[...A lot of things?] ...Nothing. Nevermind. [He isn't going to press them further if they've already made up their mind about it. Them being standoffish about it doesn't surprise him really.]
I just wanted to inform you the area wasn't as isolated as it looked at the time we fought that bird. [And that's good enough. He wasn't going to, but things were escalating that he wanted to check if the other knew. Made aware. Each other's actions unfortunately intertwining as long they're both here. As for him...still thinking if he should go down or do nothing as well. ]
...I have things to do too. [He never set a time. Actual start time is whenever he feels like showing up somewhere anyway. Though he'll probably still be first at the site.
It can't be seen, but his expression might have soften a little. Something about this feels..it's hard to explain, but he likes whatever this is.]
As long as we get there. [That's all that matters.]
[ don't get used to it, it's only because the conversation isn't anything he needs to ignore. if the younger asked something stupid, then he would be the most obnoxious and annoying hedgehog to exist.
[His fingers nearly tapped the earpiece to end the call when the other's voice comes back through again. Confusion. Another moment to actually process what they were saying.
The stars?]
...I can show you. [Does he know how to display video?]
[Is it really more effort to turn on a screen versus a description? He doesn't say that, just finds the logic amusing in a way. Eitherway, he doesn't mind.]
They still shine just as brightly as do back home. Like diamonds. But they seem...more spread apart. [Maybe he's just imagining it, but it does feel like there are fewer stars in this night sky.] The skies are clear enough tonight that you can see some galaxy clouds too.
[ because when he closes his eyes and listens to him explain what the stars look like, shadow cam imagine them while resting.
he doesn't know if their homes are the same, if the stars shine as brightly as it does for the other hedgehog but he does attempt to imagine. the sky lit up with stars that turns that complete darkness into something with a tint of blue. ]
[It can't be seen, but he's frowning at the question.]
None that are familiar to me. You're from an earth, right? I don't see the stars that shape the Ursa Minor to locate Polaris. A completely different sky. [He may have to look into this at some point, if these new stars can be used to navigate.]
[ an earth, but earth enough. it's interesting to hear how someone sees the stars, because earth was a star itself for shadow earlier in his life. so to hear another person's perspective.
... ]
We're in a different dimension then if none of the stars are as you know.
[There might have been a little grumble on his end. He barely knew the earth he was on and now he has to think about dimensions, reflections of worlds that have their own Shadows. This is still weird. It's exhausting.]
Have you forgotten our first encounter already? [And being on a dying planet. It hasn't been exactly a very warm welcome to the concept of other dimensions, worlds, other reflections of himself. Other Marias. Kind of over it.]
...I just had other things to deal with than have to learn about all of this.
I know. [Yea, yea, he gets it. That doesn't mean he has to like it. He knows there will be more moments where he's not going to have much of a choice on things. He's used to that at this point.]
next time? it's not the first thing that comes to mind. ]
If you believe you're ready. [ ... ] Think of your questions.
[ and when shadow hangs up the call abruptly, it's not that he did it on purpose to upset him. rather, he should think of the things he wants to say. ]

no subject
Are these your concerns?
[ must be. to reiterate there were people and how large the snakes are, it gives off that someone is worried. ]
I chose that area believing it wasn't used. I stand corrected.
no subject
...We did have a hand in it. [They cant't exactly make a wild bird fix things, can they?]
no subject
but, he did play a hand. ]
Alright.
[ ... ] Then you'll do your part.
[ what sounds like the other is insisting he's not going. but... ]
What day are they starting?
no subject
Tomorrow.
no subject
[ because he has business to look into, but he doesn't elaborate, it's more so to tell the other if he isn't there on time there's a reason. ]

There is no "we". Ensure that you make it.
[ like that. annoying, and right. ]
no subject
Right. [If there's nothing else, the call will end there.]
no subject

I can't see them.
[ ... ] The stars. What do they look like tonight?
no subject
The stars?]
...I can show you. [Does he know how to display video?]
no subject
There's no need for the effort.
[ hm. ]
You can describe how they look to you.
no subject

Hm. The constellations?
[ just a few questions. ]
no subject

We're in a different dimension then if none of the stars are as you know.
no subject
Speaking from experience?
no subject
is he speaking from experience or is he just aware? shadow doesn't give much of a response. dead silence on his end of the ear piece until he sighs. ]
Hm.
[ it's not much, but he acknowledges what's said. ]
You aren't fond of the concept.
no subject
...I just had other things to deal with than have to learn about all of this.
no subject
[ things won't be so... fair and happy, there aren't going to be times where things go his way. ]
Conquer the next world in your own way, and you'll be fine.
[ why else was everyone afraid of him or pointed him out. that was control and allowing himself to move how he wanted. ]
no subject
...Do you believe any of this? What Aurora said?
no subject
[ honest as it comes, immediate too. ]
She's done nothing to prove her worth.
no subject
Next time we cross paths- [Because it will happen.] I would like to hear your thoughts on the matter.
no subject
next time? it's not the first thing that comes to mind. ]
