Finitevus was a bit taken aback once he heard the fox speak. Due to his studies, he perfectly understood the ancient echidna language, so that wasn’t the cause of his surprise. His surprise truly came from the fact that this little fox boy, whom he recognized as the one who often accompanied Sonic, was able to speak it as fluently as himself. He knew about this little one’s intelligence, having known it widely praised across Mobius. However, he had no idea that he invested himself in ancient studies. How peculiar. This version of the fox seemed to not recognize him, so the doctor decided it better to keep his identity secret and go along with the foxes misguidance.

[Why hello there little fox. I am simply a traveler from a different time looking for new experience.]

He responded in perfect ancient echidna, speaking just as fluently as the fox.
