⌛ Who: Venti, Hypnos, Giovanni, Bloody Mary ⌛ What: Finally made a permanent log for closed top levels. Look at me go. ⌛ When: Various times. ⌛ Where: Various. ⌛ Warnings: Will note in headers as they are needed.
[in turn, Silver's anything but upset at being called such. Even if he'd been trying to insult with it, that probably wouldn't have mattered. He can't help the little smile at Hypnos' encouragements, either.]
Risotto is a little time consuming to make, but I do know the basics. Maybe I will ask someone.
[pressing a finger to his lips in a moment of consideration, Silver tilts his head.]
You're just the carefree type, then. I've met many, and while I can't say I understand... I suppose one should live life in their own way. For me, I could never forgive myself if I let Malleus and Lilia down. Not after everything they've done for me. ... Even if this place is definitely different from whence we came.
I could have guessed. It's not a bad thing to be serious.
[ They balance each other, he finds. Someone serious needs a carefree person to sometimes tell him to slow down and smell the poppies. But a carefree person needs someone serious so that they don't totally check out in life. He has a hard time imagining being so sleepy in nature and serious at the same time, though. ]
I am... But I suppose that's only natural. I like sleeping and not doing too much. I mean, I like making lists and I like my work.
[ Hypnos is no stranger to letting people down. Oops. ]
I doubt someone who takes his duty seriously could let someone down. People tend to recognize effort.
No, I don't think it is either. But as long as you're capable of doing your work, that's well enough too.
[it's why, for all the disagreements he has with Sebek, he'd never downplay their devotion to Malleus.
anyway, that comment earns a wry smile from Silver, a softness at its edges that speaks worlds about how fond he is for his charge.]
I suppose so. It doesn't dispel the worry that I've not trained enough, but all I can do is continue to move forward. But-- ah. That's hardly why we're here, is it? Sorry.
[not that Silver knows what else to talk about when his whole life has been centered around his fae "family," but still. even if the matchmaking was strange, this is some kind of date-ish.]
Ah - but maybe it is a part of why we are here. Since, I mean, we're here to get to know each other, too. Can't do that without a bit of the chatter!
[ And he's gotten a little bit of insight. This guy seems to be pretty hard on himself about stuff. Hypnos can get it. It's not really something that just stops happening. Even at his age, Hypnos likes to get approval from particular others. ]
I'm great at my job. I haven't really worked here, though. Well, not much anyway.
[ Nothing to note. ]
They make it pretty easy to get away with not doing much.
That's... true enough. But my training regimen isn't really something to talk about over tea.
[Hypnos' assessment is pretty accurate, in any case. Silver has his reasons, but still.]
Then I can't see a problem with your tiredness. I've... just been known to fall asleep mid-conversation, with no idea why, so it isn't quite the same, unfortunately.
[slim fingers push his hair back, brows furrowed in thought.]
For me, my job has always been to protect Malleus, as one of his bodyguards. He may not really need it, but I take pride in doing that work.
I guess that hasn't really changed for me, since he's still here.
