[Definitely stupid things. Especially by Robotnik's exacting standards]

You don't have to worry about ME, Doc. I'm not gonna break anything, I promise! But I can't promise anything for when I'm unconscious. [and that thought sort of scares him] .... not sure I wanna risk it by sleeping, but.... Not sleeping also bad!!!

[evilgrows]

That's precisely why you'll be under surveillance. Now that I'm prepared for the possibility of another outburst, I'll be able to keep you subdued if anything does happen, and then we can figure out what to do about it from there.

[He closes up a panel on the side of the machine he's been working on and it turns on. Good, that's one more thing that's back to functional.]

This isn't a sleep deprivation experiment.

[Subdued. Surveillance. Sonic doesn't like those words too much, and he looks away for a moment, concerned expression easily readable thanks to his new eyes]

.... Ok. I'm not ready to sleep yet, though. [so instead, he goes to the bag that he brought with him and grabs his laptop, then plops down on the floor with it]

[evilgrows]

[Robotnik sees Sonic's concern and... well, basically ignores it. C'mon, it's not that big of a deal. He shrugs, tapping at the computer on his wrist.]

Let me know when you are. I'd love to see how that function works.

[That is, of course, the most important thing here.]

In the meantime, I still have to clean up your mess.

[endlesspastability]

... Sorry, about that....

[he rubs his neck and head sheepishly]

I'd ask if you want me to help you clean up, but you'll probably say something like-- [he mimics Robotnik's voice in a dumb kid way] "NO THATS DELICATE DON'T TOUCH IT YOU'LL BREAK IT". Am I right?

[evilgrows]

What do you know! You're actually right about that one. I do not trust you not to go on an accidental rampage in an attempt to help.

[He's imagining the worst Rube Goldberg device of things falling on more things... ugh.]

You can help by not making things worse. Can you manage that?

[endlesspastability]

Hmmmm... [Sonic taps his chin with one finger, then nods]

I think I can manage that!!

[by sitting here and not touching anything!!]

[evilgrows]

I'll be the judge of that. [He does not sound confident in Sonic's not touching things skills.

Still, it's the best he has to rely on, so...]

Maybe if you can prove you can cooperate, I'll let you watch. You probably do need to learn this kind of thing in order to do self-maintenance.
