You lost father privileges until you're better.

[infinitegrin]

Hah! It's not my fault that I got mauled.

[Oh well, it was worth the attempt.]

[tsuntrader]

[...Ow. Way to hit below the belt. Silver's still having a difficult time accepting that it wasn't his fault, so he doesn't respond and looks away.]

[infinitegrin]

[Hey, hey! Have a pillow tossed at your face.]

It wasn't yours, either! Don't be stupid.

[tsuntrader]

[-It's a direct hit!

Emmet, why are you tossing pillows at him. Stop that.]

[infinitegrin]

It's no one's fault. They found and released the purrloin before it could cause any more damage, so it's fine. I know you, you're just like Ingo, and I know you're trying to place the blame on something.

But that something can't be yourself.

[tsuntrader]

[He knows that. And he's trying really hard to accept that no one's to blame.

But it's easier said than done.





-Hey.] I'm not like Ingo.

[infinitegrin]

You are! You're a lot more like him than like me.

[tsuntrader]

I'm not cautious enough to be like Ingo.

[infinitegrin]

And that's what you share in common with me! That, and being pretty good with girls.

[tsuntrader]

[...If by "pretty good" you mean "a total pushover," then yes. He's good with girls.]

[infinitegrin]

[Yes, that's exactly what he means! Girls like having guy friends they can push around.]

In any other way, you're a lot more like Ingo.

[tsuntrader]

[...Nope, he doesn't see it. Ingo's responsible, he runs an entire subway along with Emmet- something Silver could never stay rooted enough to do, he's way more restless than Ingo, Ingo's not crazy...

...Well, not his kind of crazy, anyway.] I'll take your word for it.

[infinitegrin]

You'll see it the older you get. You still have a lot of young wanderlust!

[tsuntrader]

[...Wh- Emmet...] That's not because I'm young.

[infinitegrin]

It probably is! You just haven't found a satisfying reason to settle down.

[tsuntrader]

[...Well, he can't argue with that. He's always had a reason to move around, so settling down wasn't an option. Isn't an option. It's too strange and foreign to think about.

And it still isn't an option. Staying here for too long is going to drive him nuts, even if...]

I doubt I'll find a reason.

[infinitegrin]

You say that now! You have a long life ahead of you.

[tsuntrader]

[...]

[infinitegrin]

You will! This world station is a lot safer than the others. It's peaceful. It's nothing like Luceti.

[tsuntrader]

But I might not stay here. [I don't belong here.]

[infinitegrin]

I hope you do. I'd do anything to make sure you were here, and safe...

1/2

[tsuntrader]

[And part of him wants to stay here. The part that cares about Ingo and Emmet, that's been enjoying coming into an apartment of Joltik every day, of doing things that are normal and having a normal and content life in a calm and safe place...

...But that's irresponsible. He always has something to do at home. That's his duty. His obligation. He'd be running away from that. And... He'd be losing his friends. ...No, he'd be losing his friends and family. He'd never see Blue again. He'd never see Crys or Yellow or even Green. He'd never see Gold again.

And that's just something he doesn't want to think about.]

[tsuntrader]

[...] What might happen doesn't matter. What matters right now is that I get to spend time here with you and Ingo.

I'm happy that I got the chance to do that somewhere safe.

[And deep down, he means those words, but right now... They're hollow. He's just trying to be reassuring, to avoid the topic. Part for Emmet, and part for himself. Emmet doesn't need to worry about him.]

[infinitegrin]

Hey... come here. Sit next to me.

[Pat pat!]
