I've seen people get annoyed at how much Rouge is flirting with Espio in the chaotix casefiles but as a shipper I'm having the best moment of my life LMAO.
"But what about Knuckles" this is a team chaotix series, of course the characters will interact more with the main characters be so fr. Though hopefully Rouge will talk to the rest of the team soon (Please make Charmy happy and let him talk to her I feel bad he keeps missing her).
And shipping aside, she's being constantly paired with Espio because his character arc is about his insecurities about his ninja abilities, being in direct contrast with another spy that can do the same things as him but without the inferiority complex IS fuel for the plot. It's not just shipping bait, she's there for a reason and being paired with Espio for a reason. Please just trust the writers for once, she's not there just to look pretty, "Oh all she does in modern Sonic is being a flirt instead of showing her as competent and capable" as she's being constantly compared to Espio as being better than him, be so fr, she's the one getting the clues.
"But it's uncomfortable because he's not interested she's making him uncomfortable" it's valid to feel uncomfortable with all the flirting Rouge is doing, but is it not clear as day that Espio is not even realizing she's flirting? He can't be uncomfortable with it because he doesn't even know that she's interested in him. All he thinks is that she's a thief and wants to distract him from his team so she can do thief stuff behind their back. He's offput by her because he thinks she has evil secret intentions, not because of the flirting.
