[There's a small pause on his end before replying. Mecha and Maria were both holed up in the house? Well, Maria was quite sickly, he remembered, but he had not spoken to Mecha since their initial encounter.]
I know that you are more than capable of defending the place yourself, but should the need arise, I can head over with my Walker.
[There is a pause from Shadow's end before he answers.]
We can be an effective team. I request your assistance and in return will defend you as I defend the others.
On the condition you do not attempt to harm or harvest the hedgehogs, including but not limited to, the Sonics. A truce until the lights and sky have been restored.
[Frankly, he hasn't done a bad thing since he got here - and the only thing keeping him from actually trying his conquering is the knowledge of just how big of a mob he'd probably have barging down his base.
He wouldn't even need to be concerned about this - a truce could last longer.]
Very well. I won't ask about the 'harvesting' part, since I assume that's something from your world, but I will not harm the rodents or their friends.
[But of course, he has a reputation to consider - and he can't be seen paling around with (the) Sonic(s) and friends. Regardless, he won't let a child come to harm. Or Mecha, for that matter.]
I know she can take care of herself as well, but I need a safe place for Sage to stay.
Sage is welcome and will be safe here. Bring her with you.
[Honestly the harvesting thing will be for Wachowski's state of mind. Shadow is sure the Doctor could use those quills for quite a few inventions. Some might even be impressive. Still, the Doctor is a man of his word until the end for a betrayal twist. Though the Doctor would know better in this circumstance.
The Doctor can be counted on when needed. Shadow knows this.]
