"And then we still had to do the math test, even after the whole school-got-crashed-by-a-dragon thing. Like, seriously?" Allie plopped her spoon back into her ice cream dish and leaned back into the booth. "Priorities, hello. Anyway, how've you been doing?"

Silver shifted in his seat and stared at the ice cream cone in his hand. "All right, I guess. We've got a building now, saved up a lot to buy it and try to fix it up. You can come if you want. The others, well, the other kids are coming to help this weekend. Kureha's bringing her girlfriend, so I don't know if they're going to actually be any help or just run off on some romantic Lumiose date."

"Rude." Allie laughed and bopped his nose with a finger. "Don't worry, I can totes help you with the whole B&B building-slash-fixing thing. I mean, how hard can it be, right?" She paused. "...Are you gonna eat that?"

"Oh. Right." Silver gave a cautious lick to his dripping cone. His eyes widened and he smiled a little. "Sorry. I'm just not really used to food you, uh..."

Actually paid for. Allie facepalmed and laughed as Silver turned red.

"Hey!"

"Sorry, dude." She surfaced and fluffed his hair. "Come on, you've got a new life now. You can do whatever you want! But,uh, just don't steal stuff while you're here. I so do not want to get kicked out of anywhere."

His shoulders relaxed a little. "All right," Silver managed, and he took another lick of rocky road.
