[There's a scattering of other people prowling around through the collection of vehicles, and not all of them are even human looking. Like the occasional giant robot.
Sephiroth is not a giant robot, and on first glance he can easily be mistaken for an ordinary teenager, on the small side, lean and clad in black nearly from head to toe. Ignore the sword that's probably ordinary too. What HE does not expect, wrench and screwdriver in hand to start pulling pieces off that same motorcycle that looked potentially useful, is to encounter a small black and red spiky monster.
Wearing shoes and gloves. Monsters don't generally wear shoes. Or carry keys.
Shadow is regarded steadily for a long moment through narrowed viper's eyes, the keys studied, then the hedgehog, then what the hedgehog is wearing again. The motorcycle looked like it might be a reasonable size for a hedgehog of about that height. No immediate attack from the hypothetical monster, which ... maybe it was domesticated? It didn't look particularly tame..
He knows what to do about hostile monsters. But non-hostile ones was .... harder. There's not a lot of protocol about that, and if this was someone's pet he really shouldn't just try to kill it.]
