SILVER wants to battle!

do you remember what i told you last time?

have you been doing well since i saw you?

that's not what you told me back then.

when was the last time i saw you?

you were shorter then.

i'm picking the restaurant this time.

we've known each other since we were children.

always knew i could count on you.

that time was different. this is worse.

you're not going to let me live that down, are you?

i seem to remember a conversation we had back then.

so you changed your mind about it?

do you remember our encounter in paris?

you should know me by now.

am i the only one that knows the truth?

we had a lot of help back then.

your mom told me to look out for you.

you just love bringing that back up to annoy me.

maybe don't mention my past indescretions?

this was never going to work out between us.

i told you not to get attached.

i know more about you than you think.

i was there, remember?

i'm not about to forget all the shit you put me through.

you told me you were going to try and make this work.

remember what i said to you?

the last time i saw you, things were good between us.

you never mentioned this before.

that was the longest flight of my life, and you made it worse.

can i still trust you after all that?

at least we tried to make something work.

we never discussed what happened between us.

okay, but i'm driving the car this time.

i haven't forgotten what you said last week.

i'm still thinking about your comment.

i didn't realize it was you when i first saw you.

you seem to make a lot of enemies around here.

there's not much for us to talk about.

we worked it out last time.

i know you far better than you know yourself.

we have a long history.

is that the shirt you were wearing last time?

what don't i know about you?

i haven't told them about us.

you were the only person i could go to.

you know me.

this is bigger than both of us.

i can't stand your driving.

are you taking me to the place we had dinner last time?

that's not at all what you said.

didn't we agree on that?

i thought i made it very clear where i stand.

are these the same people that came after you last time?

are you still going on about it?

can we talk about it?

staying silent about it won't help.

you're the only person who knows the real me.

"Oton has the recording though and definitely advertising it in his office. I could have been the Champion before Gold took up the spot but I didn't. Too much wanderlust in me. Too much bureaucracy. Asharas wasn't even a Charizard yet, and Riuda was still a Pupitar. Riptide was still on my team too. Back when things were a little simpler around here."

Back when her blood father was still alive.

"Then, handful of years later, I did the circuit again, same result. Wanted to make sure I was still good at it when I hit the big twenty. Still did, still before Gold was around I think? Or he was away or something. Still haven't battled him properly yet."

Anyway not the point of the reminiscing and sympathizing bit.

"Even after all that and with the family business coming and going, kind of still finding what I'm wanting to fulfill that life dream niche with." She looks at him with a softer but reassuring gaze. "Then you and your little band of chaos crashed in."

Still, they couldn't help but show the tiniest of smirks at her last comment. Right.

"You're still in time to fight Gold, if you want, you know?

Just don't tell him you want him to go all out. Unless you want to risk being burned to a crisp by god."

When Silver speaks, Shay just looks at him.

She closes her eyes, and puts the lemonade down.

An arm goes around Silver's shoulders.

"You know, you're really bad at this."

Aaaand a silly little headlock for you sir. Messing up your hair with her free arm is just a secondary consequence. Havoc even joins in a bit by scooting next to Silver and giving him a gentle - and carefully aimed, thanks face axes - headbutt.

"You don't need an excuse after the 'don't wanna talk about it' bit, just leave it at that, dumbass." She chides playfully before letting him go.

The woman gives him a moment, taking a long sip of her lemonade before thinking of talking again. Silver had been acting off since the battle. He didn't want to talk about it though, so perhaps some relatable sympathy would work.

"It's you guys' fault. I used to be good at-

--akgh!"

Ah. This was a trap. As soon as her knuckles find his hair, he brings both hands on her arm, struggling to break free and quietly fixing himself as she... makes fun of him??? Rude. That necessitates a Silver-brand scowl and a second groan, letting the silence fall.

"...you did?"

--at least until she reveals that little thing about herself. He shouldn't be surprised. Lance was strong, but not as unbeatable as many other Champions sometimes seem to be. ...he's going to keep that thought for himself.
