[Tails nods at the first part and bumps his head into Dorothy's hand when she pets him. Affection!!]

I think family is what you make of it, anyway. Sonic's family has never been his by blood. Knuckles' was, but he lost his at a pretty young age. And mine... Well, I don't see them anymore and I don't have any plans of going back. So what's important to me are the people I've met here in this world.

I'd... really like that, Dorothy. It means the world to me that you'd ask and consider such a thing to begin with!
