"Hi! This is Tails. Sorry I'm not here to answer you, but if you leave a message, I'll get right back to you as soon as I can!"

Yeah, or stomachaches. Stomachaches really bite.

[He's taking a slightly bigger bite, though.]

So.... so how're you doing, Maria? I mean, now that things have settled down a little.

Me? Um... I'm okay. I'm still a little shaken after everything with those plants, but I'll be okay.

[A small nod.]

Y-yeah...

I'm... the city's not always that crazy. Promise.

I know, Tails. I don't have any reason to not believe you. I just hope things stay quiet for awhile.

You and me both...

[He does manage a weak smile though, in spite of it all.]

...Thanks, Maria. For... for coming out. For doing all this. You didn't even have to...

[She takes Tails' hands into hers with a bright smile on her face.]

Tails, I don't abandon my friends when they need help. I want to do all I can to help you feel better. So you don't need to thank me for being a friend.

I-I...

I know. I-I know, I'm jus'... I'm sorry. I-I feel like...

[He fumbles a bit to find the words.]

[Aw Tails, Maria stands up and hugs him for a moment before pulling away.]

It's okay really, I understand what you're trying to say. You don't have to worry so much about it.

Yeah...

I jus' feel like I should be doing more. For you, for the other new arrivals, but I'm jus' so tired and all I can do is hang back. It's... it's a lousy feeling.

I know how that is and you shouldn't force yourself to do anything when you feel that way. So it's okay.

...Thanks, Maria.

For... for understanding that much.

[That being said... he'll get right back to eating. To trying to feel more like his old self.

One step at a time.]
