Tasha's eyes widened as she saw the Sapphire Sonic. "Is that... is that what I think it is?"
Jayden sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I should have been more specific when I said 'hide'."
The girls immediately rushed over to the storefront, huddling closer together and keeping a cautious distance.
Jessica looked wary. "Should we be getting this close?" She asked. "Isn't it going to attack us?"
"No," Tasha breathed, utterly mesmerized. "It's a Sapphire Sonic. They're super nice, and very peaceful unless provoked. I mean, look at it... it's just watching us. It looks almost shy."
Cassandra let out a breathless chuckle. "I think it's a girl. Look at her face... she's actually kind of cute."
Tasha took a brave half-step forward and began making soft, clicking noises, using the universal baby-talk voice reserved for kittens. Skye merely blinked at her, refusing to leave the shadow of the mannequin.
