It makes perfect sense. Most people act like their parents.

[Ah hah... hah...

Emmet doesn't seem to phased, on the surface...]

[50shadesofnpc]

[...

But Emmet's parents weren't at Thanksgiving, so... something's up. Still, that's kind of awkward to ask about... ...]

I guess Silver's been taking after you guys, too. He talks in train puns a lot.

[infinitegrin]

He does! And he's been growing a lot more like us as time goes on. But, we still took him in so late in his life, he probably won't get much more different than he is now. I just hope that we can get him more stable, so that when we're gone, he'll be okay.

[50shadesofnpc]

Yeah... [...It's weird to hear him say that. "when we're gone." Brr. He's the same age as Silver, so he'd be losing them at the same time...!

It's a long way off, at least. And-- if they, Hilbert and Emmet, even last that long, he'd be family with Silver by then, so....]

Um. I'll try to help on the stable part. [Because Silver knowing more people well would help that, right?]

[infinitegrin]

[Parenthood, man, it makes you think about shit like that.]

I'd appreciate it. He could stand to learn some of your calm! He's so restless!

[50shadesofnpc]

He's kinda like Hilda, like that. [Hilbert smiles a little despite himself.] But I feel like it'll be easier to get to him than Hilda. I'll have to catch up to him more often, though...

[be careful hilbert, you may end up chasing him all over the region]

[infinitegrin]

Just promise to trade him something and he'll undoubtedly come to your station eventually...

[50shadesofnpc]

[He has to laugh a bit.] So that's his thing, then? Good to know. I can probably do that sometime.

[...Come to think of it, if he likes that--] Maybe we can try the Karrablast and Shelmet trade evolutions...

[infinitegrin]

That'd be good! Let me know how it goes! You can raise them together!

[50shadesofnpc]

Yeah. I'd like that. [Hilbert looks way too happy at the thought, practically beaming (as far as his calm demeanor will allow). Aaah, so one-track-minded...]

[infinitegrin]

Speaking of Hilda... we haven't seen her in some time. Have you seen her, Hilbert?

[50shadesofnpc]

[Hilda? ...That's right, she hasn't contacted him in a while, or answered his text(s).] No, I haven't.

[He adjusts his hat brim with his free hand, looking more thoughtful.] If it were anyone else I'd be worried, but.... this is Hilda, so I just assumed she went off somewhere.

[infinitegrin]

I guess she'll show up eventually! Maybe Silver knows, he spends a lot of time with her.

[Heh heh heh...]

[50shadesofnpc]

Yeah, maybe-- you're right. [They do hang out a lot, don't they.]

...Hilda is pretty passionate when it comes to Silver... [He doesn't want to infer too much because Hilda would probably punch him for gossiping about her, but... that much is pretty obvious, right?]

[infinitegrin]

I know! Isn't it sweet? They're quite a pair, those two!

[50shadesofnpc]

[...somehow, putting "sweet" and "Hilda" into the same jurisdiction sounds wrong....]

Uh huh. They're pretty alike... [...Emmet you're gushing over your son's relationships, aren't you.] There's a lot of intensity, to be sure. ...Maybe more on Hilda's side.

[infinitegrin]

[Oh, definitely. Emmet chuckles, looking way too amused.]

Those two have quite the combination, don't you think?

[50shadesofnpc]

Yeah. [dfhjskfh emmet...] ...But I can't really tell what Silver thinks of it.

[infinitegrin]

She's a lot like his friends from his world, actually. I think that's why he's latched onto her, at least in part. She must seem very familiar...

[50shadesofnpc]

[...]

Like... her battling? [Or do you mean her attitude?]

[infinitegrin]

That, and the way she acts! She seems like she would fit in so nicely where he comes from. That would explain her restlessness, and why she's so glad to meet someone like Silver.

[50shadesofnpc]

When you put it like that, it really does make sense.

[....A world full of Hildas.........

....that sounds really tiring. (Hilbert you are not an old man omg shut up)]

Good for them that they have each other, then.

[infinitegrin]

They work well as a pair! They really give each other a good workout!

[PHRASING]

[50shadesofnpc]

[Hilbert's one-track mind just connects it to battling without much of a second thought.......]

Yeah. I think they make a pretty strong multi-battle combination. [Silver's pretty good at both protagness and strategy.... gosh. Hilbert's been beaten out of battle-partner place.] And Hilda is less... explode-y... after she's hung out with Silver for a while... [after blowing off all that crazy protag steam...]

[infinitegrin]

They're very synergetic! They function together quite well! Though I guess you may have to find a new regular partner.
