[Good question. He balls up his fists and closes his eyes for a moment, as if willing it away would make this entire situation, this entire conversation less real and he could go back to what he was going before, which... Was probably going to lead to Gold finding out in the first place.
He's so tired.]
Their leader's my dad, for starters.
[That's a hell of a secret to keep for three years.]
Oh, no way, you really hit the shit luck jackpot there, didn't you?
[Damn, that's rough.
... He can't complain about a single damn thing when he lines his shit up to Silver's ever, can he. That's irritating and so is Silver's stupid... Silverness.]
Were you gonna keep that a secret for the rest of our lives?
What was I supposed to say, Gold? Hey, I found my dad, but he's the leader of Team Rocket and I might be the reason they even exist, so I'm just gonna crash on your couch and forget about it?
[Maybe, just maybe, he wanted to pretend that he was normal, just for a minute, like Gold is. That he could have some nice life and happy family instead of all of this.
[It's a little uncertain because the conditions are... pretty dire, honestly. And he's not Crys about this; they both know someone's gonna snap sometime, it's the whole reason they've got each other the way they do. And their burn book.
But they will make it out, one way or another.]
... Do you know who your mom is? Or is it just your dad.
[... Is that weird to say. That feels weird to say. He'll move on, knocking a fist back against the door.]
Anyway, it's not like I don't wanna save the world, I just...
[...]
We're doin' it every year it feels like, you know? Something's always happenin'! We don't get to reap the rewards any! I feel like I haven't seen you and Crys in forever, you're both always too busy doin'... Crys and Silver things. I ain't like you two. [He doesn't have a purpose he's gunning after.] But if the world's in trouble, you know I'm the first to jump in. You can't get rid of me.

It's his problem anyway.]

[... Just like now, eck. This sucks.]
Nothing you could've done to change that, so don't get so full of yourself.
