this island is in SHAMBLES. i mean RUINS.

[no. literal ruins. it is an island of ruins. mythology nuts, ruin lovers, fossil collecters............ all are welcome!

anyone is welcome, actually. why? because there's a chance of finding a fossil!!!

as well as an equal amount of chances to find things that look like a fossil but aren't. like an old amber with nothing in it. incredible.

and wouldn't you know it, but there's a fossil revival lab on this island too! it's pretty unmanned, but there's books with instructions on how to revive your very own DESTRUCTIVE DINOSAUR MONSTER.

so hey! come on! make a friend! throw your enemy into one of the ruin's dozen puzzle rooms! ffall to your doom! whatever you want!

I like talking to you. [It's blurted out before he can stop to think on it. Not -- exactly what he wanted to say. Ethan nudges his Happiny off his lap before he stands; the sling feels weird, but not as weird as trying to explain himself.] I mean -- er --

[Give him a second.]

You're fun? [He's fun to mess with, but unfortunately no scenario ever goes the way Ethan pictures it so it ends up more frustrating than fun.] No, that's not it. I mean, it is -- like, things were pretty boring in Johto? And it's been not-boring since the lab and here and...

[...Silver's assessment of him isn't going to change much, so he just waves his good hand dismissively.]

You're frustrating and difficult, and it feels great to get you worked up over something since you take everything else so easy.

[Maybe Silver just makes him feel accomplished? Putting feelings into words has never been his strong point.]

[Silver was all ready to ignore Ethan so he could leave without embarrassing himself further, and-- then he just started talking., and every single word out of his mouth just gets stupider and stupider. He feels, somehow, both mortified and angry, although he's finding difficult to pinpoint why. All he knows is that, by the end of it, he's absolutely sick of listening to Ethan.]

I'm not here for your entertainment. [He turns on his heel and recalls his Croconaw in one swift movement, before flouncing towards the door.] Loser.
