[feistytrader]

I believe you.
I'm also in no position to lecture you on safety.
Should we try dumping a bag of ice on your head to see if you have ice powers?

[glaciers]

You really aren't.
The worst that can happen is being uncomfortable cold.
Let's do it.

[feistytrader]

Where do you want to meet?
You can meet Aoi, too.

[glaciers]

Your baby alligator?
The park works for me.

[feistytrader]

Yeah, my baby alligator. I can't just call him that all the time.
You bring a bucket, I'll bring the water and ice.

[...Well, apparently this includes water now.]

[glaciers]

Cute name.
Water?
I'll see you soon.

[feistytrader]

[Silver takes a while longer than usual to show up; he's not walking great even without the ice after yesterday, but he manages to drag it to the park. He and Aoi the Totodile aren't particularly hard to point out, given that they stand out like a sore thumb. It isn't just the ice or crocodile that everyone is very distinctly avoiding. Totodile's also the only blue thing in the entire area.]

Hey, Shouto!

[glaciers]

[At least something still has blue on it. But he does look slightly worried when Silver walks like that.]

Hey.

... What happened to you?

[feistytrader]

Nothing that won't be better in a couple of weeks.

[He waves his hand dismissively and holds up the bag of ice instead.]

You brought a bucket, right?

[glaciers]

[He picks up the bucket by his feet.]

Got one. [It's not as big as the bag of ice.] The house doesn't have a lot of big buckets lying around.

[feistytrader]

That's fine.

[Silver doesn't fill the entire bucket with ice anyway; he gets it to about halfway before-]

Hey, Aoi. Could you do the water thing?

[Totodile looks over at the bucket, then uses water gun right into it. He's brief, at least, but that doesn't stop water and a few ice cubes from going everywhere.]

Perfect. Thanks, buddy.

[glaciers]

[What.]

Alligators don't usually do that, right?

[feistytrader]

Nope. Cool, right?

[There's no response from Totodile, just a vacant smile.]

Are you ready to get soaked?

[glaciers]

[It's strangely cute even as it doesn't seem to register anything.]

... Alright. I'm prepared.

[Is anybody ever prepared for getting freezing water and ice dumped on them?]

[feistytrader]

[In that case, the bucket goes up, there's a brief pause for dramatic tension...

And down it goes all at once, right on his head.]

[glaciers]

[Shouto usually looks all stoic and cool right?

That's completely shattered as he yelps when the bucket of freezing cold gets dumped onto him.]

[feistytrader]

[...He almost feels bad, but at the same time, he's not sure he's ever seen Shouto this flustered. Either way, it's over quickly enough, and he tries to brush some of the ice off of his shoulders and hair.]

You alright?

[glaciers]

[He's shuddering from the cold, even if it is approaching summer.]

I'm f-f-fine...

[Moving feels uncomfortably sluggish.]

[feistytrader]

...Should've brought a towel.

[He shakes out Shouto's hair a little, then pulls off his hoodie- because he has problems and wears hoodies for as long as he can get away with it without heat stroke- and pulls it over Shouto. That should help a little bit, at least.]

You wanna get me back?

[glaciers]

H-Hindsight's twenty t-twenty.

[He's still shivering, but at least the hoodie helps.]

... Yes.

[feistytrader]

[...Poor Shouto. He gets the bucket ready with Totodile's help and sets it in front of him.]

Whenever you're ready. Hit me with everything you've got.

[glaciers]

[He'll heft the bucket up after a few moments.

Congratulations on his new, exciting, horrible cold feeling.]

[feistytrader]

[This new, exciting, and horrible cold feeling is terrible and Silver blocks his head immediately- which ends up getting his gloves wet- but strangely enough doesn't vocally protest all that much. He still looks like a damn idiot, but he's looking like an idiot quietly.]

...We're even.

[God, that sucks.]

[glaciers]

We're even. Let's never do that again.

[There's a pause as he looks off into the distance.]

It did work for the alternate memories, but I never want to do it again.

[feistytrader]

Yeah? What kind of alternate memory did you get?

[...He's trying real hard to not look uncomfortable from being soaked. At least it's warm out and should warm up soon. Lesson learned, bad idea, never again.]
