Airboarding

A new city, with new opportunities. If only Jet and Storm thought to show up too... Well, she'd make do without them for a while. But first things first, time to scout out the new city. Her Extreme Gear was charged and ready to go, and she flew from rooftop to rooftop, sailing across wide gaps, along the sides of buildings, maneuvering around to get her bearings. She could already see the opportunities. This was going to be a lucrative visit...

"Nope." Knuckles replied, walking to the edge of the roof and giving her a terrible grin.

"You showed up by yourself. I might not be the smartest guy around, but I'm not blind."

She had looked WAY too perturbed by that question. Oh man, this was way too good to pass up! It wasn't often he got one over on anyone. Time to relish the moment.

"You forget how to fly south for the winter or somethin'?"

"I told you, it's none of your business!" she snapped, angry at being called on her bluff. "Now shove off, I'm through messing around with a peabrain like you."

"Oh, yeah, you got way more important places to be, right?" Knuckles continued teasing. He was going to let the peabrain comment slide. For now. (For the record, he was at LEAST a bean brain. At least.)

"Look, I'm sorry. Shouldn't give ya a hard time. I got brought here without meanin' to as well. Sonic and Tails just came 'cause they wanted to." he shrugged. "Jet and Storm might wind up here too. You never know."

Wave crossed her arms in frustration. The idea that someone as stupid as Knuckles could have called her bluff, even one as weak as the one she gave him... It galled her. But he was being reconciliatory. It felt at least a little comforting to know someone sympathized with her on this...

...But she had an image to maintain. So in response, she scoffed. "Hmph. I don't need your pity."

"Good. Because ya don't get any." Knuckles replied with a shrug. "You and me aren't the only folks who wound up here without meaning to. Lots of students and teachers did and they just picked up and got on with it. You can do the same."
