"Blue thing? I'm a hedgehog!" Sonic called, having heard Lo and Lena had said due to his keen hearing. He made a couple of steps towards them, but stopped himself after he took those few steps. He didn't know if he could trust them yet, as they could be working for Doctor Robotnik for all he knew. Jerome hid in the bushes as he got closer, realizing that the voices didn't belong to other dogs. He saw Sonic and tilted his head in confusion as he watched the strange blue creature, wondering what it was. It didn't look human, with its blue fur and quills and other traits that differed from humans, but yet, the creature walked and talked like a human. Jerome saw the humans that were talking before Sonic spoke, but he paid them no attention as he tried to figure out what Sonic was.
