[You know, Silver's been having a pretty rough week, and he did say that he'd get Jaeger back for teasing him. Sure, maybe he sort of did that already, but Elda helped, so it doesn't count. Besides, he needs the damn bingo slot, and he's kept this damn pie hidden for his entire shift, so there's no way he's not using it now.]
Hey Jeager, could you come over here for a second? I think I found something pretty cool.
[This isn't something particularly out of the blue for him to say. Hopefully Jeager's completely unsuspecting...]
[Jaeger is absolutely unsuspecting when he comes over, because it's a pretty frequent thing to find something cool stashed in here. Maybe if his shop was less of a mess this wouldn't happen so often, but that just gives it charm!!]
[That's all the warning Jeager gets before Silver pulls out a cream pie and nails him; he's not even aiming for the face so much as Jeager's damn hair, because that's so much worse than pie to the face.]
AND RIGHT IN THE HAIR IT GOES. Jaeger makes a very undignified noise and takes a few steps back, bringing his hands up like he can somehow fix this when he's very well aware that he's not fixing this easily.]
Silver! You--! You--!
[Well, whatever it is he wants to say doesn't come out and instead he just sort of storms off to the back room. Congrats, Silver, you got your bingo space!]
[You know, actually managing to get Jeager flustered is such a mixed bag. On one hand, score, he's proud of himself, that deserves a huge pat on the back.
On the other hand, he could get fired.
With the unease setting in, he decides against laughing and instead decides to make the last thirty or so minutes before they close the store some of his best work. ...Totodile goes to the back to check on Jeager and see how he's doing, though.]
[It's quite a feat to get the Actually Angry icon out of Jaeger, so well done!!
Anyway, he's in the back trying to get as much of the pie as he can out of his hair with the use of the sink back there. He glances up when Totodile comes in, then returns to his work.]
Your friend is in big trouble! He'll be very lucky if I don't fire him over this!
[...Totodile can probably tell he's not serious, if only because he's doing that thing that cats do when they get all puffy. DON'T TOUCH ME, I'M BIG, basically. He's not really going to fire Silver.]
[So he'll gently lift Totodile up (which is easier than it would've been before he suddenly got more buff) and position him so he'll be spitting water (mostly) into the sink.]
[Totodile puts his feet down on Jeager's shoulders so he has some better footing- and so Jeager can use his hands if he needs to- then takes a deep, deep breath...
...And lets out a pretty reasonably gentle stream of water, all things considered. No fire hose pressure today, just something more akin to a shower. Wash away, Jeager.]
[Huh, this is pretty nice! Good job, Totodile, you've saved your trainer from getting fired today, if only because Totodile's pretty damn awesome. Too bad he can't give the gator a raise.
Anyway, once he's done with that he'll signal for Totodile to stop and speak up.]
[Well you could always give Silver a raise so he could spend more money on Totodile-
Totodile stops when asked and hops down; it's not a particularly large leap to make. From there, he's off to go rummage through Silver's bag; Silver's gotten in the habit of leaving him treats in his backpack in the absence of being able to take him out to eat at any time.]
[Huh. Silver's stuff. You know, it would be nice to snag something in revenge for the pieing incident. Jaeger drops down by Totodile to look through the bag over the gator's shoulder.]
Find any snacks in there?
[maybe he should start bringing in snacks for the gator... what do gators eat...???]
[Totodile eventually pulls out one of the dancing apples! ...He has no reservations over biting right into it. He's a strange, strange little creature.
There's a lot of stuff in Silver's bag- cards, a can of spray paint, clothes, a sketchbook, his laptop, is there a book in there?- but the thing that immediately stands out is probably the creepy mask.]
[Oh Totodile, you keep on being your strange little self. Just bite into one of those dancing apples, oh my god.
Anyway, the creepy mask is definitely worth snagging and Jaeger holds up a finger to his lips to Totodile.]
I promise I'll give it back tomorrow; it'll be our little secret, ja?
[This mask is going in his office and he's going to question Silver about it tomorrow because seriously kid. Why are you carrying around a creepy mask with all of your other stuff.]
[Totodile doesn't move or change his expression, but he understands. It's not like he didn't help Silver steal something earlier. he can help Jeager steal something now. You kids and your bingo cards. He'll go ahead and zip up Silver's bag right in time for Silver to sheepishly poke his head into the back room.]
Hey, Boss, you know that was just a- I'm not getting fired, right?
[...His hair is soaking wet- oh. Oh. Aoi's a damn lifesaver, isn't he. You're the best little friend he could ask for, buddy. He's getting him something really tasty tonight.]
I already cleaned everything up, so it shouldn't take long.
[Look at how quick and efficient! ...He really doesn't want to lose his damn job. He goes to fetch his backpack; Totodile follows behind him dutifully, keeping good on his promise with Jaeger.]
[Fortunately, it doesn't take him long to find it and snatch it up. ...He didn't leave it there, did he? There's no way. One way or the other, he's shoving it back in his bag, and...
...
You know what? He doesn't really want to talk about the creepy mask anyway.]
Morning, Boss.
[That was a totally relaxed and reasonable response, and nothing strange happened this morning.]

Absolutely. Do be careful not to blast me too hard, ja?

He points at the floor, then holds his little arms out towards Jeager. Pick him up! More water will end up in the sink if he's closer. Probably.]

Well done! At least you weren't slacking!
[Anyway, he'll do a last glance through the shop before heading out to lock up.]
no subject
[And with that, a very nervous Silver leaves work for the day, glad that he survived Jeager's wrath, which he absolutely brought upon himself.
...He's at work really damn early the next day.]
no subject
He's also got that mask set in the back room, where Silver's probably used to leaving his things. No explanation, it's just sort of there.]
