[Silver is absolutely not the type to make a habit out of being late, but it's been happening a couple of times as of late. When they were all small, that one time he had to stop someone from walking out into traffic... There's usually a damn good reason for it, at least, and he does his best to work twice as hard to make up for it (or failing that, he tries to bribe him with smoothies.)
Today Silver is definitely running late, but the reason why is rather immediate once he gets inside, at least- he walks in along with some weird small crocodile looking thing that looks at Jaeger with a smile. Does it know how to do anything other than smile? That remains to be seen.]
[He's trying so damn hard not to sound like he's losing control of his life but he woke up today unable to see blue or green and he's slowly losing his mind, so uh. Forgive him if he's a little out of it.]
Why did you bring him to work?
...Don't tell me you couldn't find a pet-sitter on such short notice. Please don't tell me that.
[He pulls a Pokéball out of his pocket, not that he particularly knows what exactly it is other than a place where we put the animals sometimes, apparently.]
I found him in this, and I found this in my backpack this morning. I've seen them in my memories before, but I don't really know much about them.
[...He's at a level of calm that says that he's absolutely lost control of his life.]
[He considers showing Jaeger for a moment, but. He barely knows how to work this thing. Last time he opened it, he got a face full of alligator. He puts the ball away.]
Anyway, sorry. I'll get straight to work.
[He goes off to the backroom to check in and start organizing things, and. Totodile follows right behind him, of course.]
[There he goes... and there goes the gator too. Okay. Sure. We're doing this today, apparently. Alright. That's fine. Come on, Jaeger, pull it together—]
Make sure your little friend doesn't eat anything, ja?
[HE'S TRYING SO HARD TO GET BACK TO THE USUAL LEVEL OF CHEERFUL, IT'S ALMOST PAINFUL HOW HARD HE'S TRYING]
[Well, as long as it doesn't eat the merchandise it should be fine. Hopefully it won't scare away any potential customers...
At Silver's question he shrugs a bit though. Jaeger's expression is trying very hard to be as relaxed as usual, but he's a bit weirded out by the thing he got.]
I found something in the back room this morning. It's... certainly unique!
I had been hoping that nothing weird would happen to me...
[S I G H. As much as he hates losing the color blue he can live with that. He's not entirely sure he can live with a massive scythe in his shop. This is just Too Weird.]
Aside from your new friend has anything else weird happened to you?

Sorry I'm late.
[He is so going to get fired at this rate.]
no subject
[Call you and/or the police but uh. What. Is he looking at right now.]
What is that?
no subject
[He has no damn clue, Jaeger.]
I think he's supposed to be one of my animal friends, but I haven't met anything like him yet. He seems pretty cool with it, though.

[THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT IS, ISN'T IT]
no subject
[...In fairness, it's a really well behaved crocodile. One that is also still blue, despite the lack of blue in everything else.]
no subject
I don't know any pet-sitters at all. I can't help you there.
...But where did you get this anyway? Surely you didn't just find it on the side of the road or something, ja?
[I MEAN IF YOU DID HE'S NOT GOING TO BE SURPRISED but why is the gator blue when nothing else is.......]

You hear that? No eating anything. After work, we can go get more food.
[Totodile simply looks up at Silver for a moment before continuing to follow him, but a bounce in his step indicates excitement.]
What about you, boss? Have you gotten any surprise gifts?
[We're not even acknowledging the color drain on everything. Not today.]
no subject

I found something in the back room this morning. It's... certainly unique!
[He's. He's trying.]
no subject
[...He's not unaware that Jaeger seems stressed, but he's assuming the stress is because he brought a crocodile to work or the missing colors.]
no subject
[That's a bit quicker than it really needs to be and if he's honest with himself, he's not really sure why he wants to keep something like that.]
...Anyway, it's some kind of... weapon, I suppose. Absolutely massive thing; it wouldn't fit on the shelves anyway.
no subject
Can I take a look?
[Serious, but curious, of course. Totodile's staring at Jaeger too.]
no subject
[He shrugs and motions for Silver to follow him to the back room. The weapon is just kind of sitting there, currently in massive fuckoff scythe form.]
no subject
Welcome to the club, Jaeger. Your life's officially weird.
no subject
[S I G H. As much as he hates losing the color blue he can live with that. He's not entirely sure he can live with a massive scythe in his shop. This is just Too Weird.]
Aside from your new friend has anything else weird happened to you?
no subject
[He hasn't gone full Dave yet, though. Or poor Ryoji.]
Can you pick it up?
no subject
[He's tempted to ask what it's like, but Silver's question is a better distraction.]
Not at all! Look at it, it's taller than I am!
[he's kind of a noodle, actually, shhh]
no subject
[...Mostly because he wants to see Jaeger in his full noodle glory.]
no subject
I already did! It's much too heavy for me.
no subject
...That's what he wants to say, but this is his boss.]
Maybe it's time to hit the rec center.
[That's not much better, Silver-]
no subject
I don't think most people could lug something like this around!
[g o d he's not that much of a wimp!!! (yes he is)]
no subject
[In fairness, it is pretty large, but how heavy can it be?]
