“I like the sound of that!”

Silver liked the sound of anything chocolate. He followed the other into the house, which was where he learned it was a really nice feeling, coming in from a walk during the rain. Why did nature have to be so indescribably beautiful? His eyes widened a bit at her words. Oh gosh, he could never do that.

His boots were wet, but taking them off? No. Just the thought paralyzed him with fear. If he took them off, she would see his birthmarks. She would see what made him a monster. Then he would be turned away, and would never get to see this beautiful place again. No, he had to hide his feet. Nobody was allowed to see them. Silver was too terrified to take the risk of putting on something else. His boots were the only things he knew for sure his birthmarks wouldn’t shine through.

What if they had glowed through the socks? They never stopped glowing. It would have been obvious it wasn’t some pattern. Silver just stood there, a bit awkwardly. It was all he had the heart to do.

While she mixed the powder, she blinked at the lack of sound from the hallway. She placed the spoon down before peeking into the hallway.

“You okay over there, Silver? I promise the socks are warm. Here.”

Rebecca squatted down in front of the cabinet, taking out a pair of thick, winter socks and a pair of light blue slippers before handing them both to Silver with a bright smile, ruffling his quills.

“Now I know that not everyone’s comfy with someone watching them change shoes so I’ll be in the kitchen making the cocoa, okay?”

Rebecca walked off to the kitchen again to finish mixing the cocoa and put it in the microwave.

Silver could already tell walking would be a favored hobby of his when he had the time for things like hobbies. Maybe rain wasn’t so bad. The scenery was breathtaking. He was, however, very happy to see the house, and much looking forward to getting out of the rain, and trying on clothes.

“Okay. That’s really nice of you.” Even though he didn’t know what that was.

“You’ll love hot cocoa, Silver. It’s powdered chocolate mixed in with warmed milk.”

“Here we are. Just gotta get my keys.”

Rebecca gently tugged her sleeve from Silver’s grip to get her house keys from her pocket. She unlocked the door and went inside, closing her umbrella before taking her shoes off for them to dry. She went into the cabinet near the door and got a pair of blue slippers, slipping them over her socks.

“There’s a spare pair of warm socks and slippers in the cabinet, your boots are probably wet from walking in the rain. If you’d like, you can just wear the socks.”

Rebecca smiled before heading off to the kitchen to start on the hot cocoa.

“Alright.”

The idea of getting to try out clothes was exciting to him. He did just that, remaining close so that he didn’t get himself wet. It wasn’t a pleasant feeling. Silver preferred water to be seen, and drank, but not felt. Even if he could swim, he probably wouldn’t have liked it too much.

“Off we go.”

Rebecca started walking to her home, chuckling as the occasional Pidove tried roosting on her umbrella. She gave it a gentle twirl and it was off flying back into the trees. She motioned her head to the large house with the red roof.

“There it is. I’ll make you some hot cocoa to warm you up when we get inside, okay?”

holdingmyworldsdestiny:

“While it’s all wet and rainy out? Not really.”

Rainy days were just for being sad, as far as he could tell.

“Then let’s head to my home, alright? I’ve got an umbrella we can both use.”

Rebecca offered her sleeve for him to hold onto, she was a teeny bit too tall for hand-holding to be comfortable. With her other hand, she took her umbrella out of her bag and opened it, a rainbow of colors in the rain. It was one of her favorites, a gift from a friend.

“Any day, I guess!” He didn’t know anything about buying and selling in this world. Silver had learned very quickly that what was used for value in his own world made little difference here. “I just wanna find something that makes me look special.”

“Makes you look special, huh?”

Rebecca tried to think if she had any unique clothing. Maybe…

“How about today? Y’got anything to do today?”

holdingmyworldsdestiny:

“Yeah… that too.”

He wasn’t fond of getting wet. It was a very strange sensation, unfamiliar. Silver preferred to be nice and dry. To enjoy the rain from a safe location, as opposed to being out in it.

“Where does a person find clothes?”

“In stores, closets, garage sales, basically any place where you’d be able to find someone selling or giving things away.”

“What day would you like to come over and take a look? Tomorrow maybe?”

Rebecca wondered if she had a spare poncho to give him for rainy days.

holdingmyworldsdestiny:

“I guess it couldn’t hurt to try!” Those were words he would never let himself forget. When trying on clothes, try on what was a little too big for you. That way if you grew out, it still fit. “Trying on clothes is probably more fun than standing out in the rain with an umbrella.”

“Y’don’t get wet when trying on clothes either, as much fun as listening to the rain may be.”

Rebecca was actually really excited to show Silver what silk fabric was like. She had a few pairs of gloves and several tops that were silk.

“I wonder if there are any that would fit me. The other time I tried clothes on I couldn’t get it past my stomach.” Blaze wore a much smaller size than he did, and being on the heavier side didn’t help. He was going to need a bigger size than the average person.

“Since I’m a bit taller than you, my clothes will probably fit, hun. When trying on clothes, it’s always smart to try on stuff that looks too big for you. It’ll fit one way or another while being nice and comfy, too.”

Rebecca went through her mind to see if she remembered if she had any large, baggy clothes he could try on first.

“I guess.” Help was just something he wasn’t used to. He gladly leaned into the petting, which only made him feel even more, and more sleepy. If she kept that up, he might have fallen asleep right then and there.

“Rest if you need to, Silver. I’ll be here when you wake up and I’ll make sure the swelling goes down.”

Rebecca gently pet him, rubbing between his ears as she sat there with Silver in her arms. Triton had curled up next to them a moment ago, already fast asleep.
