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?

[...Shrug. Hell if he knows.]

[shhhspoilers]

Really? C'mon, you and me just had a lot of fun at the roller coasters! I know you can have fun.

[soulknight]

[...Stuff. Stuff and things.

It's easier to have fun with someone dragging him into fun things than to pick things that are fun.]

[shhhspoilers]

Not a thing? Nothing you do with friends that you like?

[soulknight]

...I enjoy it no matter what if it's with my friends. [Even helping Crys with her work. Even helping out Green.]

[shhhspoilers]

Hmm... okay. Then we should battle!

[soulknight]

[Wait, what?--]

[shhhspoilers]

It's fun! Just a quick one, right? I bet you're really strong, just like daddy!

[soulknight]

...Okay, but not in the city. [Somewhere where he doesn't have to worry about anyone getting stuck in the crossfire.]

[shhhspoilers]

Alright! Then we can go to White Forest. There'll be plenty of space to battle, there.

And it's close to home! So if anything goes awry, dad can help. Not like I couldn't handle it myself, though.

[soulknight]

Can't be a forest. [No can do. That's bad on principle.] Is there a nearby route?

[shhhspoilers]

There's the route we already came through with the sandstorm, up west is the road and the Charizard bridge, and up east is the way to White Forest.

[soulknight]

[Sandstorm's no good. Too loud.]

But they've got frequent traffic, right? What about somewhere empty?

[shhhspoilers]

Well, I can think of one place, at least... but we'll have to do it tomorrow, because we'll either have to fly there or take the train.

[soulknight]

...Okay.

[...] What time is it?

[shhhspoilers]

Uhm...

[She checks her C-Gear!]

It's almost eight.

[soulknight]

The night's still young. [...But not everyone's crazy enough to fight in the middle of the night, so he won't question it further.]

[shhhspoilers]

It is, but I try to keep a normal sleep schedule. Besides, I share a room with Barett and make sure he can reach his inhaler in the middle of the night.

[soulknight]

...Inhaler? [What's an inhaler

what's a sleep schedule

are we still speaking the same language]

[shhhspoilers]

It's a little device that Barett uses when he can't breathe. It doesn't always work, but for the most part it keeps his lungs from aching or itching so that he won't cough and make it worse.

[soulknight]

...You mean like that respirator thing that Wally had?

[shhhspoilers]

I dunno who Wally is, but it's kind of like a respirator, just handheld and smaller. And I think inhalers actually have medicine and respirators don't...? Or they have oxygen or something like that.

[soulknight]

...I'll take your word for it.

[shhhspoilers]

But yeah. Barett's supposed to be getting some kind of surgery since he and I saved up for it, but it's really risky. We're not telling dad about it yet, since we don't know if we're even going to do it.

And he really doesn't trust doctors.

[soulknight]

Can't help you there. I don't either. Never been to one before.
