He has to admit there was a thrill to it. The fights, the way they started falling into sync with one another, slowly but much better than the rough start. It reminded him when they were both fighting side by side, powered up by the Emerald. Of course, there were still a few kinks to smooth out, but getting Shadow to say something back after the endless quips Sonic had been making, felt like a small victory on itself. He's definitely banged up as well, although probably less than you since you kept covering for him, even if less than before. He still noticed. It makes him feel a little frustrated, not gonna lie. Not that you helped-- just that he needed it. But he had been focusing more on the fights to compensate. Still, the monsters they had been facing after they hit the fiftieth level hadn't been exactly easy, so the bruises had started to ache more than you could normally ignore. The kind that stay with you even after the adrenaline fades a bit.]
C'mon, we already got this far. It'll be dumb to quit right now, when there's only one more left!
[Still, in the long moment it takes for the terrain to shift and rearranges for the final round, he opens the only other trail mix bar he had been carrying and, without a word, he snaps it cleanly in half and holds one piece out to you..]
Here, take it. [He's not asking this time, he's giving it to you.]
