Could you be more specific?

[Keeping Up With the Next Generation: An All-Purpose Guide to All That Stuff Those Kids From Other Regions Keep Talking About.

That's the name of the book Kris is reading in some weird and strangely specific library. Some other hits she sees in the shelves are How (Not) to Deal With Meddling Kids in Caps, It's Not All Black and White, The Series of Guys That Cramped My Style And Messed With My Social Life, and Hot Enemy Problems: Part 1.

But it's a large library. A huge library. The possibilities are endless... and very specifically tailored to everyone's needs.]

[Hope you don't mind that one Silver with the big cape trying to peek at what you're reading, Archer.]

[forprofit]

[Silver has gotten really good at this whole quiet sneaking thing. Archer is used to hearing loud footsteps and endless complaining first whenever Silver is around.]

Who- oh. [God that purple is so blinding] Hello, Silver.

[illegalmarriage]

[His purple is great, okay] What are you reading? [Titles can only tell him so much and he's not tall yet okay, let him see-]

[forprofit]

[!!! The heir is interested in his work? It's like a dream come true.]

It's about economic rises and crashes across the Kanto region over the past three hundred years, and how specific events influenced various markets. [Sounds fascinating right? Right?]

[illegalmarriage]

[...That is. Well. Kind of relevant to his interests.

Not one of his favorite topics by any stretch of the word, but it's definitely something relevant to look at. He tries to pull Archer's arm down so the book is at reading level since he's. Lacking in the height department.]

[forprofit]

[It...is? Oh. Well. Silver could just ask for the book, but Archer is fine with holding it down to his level for him.] This interests you?

[illegalmarriage]

I do paperwork all day. There's no such thing as a book that isn't interesting.

[forprofit]

[This kid is literally after his own heart; if Silver ditches the dumb purple and wears proper Rocket colors, Archer might just collapse and not get up again.]

Any subjects in particular that you like the best? [Let Archer turn this entire library inside out to find every single book remotely related to Silver's favorites.]

[illegalmarriage]

...Pokémon trading? Ground types? [Is that. Is that an acceptable answer. Sorry kid all the other Silvers beat you to it]

[forprofit]

...Very well. [Not stealing or money? Eh, close enough. They can work on that later.]

[illegalmarriage]

[He's mastered the art of organizing mass thefts and managing money in his office, okay. Someone's gotta do it and it sure isn't everyone doing field work! He's the planny officey order people around Boss Jr.

...There is a book over there titled What to do When That Dumb Kid in a Hat is Your Enemy But Wants to Be Your Friend.

He hopes he can be subtle about grabbing it, because that book is as good as his.]

[forprofit]

[Archer's not going to stop Silver from picking any book he prefers, but he is an observer and observing Silver is one of his top priorities. An enemy who wants to be a friend? How does that even work?

Yes, not stopping him, but Archer won't stop the frown forming over his face. Really, what has this one been up to.]

[illegalmarriage]

[He's. He's been having few hot protag problems, alright.

Seriously though where are the books that aren't strangely-

What Your Criminal Father Hasn't Been Telling You About Your Rhydon.]

These books are real subtle, aren't they?

[forprofit]

I assume they're specifically catered to our histories. [Archer's found a fun looking volume of How to Raise the Worst Children Possible.]

[illegalmarriage]

...Nice choice in histories. [He's quietly glad that this nut didn't raise him...

Dealing With Your Loyal Yet Crazy Subordinates.]

[forprofit]

[Who are you calling a nut.

Archer is peering over Silver's shoulder for that book. Huh, wonder why it's here.]
