Da Future

[50shadesofprotag]

Soooo in the future! Hilda managed to woo Silver and keep him for more than a week.

When Hilda's about 26 and Silver's 24, she's finally got him doing more "couple"-like things with her.




It's a good thing they're a somewhat decent age to be parents?

It's okay! I like to share with friends.

[soulknight]

...Friends?

[shhhspoilers]

Yep! I decided. Whatever it was exactly. You're perfect for me. We're gonna be good friends!

[soulknight]

...You sure you're not just comparing me to your dad? [Since she really seemed to idolize him...]

I'm not gonna be around for long anyway.

[shhhspoilers]

Lots of people are like my dad, lots of people are unlike him. You can never be my dad, so why should I treat you like it?

[soulknight]

[...Alright. As long as she gets that.

He nods his head. This is all really weird to think about...]

[shhhspoilers]

And besides! Even if you're not gonna be around long, that doesn't mean we can't be friends.

[soulknight]

[There are about six things he can immediately think to say to respond to that.

He's not gonna go for any of them.] If you say so.

[shhhspoilers]

So let's go! What kind of pizza do you like?

[soulknight]

...I usually eat whatever Gold does. [Or Crys. Or Blue. Or Green! Or whatever he can get his hands on.]

[shhhspoilers]

Well! Okay, then I'm kinda feeling a pepperoni pizza. Barett only eats veggie, though, so I think I'll get one of those... I could make it half-cheese. Hmmm...

But anyway, does pepperoni sound good to you?

[soulknight]

[Sound good? That sounds great. He nods.]

[shhhspoilers]

Alrighty, then, let's go!

[She takes his hand, pulling him along again. Kyaa kyaa best friend not-dad!]

[soulknight]

[Hey, hey-

He should just get used to being pulled around, huh.

Great.]

[shhhspoilers]

[Oh shush, you're getting free food out of it!

Blue leads him to a somewhat decent little restaurant, and gets them a table. She explains that she wants a take-home pizza for later, and orders pepperoni for now. But until then, delicious drinks! Blue is enjoying a Shirley Temple. Mmm good.]

So! What've you been doing, in your world?

[soulknight]

[Juice. Juice is nice.]

Learning braille. [Interesting, huh?]

[shhhspoilers]

[It is to Blue!]

Oh! And what's it like? Having to learn a whole different way to read? I'm sure it's hard, but it must be really weird to have to feel it instead of see it, that's just the most impressively different way of reading ever!

[soulknight]

...It's not as cool as you make it sound. [Jeez...]

[shhhspoilers]

Well! Everything is cool. Life's really exciting, right?

[soulknight]

...That's one way to put it. [In his experience, it's more chaotic than exciting, but. Sure. Life's pretty great.

(Silver you're gonna give some pizza to your buddy Weavile right

good)]

[shhhspoilers]

[Mmm it's good pizza too it's baked into the oven instead of fried in oil]

Did you battle all the gyms?

[soulknight]

...I've never battled a gym. [Not even Green's. He never even thought about doing that.]

[shhhspoilers]

Really? It's a lot of fun! If you can still battle, you should try it!

[soulknight]

I can still battle, but gym challenges aren't exactly my thing.

[shhhspoilers]

Really? Why not?
