"For messing up, for dragging you into my problems, and for falling apart." Ajal spoke softly.

"I don't care that you messed up. Took me long enough to figure it out. I get dragged into a lot of things fifteen times worse then this, so don't sweat it. And.... Well, I won't judge somebody for something like that,"

Ajal looked suprised to say the least. "You don't care if I mess up? And I dropped my chaos emerald when I freaked out."

"No, no I don't care. It isn't my neck you're breaking," He said truthfully (Blunt to a fualt, yes, but honest), voice still lacking much emotion. "And I found the Chaos Emerald," He added, summoning the purple stone and holding it out in front of him for Ajal to take. "....But...I think you've had enough of mental strain for one day, and it's almost noon. Let's get outta here and eat something, take a break from Chaos Control-ing,"

Ajal nodded and took the chaos emerald. "Thank you. Please lead the way out this place is starting to close in on me again."

The echidna stood up and wordless lead him to the breech he made before.

Ajal fully calmed down when he was out of the underground.

"Alright. Imma go eat something. You can do your thing, Master Emerald's off limits, if I catch you there it's my jod to kick your butt," He said, trotting off.

Ajal's stomach growled. "Got it besides that thing gives me the hebegebes."

"It's not a 'thing'...." The guardian echidna grumbled.
