Surge!

[ somewhere in the background, there's a rustling, and kit comes into view of the camera. he glances between the shellphone and surge, before his attention finally settles on eggman on the other side of the call. ]

I told you to leave Surge alone! [ and to surge: ] Don't listen to him, Surge.

[ instead, he'll reach over and take the phone from her hand, dropping it face-down on the ground so that he can wrap his arms around her in a hug. it stings. it burns. but does it burn for her, too? at the realization, kit jumps back. ]

A-are you okay? Don't worry. I'll get rid of him.

[ maybe hugs... aren't the best solution he has on his arsenal, and there's an anger that bubbles in the pit of his stomach at whoever has done this to the two of them. now, though? now there's someone else kit is mad at here too—he may not have done the brands, but he's the reason surge is upset in the first place, and kit snatches the phone up from the floor, giving surge her space and scowling at eggman instead. ]

What did you say to her?
