*smash faces together* now kith
*Espio and Silver are very close to each other. Espio can feel his heart racing, but he can't seem to pull away. He gulps, glancing at Silver's mouth, then back at his eyes* ... I.. I am sorry. I'll help you stand. *He starts pushing himself up away from the wall*
*Silver grabs his shoulder* Wait- *Espio stops, looking back at him. Silver blushes* ... Uh... Y.. You um.... You don't have to go away..
*Espio stares at him for a moment before he leans against the wall again, his horn brushing against Silver's nose* ...... This is improper..
*Espio moves a little closer, almost closing the gap between them*
*Sonic runs past, then backtracks when he spots them* Hey, there you are!!
*Espio jumps away from Silver, falling against the wall again a bit away from him* Sonic!! This isn't what it looks like!
*Sonic looks back and forth between them, then gets a smug little grin on his face, crossing his arms* Ooohhhhhh, I see what's going on here~ Don't let me interrupt, eheheheh~
Daaaaddddd!! *Silver hides his face in his hands*
*Sonic waves his hands, backing away* Nah nah. You're grown ups. Just uh... Didn't know if you were aware that the ship is going down? Kinda obvious, but uh... I can see you're busy~
*Sonic cackles and runs off to find his way out of the maze*
*Espio hugs his knees* ........ His timing is impeccable.
I knowww... *Silver glances at Espio, then at the wall* ... Um.... I.. Guess we should get out of here..
N- Yes. Yes we should. *He gets up, offering Silver a hand. Silver takes it, then levitates anyway*
Do you want me to lift you?
No, I can walk just fine. Thank you, Silver. *He walks easily on the slanted wall next to Silver. They go in awkward silence the rest of the way*
