I'll meet you after work, then. By the tree, I guess.

[He likes the tree! Let's meet by the tree. ...Silver you don't eat cake in a tree- you're the actual forest child, of course you do.]

[...Silver, you'd better not be expecting to get Archer actually up the tree, because Archer is literally no fun.

That said, they'll be standing around below it, well before anyone could reasonably expect Silver's shift to be over; Kimbley's usually...surprisingly punctual, just because he's used to prison and the military before that, everything's always on a schedule, but Archer tends to like being early and so damn, they're going to be early, apparently.]

The kid's probably going to expect you to climb this thing at some point or another. You realize that, right.

[Archer is zero fun at all and he also runs on his own time which means they're here at least five minutes early.]

...I'm not climbing that tree.

[Oh my god no. Does he look like he grew up anywhere near a forest??? Tree-climbing is out of the question.]

[Silver and Honchkrow aren't exactly early to show up; Silver gets caught up in a conversation at the end of work and takes a little too long looking at the cakes. But he does show up, and he shows up with two boxes of cake. ...And Honchkrow greets Kimbley long before Silver actually reaches either of them by flying right up to him and crowing at him a lot. Hey buddy! Hey!]

Hey-

[Holy crap, huge bird -

...so is it a bad idea to headbutt the bird because that seems to be his standard way of initiating conversation, by greeting it directly with his face

...

we're gonna do it, we're gonna headbutt the bird

archer i'm so sorry that you have to witness this]

[...is it too late to go home and pretend this never happened.]

What are you doing.

[It's not even a question. He sounds so done already. Why is this his life, what did he do to deserve this, etc.]

[...Oh heck yes, Honchkrow is headbutting Kimbley right back!!

In time for Silver to show up.]

Careful, buddy. Don't get him too hard.

[Alright, alright, he's had his fun, he'll just sit on Kimbley's head instead.]

I brought cake.

[...Well, Kimbley has...recently had his hair whacked off again by Greed, so it's not like it isn't a convenient place for birds to hang out or something.

Anyway.]

Don't worry about it, Archer, I'm friends with this one.

[Isn't that right, Honchkrow.]

...Anyway. No delivering it straight to the intended location with the fun police around, but I'll let you do it after a bit, okay?

[Well as long as Kimbley's not getting killed by the murderbird it's fine, maybe.]

"The intended location"?

[Does he even want to know? He suspects he doesn't.]

Good evening, Silver.

[He's trying to be civil! Look at that. He's not even frowning as much as usual. Progress...??]

[...You know, Silver would comment, but he's had the same hairstyle since he was two, so he's the last person to say anything about anyone's hair.]

Yeah, straight to the face. Why do you think I brought cake?

[He grabs one of the boxes with one hand and holds it out to Archer.]

I can't deliver yours to the face though. Kimbley said so.

[...CHILD...]

Never let it be said that I don't look out for you guys.

...I... Alright.

[He's getting a headache already, good job everyone.]

You didn't have to get me anything, but thank you.

[...holy shit strawberries hell yeah he's gonna enjoy this later!!]

[It is the most obnoxiously strawberry cake he could find.]

No problem. Enjoy it.

[And as for Kimbley, there's... The chocolate adventure. Chocolate cake, chocolate icing, chocolate syrup drizzled over it, chocolate shavings, chocolate.]

[...he may literally die. praise.]

...Kid, that is absolutely ridiculous, I'm proud of you.

...You're going to be sick.

[He would have said Kimbley was going to die (because he probably is) but it's Too Soon.]

Chocolate's good for you. It's good for your soul.

[That said, he's making his way over to the tree.]

You guys enjoy your cake. I'll be up here.

[Because god damn, it is so nice to have a tree in the middle of Verens that he can just climb, so he'll do exactly that, much like the actual forest child he is.

...Honchkrow's staying with Kimbley.]

[Well, he'll watch Silver just...do that, like the socially-challenged thing that he is, before kind of glancing at Archer.]

Care if I join him? I'll be careful with it, and I'm pretty sure Honchkrow won't let me fall, anyway.

[...It's actually really nice that Kimbley asked and it doesn't take him long to nod.]

Go ahead. I'll be furious if you fall.

[So don't!! He's staying put down here, of course.]
