Need to talk privately with Cilan? Send him a message via the crystal or carrier pigeon? Want to meet with him without posting a log for it? Here's the place to do it!
...No, actually, I didn't know that until just now.
[Silver didn't say anything to us about it, so we only know now thanks to you and White. Still, there's a surge of positive energy radiating from his side of the conversation here.]
But, now that I do know, that means I'll be able to devote time to prepare something with a nice and sweet taste for him!
[Once he has an idea of what to do, that is: should he bake a cake, or is someone else already doing that? Maybe he should also figure out something to get Silver that isn't just food as well...]
Great! [ no, not the 'not knowing' thing. ] One of Silver's friends wants to hold a surprise party for him, and I knew you would be ready to get your hands messy!
[ Then-- there's a pause. ]
...um, I mean... the both of you are friends, aren't you? I kind of assumed, you know, since he told you about what happened...
There's a long moment of silence, but... Red should be able to feel the cheery warmth Cilan had a minute ago slowly draining away, before he finally speaks.]
Yes, I did know that... but not because Silver told me about what happened.
[He doesn't say anything else, but the implication should hopefully be clear enough for Red to figure out how Cilan would know.]
Red can't stop that feeling of dread that comes with an uneven beat in his chest, slipping into what's an otherwise silent connection. But when there's nothing more that Cilan says- ]
Okay.
[ It's the same plain tone, a simple acknowledgement. ]
Ah... yes, of course I still want to make something.
[That was such a clumsy attempt at changing the subject back to what they had been talking about before, but Cilan's willing to go along with it for now.]
You're welcome to help us with the preparations, if you'd like to?
[Sure, their last attempt at baking something together ended up with Red slicing his hand open, but surely no such thing would happen this time, right.]
[ Hey man as long as you're going along with it- ]
If you want me to, I'll do it. Should I introduce you to the person who's putting this together? It sounded like the party is Silver's idea for the holidays and he's going to be inviting people, but the birthday part is her surprise. Something like that.
Hm... I think I might know who you're talking about, but I should probably meet with her all the same so that we can discuss what kind of plans should be made for Silver's birthday.
[That way there aren't any conflicting ideas or duplicates of something being done for Silver here. Come to think of it, he should probably call Miss Milla about that too... as much as he kind of doesn't want to do so, since they are prone to arguing with one another sometimes whenever they talk to each other...]
Miss White... yes, I think I remember meeting and speaking with her a little back when we were in Shaarnath. She was pleasant company to have during our stay there. I'm glad that Silver has someone with good taste like her as a friend here.
[So yes, he has met her before, albeit once and very briefly.]
She's really nice. She's one of the first people I met on this island. [ Just like you, Cilan. ] Okay, I'll get back to her... or how about I leave it to you? You both know each other already.

Yeah! Actually... [ well, he thinks Cilan might be all over idea, but ] Did you know Silver's birthday is coming up? The older one.

no subject
Huh? [wait, what] I'm sorry, but what are you referring to exactly?
[You're gonna have to be a little more specific, Red.]
no subject
You knew I died.
[ There's nothing cheerful-sounding in that, nor much else in the delivery of the words. ]
