[ little does she know, shadow knows how to be miserable without being told to. that was just a drop of weakness thinking that he could relate to rouge with this, but the difference is that her heart is stronger. she's blocked all opportunities to be hurt by things such as relationships with others. he doesn't look so deeply into it, besides, their lives are so different from what that wish to accomplish and achieve, but when they do cross paths like this then he wouldn't want anyone else by his side.
however, he response does catch him off guard.
shadow raises a brow confused by her reaction, really not too sure what he should take from it. rouge is a con artist, a manipulator of hearts, this is par for the course with someone like her to get her way. the difference is that he doesn't hear that lilt in her tone where he can tell she's attempting to take advantage.
he wants to ask if she hit her head, but now she's blaming him for not realizing something so simple.
if she wasn't so complex. if... wait, what did she say? it's not disbelief, but he's not too sure about this either. their relationship works on business, strictly that in order to keep things easily flexible between them.
rouge has joked before, but it's not something he thought she would say again in this context. ]
I shouldn't. [ those words come easy as he wants to correct whatever mistake she may be making, or already have. ] If you know what's good for you.
[ maria too believed that shadow mattered, slowly but surely shadow is starting to learn the more that people see less in him, little as possible will most likely keep them safe. that's what he thinks... it's all he can think because it's an option that hasn't hurt anyone else. ]
