It makes me wonder what kind of stuff she has memories about. From the way she talks about it, she makes it seem like she has it worse of than you.

[He's silent for a moment as he mulls that over- and just how different the experience is for everyone in general- then quickly shakes his head and settles for putting a hand on Goro's head... And giving him a harsh noogie while he has him trapped next to him.]

But enough about that. Where do you get off telling people I've got more secrets to share, huh?

[--OOHHHH GOD that's a noogie, he's yelping and trying to push Silver off.]

I only thought it was fair!

[Silver is nothing if not persistent! Push harder, Goro.]

I covered the important stuff. I trust you more than Liz, you idiot.

[It's said softly enough that it shouldn't be overheard, but it's the truth; it's not that he distrusts Liz- he certainly wouldn't have told her a damn word if that was the case- but opening up to people is difficult, too.]

[... Oh. That stops his pushing, guilt crossing his expression as he looks away.]

I'm sorry. You're right, I shouldn't have said anything. Especially seeing as I kept so much from the two of you myself... I have no right to ask that of someone else, or to force their hand.

...If I remember anything potentially dangerous, I'll share it with you guys. I'm not that big of a hypocrite.

[But he does leave Goro's head alone, opting instead to lean on Goro's shoulder. It occurs to Silver that he's supposed to be mad at him or wary of him after what he just said, and those feelings aren't entirely gone, but he really does just put that much stock into Goro's words, doesn't he? He likes picking on him or contesting him, but he doesn't want to fight him for long.

He's stupid, that's what he is.]

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gotten that harsh about what you said.

No, you had every right. I... should have come clean about that particular detail before allowing you to encourage my affections and interest in Akira too. I just didn't think it could be connected until the one I did speak of with you, and...

[He trails off, leaving it quiet for a moment.]

... And I wanted to not mess anything up. I was selfish, and it ended up being worse than it might've been. Though I don't know if Akira would actually come back like you and Miss Velveteen seem to think he will, and I don't know if you would remain a friend of mine if I had told you then as well.

[...He didn't know he was trying to kill Akira. That has to be a lie, right? He knew he was going to betray him, even if he didn't... No, he can't imagine Goro pursuing anything if he legitimately considered that.]

I definitely wouldn't have encouraged you. That's the main reason I'm pissed off, you know. I don't like the idea that I could be responsible for Akira getting hurt.

[Yet he doesn't move away from Goro, really, and once he considers it a little more-]

But you're still my friend, and neither do you.

[... Better to have heard it from Goro than to remember it himself, better to have heard it instead of just remembering...]

There's nothing I'd hate more, I promise. [Would rather die than hurt Akira.] Um, thank you though. For still being my friend. I appreciate it.

But you know what really sucks?

[Silver, are you even listening-]

It doesn't matter what I would or wouldn't have done. Akira likes you. This has nothing to do with me. He's going to come back sooner or later. I bet he'd still come back even if I tried to talk him out of it. Not that I'd have it in me to do something like that.

[He desperately wanted to ask Akira if he thought dating Goro was a good idea, and all he could manage to say was that he was worried about Goro... He lets out a sigh of frustration and turns to Goro to tug on his cheeks.]

Of course you're still my friend. Who do you think I am? Just don't mess this up, alright? Otherwise, I...

[...He isn't sure what he'll do, actually, and the fact that he can't come up with an immediate answer to that bothers him. He puts his hands down and looks elsewhere.]

[ ...Elizabeth is respectful and she might have been hovering just out of sight for a few minutes, trying her level best not to eavesdrop because that's not what she's about, but anyway— this seems like as good a time as any to peek back in.

Ahem-hem-hem. ]

The pizza has arrived. [ It's actually been here for a little bit but—details! details. ] I'm not certain I can eat all of them myself, so... If you'd like to come help me, I would appreciate the extra stomachs.

[Goro jerks away from Silver like he's been caught with someone he shouldn't be with, cheeks stained pink from Silver's words, his inability to string a threat together.]

Er, yes. We will. Thank you.

[please let's not address our emotional vulnerability]

[...Have you ever seen someone that's such a tool they pull their hoodie over their head indoors just to try and hide the fact that they were caught in a particularly emotional moment? Well, you have now.]

Thanks.

[He quickly scoots out of the bathroom, leaving Goro behind without a moment's hesitation.]

[ ...Both of you...

Goro's going to get a small smile (she thought this was a very sweet moment, even if she definitely did not eavesdrop, nosirree) and hold out her hand to him. ]

Shall we, Akechi? Unless you prefer cold pizza.

[... She eavesdropped. He deserves that, he Sort Of did the same to her last month, okay. Goro'll take her hand, helping himself up as he wipes his face with the other.]

The mark of a good pizza is one you can eat cold, but I do prefer mine hot. I believe I'm in the minority there though.

You're not gonna have a choice if you don't hurry up.

[Silver has retrieved the pizza! ...It's also being placed on the couch, right in their living room- with the exception of his box that is going on his lap instead of course- because he's a civilized individual. Sneasel's already joined him and is desperately trying to get at a slice of pizza. Kingdra and Feraligatr have not because there is simply not enough room for everyone.]

...We're in the minority together, [ she'll reassure him quietly, patting his hand before she pulls him along. Good to see Silver's stopped being an absolute tool with his hood—

yes yes, pizza now. There's ~~vinegar~~ drinks on the table, help yourselves... Elizabeth double-checked to make sure hers was water though, actually, so she's perfectly good sipping her stuff. c: ]
