[Although coming from Shadow's phone, and using his username, anyone who knows the hedgehog will be able to tell this isn't him.]

How do you get a grumpy person to make friends? I'd like to meet more people, so should he right?

And I didn't sign him up for that friend thing because I like not being punted, I bet he would totally punt me.

[Now how the hell the chao was able to type this without fingers is anyone's guess.]

He's like... The size of three of me, maybe four! And I like not being punted, heck he lets me do whatever I want normally but I don't want to push it.

[mushroomaficionado]

Dear that wouldn't be good, being punted by someone like that.

Though if he leaves you alone, wouldn't you be able to go out on your own and meet different familiars?

[ringsthatbind]

[It's not that much of a thing, Shadow's only 3 foot 3, the chao is tiny.]

I'm not what you'd call an uh, tough? Familiar, so I try to not wander too far away from him.

[Chompy is kind of a wimp.]

[mushroomaficionado]

That is a difficult situation.

Perhaps you should bring the friends to him then. Somehow.

[ringsthatbind]

I could try, it might be awkward though. Because he's awkward, with people.

[mushroomaficionado]

Even an awkward person can learn not to be so if you give them time.

[Azul was like that after all and now most of the time you wouldn't know it.]

[ringsthatbind]

Maybe, he's also old. And old people are stubborn.

[mushroomaficionado]

An older gentleman than, isn't it?

Yes, they can be. But everyone has their price as they say.

[ringsthatbind]

There is nothing gentle about him!

And man, I don't even know if he has a price. He only spends money on stuff he needs, and that isn't a lot.

[mushroomaficionado]

If I may be honest, your friend sounds a bit, well, dull.

[ringsthatbind]

Oh yeah, considering all he does is work and train. He barely sleeps or eats, just works and trains.

[mushroomaficionado]

He might need to work on expanding his horizons a bit then.

[ringsthatbind]

Now that seems like more work than I'm willing to do, I just want him to meet new people is all.

[mushroomaficionado]

I would have to agree since it sounds like he's being very stubborn. Ultimately, he has to want it on his own, on some level. Regardless of what he says.

[ringsthatbind]

[An unheard weh from the chao at that.]

So it's just a waiting game then?

[mushroomaficionado]

Unless you are willing to take a risk.

[ringsthatbind]

Buddy, making this post is a risk in itself.

[mushroomaficionado]

Then you shouldn't hold back. The consequences are just the price one pays.

[ringsthatbind]

The price I pay is possible punting!

[mushroomaficionado]

Exactly! But if it gets you what you want, what's a little pain?

[ringsthatbind]

Yeah except, pain hurts. I like not getting hurt.

[mushroomaficionado]

Don't we all?

But personally, I think boredom and predictability is even more painful.

[ringsthatbind]

I dunno, there are some weirdos out there.

And I'd take that if it meant meeting more people!

[mushroomaficionado]

This is a weird place.

So you want to drag him to a coffee shop. Somehow.

[ringsthatbind]

See that could work, if he drank coffee.

He eats it instead.
