OPEN POST
Catch-all and open post for Shadow! Text, brackets, prose, images! I'm fine with anything. I can take him from any canon point, send me a PM if you'd like to discuss or check out my info page!

[ remember, shadow comes and goes as he pleases, the only reason he needs to leave this place is that it's pretty limiting to what he does. the sworn loyalty of lancelot does not match what shadow would do himself, and so the charade gets tiring after awhile.
he has nothing to pay forward aside from doing what comes along, as for blaze, there are her citizens. ]
You can.
[ that or he runs it off, but what stands out to him more is: ]
You can use your emeralds to get around, did you lose them on landing here?
no subject
When I awoke here, I did not have them. I can only imagine they're being safely guarded in the palace as we speak.
[ that's what she had arranged for, after, in the event of her absence. as unfortunate as it is that she can't be the one to guard them now, that's the very reason why it's so important for her to return. she wants to ask him: does he have no responsibilities? no duties? but for now, she bites her tongue.
she is in no position to look a gift horse in the mouth, so to speak; she has no reason to question his motives if he is offering his help. ]
What of yours—the Chaos Emeralds?
no subject
[ a simple answer for a simple question, he appeared here without, but this world must work on some sort of power source. there has to be something close to the emeralds, but if not that, his eyes drop down to the sword at his side. ]
I woke with this, but nothing more.
[ he unsheathes the blade, it's sharp end shimmering under the sunlight before he brings it down back to the holster. ]
It must have been the same of you.
[ if she doesn't have hers. ]
no subject
[ the sword at her side feels heavy and unfamiliar, and blaze can't say that she feels particularly safer for it. she's much more used to using her body and her flames to protect herself, as demonstrated by their own fight. still, she notes the timing of his bringing them up and nods, leaving her own blade sheathed.
instead, crosses her arms, thoughtful. ]
Then the Knights welcomed me into their ranks, and I thought to learn more of this place from among them. Including a way back.
[ of course... ]
When that information did not arise, I made a decision.
no subject
[ think of all the kids who loved percival, but that's not what he's getting at here. with her mask ripped away, they're liable to create other issues. if she's not percival then who is she, and what of the knights? they'll have someone attempt to best them at every turn.
those that would wish to return to the world that she speaks so highly of. ]
The swords are highly sought after, aren't they?
no subject
[ she supposes it wouldn't be an undue suspicion. a knight guards their weapon as closely as that weapon guards them—those of the round table only seem to take this lesson especially seriously.
blaze's hand rests on the grip of her own sword, laevatein, as she thinks it over. ]
no subject
[ why does she think he's been keeping his own blade on him. the hedgehog places a hand on the handle. ]
These are connected to this world. We'll have to take advantage of what we have.
[ that being said, he glances towards blaze unimpressed. ] However, we don't know what you because of your sudden outburst.
no subject
[ one door closing means another one will open, as they say. blaze doesn't particularly see a problem with her actions because of this, and the fact of the matter is that they will be stronger together than they would be apart. this is at the forefront of her mind as shadow brings attention to their swords even more so.
anyway, she doubts shadow would have taken the initiative to approach her had she not done that. ]
In any case, now that I have you listening, I will repeat myself: I've found something of interest too.
no subject
[ there were many others ways to work together, instead it initiated a fight which could have led to her a little broken in a few places she wouldn't like.
also, his willingness to help isn't that strong depending on her resources. ]
What did you find of interest?
[ he sighs, not caring but also there's a small hope that it is useful. nothing in this place seems to be helpful when he wants it to be. ]
