"And you've been journeying the world since?" If she went home only to leave it again after its invasion, the odds were that she was a traveling warrior of some kind.
Perhaps she was looking for the people who had invaded her home to begin with.
"Yeah. I was able to save it from the tyrant who conquered it but he seeks other kingdoms to crush and take for his own. Eventually my friends and I just agreed to keep moving so we could prevent injustice where-ever it arises, even when it isn't Robotnik's work."
She smiled to Silver brightly, clearly quite proud of her accomplishments. "I'd like to be able to return and stay at Never Lake. But I have a duty to upkeep. And while I'm here, I should repay the hedgehog who gave me clothes by helping him in his duty, right?"
That coaxed a light smile out of him, at the very least. "I won't refuse help if that's what you'd like to do. Anyone would be happy to have such an accomplished warrior helping in their duty. Though I am surprised to have not heard of you before given your accomplishments." And front the sounds of it, she had accomplished far more than many he'd known.
He held a palm up. "But please don't feel obligated. I am only doing what I must."
"As am I! And I'm not surprised. We've been travelling for years, and it'd take at least half of that time to get home now." Distance is a reasonable excuse to have not heard of thngs, right? Still, he didn't react to Robotnik's name, so at least he wasn't the problem here.
"Besides, it'd be an honour to help a knight-to-be." Although when she gets home and tells the story, you're getting promoted to Sir Galahad of the Royal Guard.
He couldn't help but glance down. Knight-to-be was an awfully big compliment, one that he wasn't entirely sure that he deserved given his current level of experience.
"Then we'll make sure that you have a stay as close to your home as possible." He motioned to the end of the pathway where a tall castle surrounded by a gate loomed. "This is Camelot Castle. Please feel free to make yourself at home. I'll make sure that the King, Queen, and staff know that you're a guest. They'll likely want to talk to you."
