[Silver's a plenty diligent worker, never missing a day or showing up late- barring circumstances outside of his control, of course, like being in the jungle or two inches tall. The fog and nightmares have been no exception; he's come to work on time every day, and he's still doing a good job despite looking like progressively more of a basketcase every time he comes in.
It seems like he's reaching his limits, however; there's only so long that you can carry on with the minimal sleep that avoiding nightmares and fighting through the night in the fog imply. He's passed out at the counter, standing but leaning his weight onto his head and arms, with a coffee at the table and a single earbud blasting music so loudly that it can be heard from a lot more than just his ear.
Sneasel dutifully seems to be looking out for customers, at least...]
[Jaeger's been having a hard time staying awake too, not that he'll admit it. He usually doesn't drink this much coffee, but that's how he's been managing. It... works... sort of.
He's not exactly surprised to see that Silver's fallen asleep when he leaves the back room to check in; the kid's been looking more and more frazzled with each passing day, so it figures that something like this would happen. Jaeger does take a moment to greet Sneasel before approaching and poking Silver in the shoulder a few times.]
[He's poked once, twice, three times, then snaps up and at attention and immediately recites-]
Welcome to Jaeger's, are you finding everything alright? If you have any questions, I-
[...Before realizing that he's talking to Jaeger, and- well, it's not like that makes everything okay, but it does mean that he can stop his customer service sales pitch.]
Sorry. It won't happen again.
[He straightens himself up immediately and stands at attention.]
Mostly those dreadful nightmares. It's a little worrying to think I might end up in someone else's until Retrospec sorts this out!
[It's happened a few times already and he's not a fan. He's likewise not a fan of having people show up in his nightmares, but that's not really what he wants to focus on, so! Here we are.]
It really would be difficult to have a nightmare with terrible puns everywhere! I'd say that's a good way to handle it, if you end up stuck in someone's!
[Hopefully not his, because while that'll probably work, he'd rather not have Silver know about the things in his nightmares. Sure, they aren't that bad, but he has a reputation to maintain!]

Wakey wakey! No sleeping on the job, you know!

[Not that he'd mind, really! Jaeger laughs and waves a hand airily.]
Don't let it happen again, ja? But I'm not too terribly worried about that.
[But since there aren't any customers to deal with and it's been kind of dead all day...]
Have you been having trouble sleeping lately?
no subject
That's been the case for everyone, hasn't it? The nightmares and the fog are making it rough.

[It's only light teasing, don't worry. He's a pretty laid-back guy, after all.]

[On one hand, he's pretty sure this is teasing. On the other hand, is Jaeger the kind of guy that smiles when he's angry...?]

[That's not how the dreams work at all and he knows it, but what else is he supposed to say? Hey Jaeger, what are your greatest fears?]
