[This is... unexpected. The smoothies are a good indication that Silver wants something though, so Jaeger ushers him into the back office (and eyes the Totodile for a moment as he does every day before just accepting that this is what his life is like now) and takes a seat.]
Getting started bright and early today, hmm? What brings you to work so early, Silver?
[He gestures for Silver to take a seat as well. The scythe is no longer in scythe-form and it's been pushed out of the way, so at least you won't have to worry about that!]
...For starters, I have this guy because I stole him.
[Silver looks over at Totodile right as he abandons any pretense of remaining chill- despite the unchanging face- and proceeds to just... eat the entire smoothie, cup, straw, and all.]
...I think so. I think I'd be missing some fingers by now if he didn't.
[Totodile looks over at both of them and just. Keeps on crunching. Great answer, buddy.]
I'm guessing the hallucinomemories are freaking him out as much as the rest of us.
[Totodile looks away without turning his head, so. Maybe? Crunch crunch. It's hard being a little reptile without anything familiar around you and then remembering that the one guy you like can can depend on stole you away. #pokemonproblems]
[Jeez, you're going to make him feel bad for the gator. He can only feel bad about so many things before it starts getting weird and uncomfortable!!]
That would make sense. I assume you're still trying to take good care of him, ja? Even if he remembers being stolen perhaps he can see that you're a different person.
...Of course I'm gonna take good care of him. I'm protecting this guy with my life.
[But there's very obviously something on his mind, particularly when Jaeger mentions being a different person. He pauses for a moment as he figures out the best way to approach this, then-]
You really should know better than to expect total honesty from me! But I suppose I can make an exception just this once~!
[That honest answer will probably come in handy at some point, so sure, what's the harm in answering it.]
I did a lot of exciting things back home in Germany, but they were also very illegal and I'm not about to get into the specifics with you. I thoroughly enjoyed what I did, but there's something to be said about having a much quieter life now!

[He offers one of the smoothies over. The other is for Totodile, of course.]
Do you know where I could buy a sword? A real one, not just some movie prop or collectible.
no subject
[He'll take that smoothie because hell yes, he is absolutely here for bribery by smoothies. He doesn't really have to think over his answer, but...]
Why do you want a sword, exactly?
no subject
[It's not a direct answer, but it gets the point across, at least. This is because of retrospec stuff.]
no subject
[He's still not sure if he wants to call them memories, but it's easier to ask that than to find another way to word it.]
no subject
Yeah. I've remembered a few things. The sword's for a friend, though.
[Totodile is never particularly expressive, but that smoothie is getting sucked down pretty damn quickly.]
no subject
Oh? Which friend? And what exactly have you remembered anyway?
[Come on Silver, spill!!]
no subject
[Silver looks over at Totodile right as he abandons any pretense of remaining chill- despite the unchanging face- and proceeds to just... eat the entire smoothie, cup, straw, and all.]
And he remembers things when I do.
no subject
Does he now? That's fascinating. Does he still like you?
[You know, since you stole him and all. Not that Jaeger really cares about that.]

Have you remembered anything?
no subject
[He shakes his head a bit once that's out there and returns to the previous topic, because that's easier to talk about.]
He can see that, I'm sure! As long as you're taking care of him, I think he'll continue to find you a decent enough person, at least!
no subject
Can I ask you something?
[Well damn, he looks serious. Maybe a little too serious.]
What's the most exciting thing you've ever done in your life?
no subject
[The most exciting thing he's ever done in his life...]
Why do you ask?
no subject
Just give me this one. Answer it honestly. I'll give you a free honest answer to a question in exchange.
no subject
[That honest answer will probably come in handy at some point, so sure, what's the harm in answering it.]

[jaeger that's not even an answer what the fuck]
no subject
[Or maybe Jaeger's just an asshole, but who the hell cares. Silver looks a little relieved, at least...?]
That wasn't an answer, by the way.
no subject
[He says it in the usual light-hearted tone, but he's suddenly very interested in watching Totodile.]
no subject
[Despite his words, he doesn't seem particularly interested in prying any further. He's gotten what he needs to know, really.]
One free honest question, then. Let me know when you want to collect.
