Knuckles replied, leaving it at that, not wanting to probe any further.
"At least you're getting a break from it now, right?"

"I would say I'd be willing to help you out, but I guess the last thing you need is me adding another complication to your situation."
The echidna shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
Knuckles
"you're right. . . . . i /really/ needed to take a break. the eggman from my universe has been non-stop with his attacks. . . . meaning i needed to take out a base. . . but more keep popping up. it's almost endless," she muttered, gaze downcast and mouth drawn in a frown.

"Eh, you don't need to worry about disappearing. Maybe you needed to take a break..."
"I'm fine, just doing my usual stuff, you know?"
Knuckles
"hey there, knuckles. long time no see! i disappeared a little bit there, but. . . . never mind that. how have you been?"
𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐍 𝐑𝐎𝐘𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐘
"Long time no see, Sal."
Smirking in her direction.
