#silvershroud

Silver will often come to Idia’s room to watch him play combat games. Sadly, he always drifts off and will rest on Idia’s shoulder. Idia doesn’t mind, but the embarrassment always messes with his gameplay.

Idia loves to take Silver riding on his chariot for their dates, as not only is he a talented driver but it’s something that makes him feel cool. And he likes how Silver clings to him. Silver enjoys this as well as Idia is so confident, and the sharp twists and turns work to keep Silver awake.

Silver occasionally takes Idia horseback riding, but Idia isn’t fond of it. Namely because Samson (Silver’s stead) likes him as much as Pegasus liked Meg.

The two often have their dates in their rooms for a movie or game night, but they also go to the docks or restaurants. (Though only if there aren’t many people. Otherwise, Idia ducks out.) At the latter he will have Silver order for him.

Idia attempted to use Silver as an introvert shield, but this backfired as Silver gets deep into conversations and often asks Idia’s opinion so he doesn’t get left out.

At dances Idia clings to Silver’s side in part because he’s nervous about the party but mostly to keep other people away from his boyfriend. This causes conflict at times, as it keeps Silver from his duties.

While Idia admires and loves how strong Silver is physically, it also makes him feel insecure about himself. Hence he dislikes being carried like a princess or anything that proves he’s weaker.

Speaking of physical stuff, in order to feel better around Silver, Idia tried training with Vargas—and almost died—and Lilia—and almost died twice. Once from the actual training and once from the snack Lilia served him. When Silver talks to him about this, Idia eventually admits his insecurities, and Silver offers to help him build strength. The training is actually something Idia can keep up with, and while he detests the workout, he enjoys the one-on-one time with his boyfriend. His goal is to be able to lift Silver. It takes a LONG time to reach this point.
