Eggman arches an eyebrow. Sonic deferring to his genius was rare, but it still pulled the corners of his mouth from a scowl into a sneer.
He strides over and plucks the emerald from Sonic's hands and holds it up.
"So, you came to your senses then. Not quite as quickly as I would have liked, but I'm keenly aware of the fact that the only thing quick about you are your feet."
He had to play this carefully. He only had one chance to prove that he could be trusted with the emerald. And just because Sonic didn't think he'd be able to do much...Donatello on the other hand was sharp. Likely even more so than the Twin-tailed Tot that clung to Sonic's slipstream. If Donatello knew the potential of the Emerald, he especially would see just how dangerous leaving it in Eggman's hands would be.
He adjusts his glasses.
"Regardless of the interminable delay you've caused, I can indeed see several uses for the Emerald. I'd have to test it first, however. Given what I've learned of the storms on this world, I need to ascertain if the already chaotic nature of the emerald's energies have not been altered, provided they have been taken away completely."
