Do I really look that out of shape?

[OH MY GOD SILVER IS THIS WHAT HE GETS FOR HIS EFFORTS???]

You complain a lot.

[...But he is trying to help, too.]

I'll be at your place in a few minutes.

Well. Yeah... Anyway uh, I'll see you then!!

[The door's open, so you can let yourself in when you get here! It's a lot brighter and cheerier in here, but the wallpaper is still all kinds of godawful.]

[It doesn't take too long for Silver to show up and head in- and as ridiculously bright as it might be in here, it's still kind of nice. Better than all grey and falling apart, right?]

Ryuunosuke?

[Silver himself is a little chilly, but you know, it could be worse. He hasn't turned his room into an ice palace yet.]

[That's really good! The coldness isn't all that great, but at least Silver's here and maybe he'll feel better after their totally awesome hike and all!!]

Hey, Silver! Are you ready to go?

[He actually is! Except for the fact that he's just wearing the usual thing + hiking boots. So he... kind of vaguely tried maybe?? Wow, good job, Ryuunosuke.]

Yeah. I brought some blankets and enough food for a few days.

[Wait a minute that's not what he-]

Are you gonna be warm enough?

Don't worry, I've got a jacket!

[It's actually a thick one because he hates being cold. It's thrown over the back of one of the chairs and he nods to it.]

And uh... how long are we going to be out there...?

[HE WAS THINKING LIKE AN AFTERNOON, OH NO...]

...You wanted to hike, right? The good spots are a few days away from here, unless we take Honchkrow.

[...]

That's why I was wondering if you could make it.

[He didn't... Mean that much, did he. Got it.]

We can just take a quick walk, if you want.

[..................oh my god]

Well uh, yeah, maybe let's just start with a quick hike? And then work our way up to the several-day-long hikes? That would probably be good?

...So I can get you on big week long hikes someday.

[That manages to warm up the air, if only a little, and Silver smiles briefly before heading back outside.]

Come on, let's go.

That's uh... a lot... but um, maybe? Someday?

[HE WILL PROBABLY DIE]

But yeah, let's!

[He's pulling his coat on and heading out the door quickly.]

[rip ryuunosuke 2017

Off they go! Silver lets out Weavile pretty much immediately, and he's pretty content with staying quiet for a while, but after a little while, once the two of them reach the woods, he starts to speak up.]

...I'll be okay. I'm sorry if I made you worry about me.

[Great start, Silver.]

[He's got his hands shoved in his pockets and he's sort of looking around at the scenery. This isn't so bad! Maybe he underestimated his ability to hike!!]

Oh, well, you don't have to apologize for that. I think it's pretty normal to be upset after something like that, right? I'm sorry I can't really do more for you. I'm really bad at this, in case it wasn't obvious!

It's okay. Gold's bad at this stuff too, and he doesn't even have an excuse. I doubt I'd do any better, either.

[...Although that's not the most reassuring thing to say, is it.]

I'm glad we're hanging out.

Well, trying's got to count for something, right?

[And Gold did try very hard. What a good friend...]

I'm glad we're hanging out too! I always really enjoy spending time with you.

[Silver turns towards Ryuunosuke, looks at him for a while, and... falls silent. He does too, but... Exactly how much more time does he have to spend with Ryuunosuke? He could disappear tomorrow, too. His thoughts on the matter aren't particularly a secret, either; there's hesitance all over his face, a sharp chill, and...

...And there's warmth, a lot of little electrical sparks, and Silver grabs onto Ryuunosuke's hand to yank him forward. Ryuunosuke did not sign up for running, but they sure as hell are running now.]

Then let's make it count.

[Silver's thought process isn't hard to follow, given what he knows of the situation. It's definitely true that any of them could vanish tomorrow - he could, Silver could, Tsukiyama could... But Ryuunosuke's never given it too much thought, simply because that's going to make him feel things that aren't excitement and that's no fun. So while he understands what Silver's probably thinking, he's not entirely sure what to do or say about it.

And then suddenly they're running and there's a sharp spike in the undercurrent of enthusiasm Ryuunosuke almost always has.]

H-Hey, c'mon! I might have really nice legs, but I'm not that fast!

[He's sort of laughing as he says it though, and he's already sparkling as he tries to keep up with Silver. This is way better than actually talking about it!!]

[This is absolutely better than talking about it. Not quite as good as fighting Tsukiyama, but still good.]

Careful, if you can't keep up, I'll carry you.

[Yeah, he'll carry Ryuunosuke, and then they'll get lost in the woods, and then... Some more running. Sure. They'll figure it out-]

Oh come on, don't do that! You'll totally embarrass me!

[He doesn't sound like he'd actually be embarrassed though, maybe. Embarrassment is one of those emotions he still doesn't really recognize until it's suddenly happening?? It's terrible. Would you do that to him???]

You'd only be embarrassed if Tsukiyama carried you through Verens.

[That said, he's stopping for a moment and showing Ryuunosuke his back.]

Hop on.

...Probably, actually...

[But since he's trying to catch his breath and Silver's offering, he'll take that offer!! Ryuunosuke's not too heavy, at least.]

You really need to get out more.

[Up Ryuunosuke goes, and Silver just runs- Weavile makes it into a race- or as much of a race as it can be, there's no way he could actually be as fast as Weavile, but he's sure as hell is going to try.

Moving is so much better than feelings.]

How's the weather up there?

[There are so many sparkles and now he's kind of crazylaughing but you know what, at least he's having a good time??]

It's great! I could do this all day! Or at least until you get tired!

Be careful what you wish for. I could do this all day.

[...He cannot in fact do this all day, but he sure as hell can try. I mean, it might help to try paying attention to where he's going, because right now he's also going to do this straight off of a ledge.]

Hah, well maybe you should— Silver!

[OHHHHHH GOD SILVER LOOK OUT WE'RE GONNA GO OVER!!!!!!]
