted as family, basically. And she was entirely right - if something was happening to Voile and he knew about it, woe betide the person doing wrong by her. One of the reasons he'd helped her get that cellphone.

"Yeah.... yeah. That's a pickle, huh?" Knuckles replied. He really couldn't relate at all - he had very clear definitions of what made him happy. And sad and angry and jealous and all those other things. "Gotta wonder, with all the stuff in this place, if there isn't somethin' to help with that. Some kinda... I dunno. Emotional Earmuffs to block out all the white noise."

He thought on it for a second.

"...emotional earmuffs just sounds bizarre. But you get what I mean. Right?"
