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.]

[gold doesn't even realize other silver's left sorry dude

paperback doesn't hurt too bad thankfully

(ow)]

That means they're either realizing you can stand on your own two feet, you snuck out, or they've got somebody tailing you from afar. What d'you think?

[illegalmarriage]

I'm my own person. I can step out of my office and get out when I-

[...He turns to otherself.]

Out.

[semiductile]

[...Oh

See you later Sneasel

Good luck dealing with those two]

[illegalmarriage]

[Thank you.

No where were we?]

I can step out of my office when I damn well please.

[illegalteendad]

[... WAIT NO COME BACK ALLY

KIND OF ALLY





man]

I'm so proud of you Silver, really am, but did you have to shoo off my buddy? Pretty rude if you ask me.

[illegalmarriage]

[Second smack on the head with the book.]

Then go after him. I don't care.

[illegalteendad]

[on one hand getting out of this situation

on the other hand there are so many future opportunities to tease silver

what a choice]

I'll catch up with him later and give him that book he was reading. [seems like he needs it, no matter how crappy it is] Speaking of... Whatcha want with this one?

[you know

the hot enemy problems

though gold's grin plainly says what he's not speaking outloud - he's hot and he knows it]

[illegalmarriage]

I don't want to think about why you were reading it. [It's not about taking it- It's about making sure Gold doesn't have it.]

[illegalteendad]

[hopefully he thinks it's about blue

yeah he probably does

wait why does it matter he doesn't like silver anyway]

I just happened to pick it off the shelf, that's all. It's a load of bull. [stay casual yeah good]

[illegalmarriage]

[That's exactly what he thinks it was

you're not getting this book back, gold]

...I'll buy that it's a piece of junk, at least.

[illegalteendad]

[just don't let yellow or blue catch you with it]

I tell you nothing but the [partial] truth! It's got like five different volumes, but I don't see how-- But that's not important. What're you in for?

[illegalmarriage]

[He's not being watched 24/7, alright

more like 22/6]

I'm reading up on ground types. There's something important about Rhydon that I can't figure out.

[...] It's gonna be vital when I finally get around to taking Johto.

[illegalteendad]

You mean never? Come on, dude, we both know you're not getting your hands on Johto.

[illegalmarriage]

[He only cares about getting rid of what he thinks is "evil" or "wrong".]

...Three days. When we get home, I'll have it in three days, tops.

[illegalteendad]

Uh huh. Totally believe you. [he doesn't] Say, how about I do some digging about your Rhydon pal and you do me a favor and look up some info on that Pokemon I caught back at the abandoned city? Doesn't gotta be right now, course, since the guy I'm thinking about asking's gonna be a tough find, but since yooou seem to be as lucky as always... Then we'll see.

[illegalmarriage]

...I'm not looking up anything on that stupid masked excuse for a Pokémon. [Nevermind that he outright refuses to help Gold I mean seriously

gurl you cray cray]

[illegalteendad]

Can't be because you're scared to even look at it, right? Just don't want to help a guy out?

[illegalmarriage]

I'm not helping the enemy. That's all there is to it.

[He's not scared at all just shut your mouth already]

[illegalteendad]

[he doesn't want to help his enemy either but he's got to be friendly]

Yeah, alright, whatever you say. I don't think it'd like hanging around you too much anyway considering you beat it up pretty badly. [it's got an aching for revenge] I'll still ask the guy about Rhydon though.

[illegalmarriage]

[it deserved it, okay

Silver... Doesn't respond. Not with a retort, not with some angry comeback or criticism, but with... Uncertainty. Discomfort. A little annoyance to cover it up. Not the usual anger and frustration and giving him a key to his office.

He tries really hard to look at anything but Gold.]

[illegalteendad]

[... the last time silver was acting weird gold got a key

he rubs his collarbones a little, feeling the chain roll against his skin with the movement, and sighs

about to get into your goddamn face bro look at him]

What? Don't be so hesitant to accept my help, dude.

[illegalmarriage]

[Wh- hey. Hey.

He shoves Gold back, but not roughly. Just enough to clearly dictate his personal space.]

I don't want nor do I need your help. Take me seriously for once.

[illegalteendad]

It's just an offer! Sheesh. [gold's good with rocking on his chair again then

it's a habit he's not getting rid of, a way to keep his body moving

back and forth back and forth] What's got you all riled up? Take you seriously? You act like I don't.

[illegalmarriage]

You don't take anything seriously.

[Not his threats, not the fact that they're enemies, nothing.]

[illegalteendad]

Hey! I take plenty of things seriously. You're the one who doesn't follow up.

[it's all a matter of covering weaknesses

why show that you're concerned about something that might not even happen?]
