Smile when your Heart is Breaking and even though your aching.
Under a shady tree not far from some spot between one of the Cafe's and a announcement, or pin/cork board a black German Sheppard is nudging a pretty descent size cardboard/shipping like box into place. There's a quilt mostly covering the top, The smell of cheese crumpets and some other baked goods waft up from inside. There's a medium size dry erase board and marker hanging from a tack outside. With the question, 'What do you do when your feeling down?, In the Dumps or Melancholy? ' She checks to make sure it's secure before hoping inside. An ear twitching or eye mite be visible now and again. But mostly she'd curled up feeling emotionally and physically drained, her head pillowed on a lovely blue scarf. She lovingly rubs her check against the soft cashmere.
Which was on of the last gift's she'd gotten from a dear friend and heart brother and a well loved home made plush mouse, in a deerstalker and tweed outfit. She gently gums at an ear perhaps out of habit or thought between Half heartedly trying to nibble on a snack, and laying a bit listless. Half hoping..she mind see a friendly face or two while the other half doubted anyone would be bothered or care to notice. A part of her trying to hold onto hope another part felt like she was running on fumes. A person could only take so much heartache let alone doing one's best and failing for the most part over and over again.

"Ah..well that's good." She murmurs softly with a happy wiggle of her ears. As she listens raptly crossing her fronts paws for a moment."Well if they do your all more then welcome to come visit my den." She murmurs and makes a mental note to give him directions when she has a spare moment or..show him whatever he fancied if he was still here when Dor got back. She chuckles softly. "Maybe for sleepovers?" She half states half asks.."Or pj parties can be fun I've been to one a while back. " She informs warmly.
She nods understanding, "Practice and patience..mite be key to that..though..you can't say run before you know how to walk dear." She murmurs gently. Though after dealing with ..Mister Bushy Stach she doubts he'd deal well with 'tests' per say..Though she can always ask questions..and see what his feelings, experience and such was or starters. "Sounds..like you'd need a Sonic version..of erm...A Danger Room like the Xmen to train..or.." She taps her chin in thought.."Some such." Or a Speed Lab like Barry and the Star Labs Gang had.
She smiles warmly and nods, "Aye..certain things are very much tied to that. Other things..can be..more complicated." She murmurs even as various ideas she'd like to look into floated about her brain a bit. She'd have to try and get in contact with a few folks though.
Her eyebrows go up and she snugs a little tighter or closer to his side. At hearing this especially. She whines softly and nuzzles him."Poor Sonic..you need to be careful.." She murmurs gently in caution. She gently nudges her container closer to him in offer. Wanting his little tummy warm and full. She smiles softly at his warm laugh her tail wags a little.

The speedster laughed though at the talk of powers and patience. "I'm not really known for patience..." He joked with a grin. "Though having a super secret danger room sounds really cool! Maybe someday I'll find a place to try and figure out my powers." Especially a place without having to worry about consequences due to accidents. He did understand the value of practice though.
Sonic popped the rest of the crumpet into his mouth when Ash snuggled into him with open concern. He grinned a little sheepishly, not wanting to cause worry. He just felt so comfortable with her that he found himself talking about things quite easily. "It's okay! Now that I'm with Tom and Maddie, food isn't a problem." He reassured. "I still like naps though." He chuckled at seeing the tail wag and gave the shapeshifter more ear rubs.
"Have you been waiting out here long?" He wondered curiously. She had said she was waiting for her mate and her pack. He was more than content though to stay for as long as she wished though for company.

She hums and tilts her head. "Never too late to learn Blue." She murmurs warmly trying the nickname on for size. She chuckles.."Aye..or least a bigger headquarters." She nods half in thought but heck she wouldn't mind a set up like Charles Xavier had someday a nice house and facilities part at least..not the other..issues. "Well let me know if there's any likely prospects..me and Dor be happy to help ya check things out." She offers warmly and sincerely.
He had heard rumblings..of someone building research facilities..She swallowed thickly sometimes approaching people let alone with only a tentative plan could be daunting..perhaps if she could find a research partner or two. Folks she trusted and who were wicked smart.
She gently rise to nuzzle him again. "Well that's good." She murmurs..Yes little ones and fuzzies were a bit of a weak spot for her. She leans into the pets and her tail increases it's wagging. "Yes, naps good for you. Everyone should take em and have snuggles." Would make the world better off if ya asked her.
She looks thoughtful for a moment. "Not very long today..Dor dor gathering some things perhaps.." She pauses for a moment trying to think how best to word. "Perhaps Sonic come to dinner sometime?" She asks hopefully. "Ever make..smores?" She asks warmly.
So sorry for the long wait! <3
Sonic smiled at the nuzzling. "I'm getting to like snuggles. I just haven't had any when I was on my own. But I do like'em. I had almost forgotten how nice it was." He sighed in a soft content sound. He did look a little surprised though at the invite to dinner. "Oh! That sounds fun." He said with interest, though he was surprised at the offer considering they had just met. But this was food and involved new friends and fun. So he was always up for something like that.
"I've never made s'mores. What are those?"
Re: So sorry for the long wait! <3
She grins at that. Her tail wags a bit. "And anytime..of course..everyone..needs someplace like that." She murmurs especially when one was new at a skill etc. Misfires happened after all..and safety was something to consider. But those in need of practice and otherwise.
She blinks and looks touched and pleased by this with a warm little smile. "I'd be happy too.." As soon as things..got semi back to normal that is. But his presence was helping quite a bit in making her feel better. She gives her new little blue buddy a fond squinty happy look."Am sure we can learn all sorts of things from each other." She murmurs..That's how a good team worked after all.
She smiles softly. "That's good.." She murmurs soft and pleased. "Yes..tis hard..under such circumstances." She murmurs in soft understanding. She blinks..Held her breath for a moment and then let it out softly trying to calm her nerves. Hoping she wasn't pushing..but then..hanging out at a cafe like this at the moment or something would likely be hard to do.
Though there were quite a few various kinds of creatures and critters about..So maybe..There could be one somewhere. "Oh goody." She murmurs warmly her tail thumping a little bit.
Plus she felt more able to protect her little blue friend in a smaller known space. She softly squints and scents the air again. Because one never knew..nor could be too careful. Even if...Most folks she'd run across so far were fairly decent. Key word..Most.
"Ooh you haven't?" She asks softly. "Well there a graham cracker, marshmallow and chocolate semi-melted together like..a um gooey dessert sandwich." She does her best to explain.
