"I see. Perhaps it was a little hasty of me to ask anyway." *Knuckles said, looking between the two hedgehogs. They looked related, but how, Knuckles wasn't sure. He watched as Sonic got to his feet and shook out his fur, before going over to the other hedgehog. The blue male looked rather annoyed as he stood beside his relative, daring Knuckles to try to attack again. Knuckles glared at other male for a second, before turning his attention back to Sonya.*

"You might want to tell Sonic to looking at me like that. Unless he wants the rest of his teeth knocked out of his jaw." *Knuckles said.*

"Watch it!" *Sonic snapped, still glaring at Knuckles, his blue fur bristling and quills raised. He let out a growl, trying to let the Echidna know that he was protective of his only remaining family, that if need be, he would die to protect his sister.*
