The shadow hedgehog seems to take Shadow's reaction entirely in stride and, in fact, he does. He just watches him, emerald eyes bright and shrewd all the while, taking in every little shift in stance and eyes and expression. Always watching. He smirks a little bit as Shadow speaks again and he chuckles, low and dark and silken.
"And I do not care whether you believe me or not, Shadow." he says back, simply and smoothly. He shrugs, softly, at it, staying close to Shadow and obviously not being intimdated by him in the least, himself. "It does not matter if you do. This place will prove the truth of my words for me. If you do not believe me, I am sure you will believe the others here."
He grins then, sudden and sharp and chuckles, knowingly, eyes bright.
"I can think of one resident you will trust in particular~"
