He nods. "Pride is a celebration on my Earth because humans are really dumb about sexuality and gender so like the past...I dunno, a bunch of decades, the LGBT+ take over June with a bunch of parades and events and celebrations and its a rainbow explosion all over the place, at least if the place is cool. Basically telling the jerk people they're here and deserve to exist and proud to be who they are," he said. "And you can absolutely have one, I cannot keep all these flags, I'll just start sticking them in random places in the city until there is a more reasonable amount."

"Hey, hey, its no worries," Sonic said, reaching over to pat his shoulder. "Turn those quills up. Just being here is enough. Its nice to see people care and want to spent time with us, especially since this was a little last minute. I don't think any of us are that fussed about presents. Sonic and older Shadow didn't even know I was doing this, and my Shadow is less used to presents than me, so really any presents are just a nice surprise."
