WHO: Goro, Silver, & Liz
WHERE: apartment..!!!
WHEN: 2/15
WHAT: UNITING and chocolate making probably
WARNINGS: none. cuteness? cuteness.

[Immediately, the moment they were allowed to return, Goro'd gone back to the apartment he shares with Silver and Liz and had been ASSAULTED BY PETS.

For a time.

Belle's content to never leave his shoulders now, purring like a race car and trilling happily, while Gold paces in waiting for Silver and Potato keeps being at Elizabeth's heels while she helps him with chocolates. It's a real chore with the Savannah's large size (she's grown so much, when will she stop), so it's all very nice..!!

Of course he'd given her a hug immediately, hadn't let go until he'd felt better, heartstone bleeding out relief and love for a dear friend. Now Goro won't stray too far from her. He'll be the same towards Silver, but that's for the moment Silver steps through the door. Catch them in the kitchenette, Silver, there is plenty of things covering the counters and not all of them are the solid chocolates. There's tarts and whatnot too.]

[Silver arrives home not to one, but to two cats desperately climbing up his back and onto his shoulders- Belle's poor habits seem to have rubbed off on Gold- and Potato aggressively circling his feet, which combined with an absurdly large drink from starbucks and several bags of various purchases makes actually getting into the apartment something of a damn journey. A not at all unwelcome journey, but a journey.

Sneasel's a whole lot faster to greet Goro and Elizabeth both by virtue of bolting right into the kitchen and latching onto their legs. Hi! Hi--!]

I'm home.

[That's all he's going to call out while he gains his bearings, but maybe that's exactly enough.]

[elevelvetor]

[ That's exactly enough for Elizabeth to turn from making chocolates, pointing a smile down at Sneasel— ]

Hello there, Berlioz.

[ —before she pats his head and slips out of his grasp with a little difficulty, marching her way to Silver proper. Potato gets a nudge out of the way and she doesn't mind either cat as she slips her arms around his waist, giving him a little squeeze. ]

And hello to you, Silver. Welcome home. [ ...She minds the cats a bit, she's allergic and she wants to hug him properly, god dammit—she doesn't really do physical affection and the one time she does her boyfriend is unfortunately being hogged. ] I hope you're in the mood for something sweet... Goro's been very determinedly working on desserts since he arrived back. I presume they're mostly for his boyfriend, and we're allowed to have some if we'd like.

[ She didn't ask she just heard "cooking adventure" and went SURE, I MISSED DOING THIS WITH YOU ]

[twostringsonebow]

You are more than welcome to have some, both of you. I'd like to show my appreciation to my friends just as well.

[Let him just... Finish this cat's nose and whiskers... There. Okay, he's setting his icing down to hug Sneasel and pick the Pokémon up if he's allowed, coming over to greet Silver with a one-armed hug as well. He's not gonna let go.]

The cakes are for you, the chocolates are not. Feel free to enjoy a torte... or some hot chocolate, I can make a cup for you if you'd like, after spending time in the Arctic Circle.

[mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm he missed you both so much.]

[feistytrader]

[Sneasel is so happy he's getting attention and being picked up, okay? This is the best. Almost as much the best as the damn frozen north.]

I picked up some food and hot chocolate on the way here. I'll still take anything you made, though. Everything you make is worth its weight in gold.

[There's a reason Goro's the cook between the three of them. Despite the multitude of stuff in his hands and the cats making things a bit awkward, he still manages to wrap his arms around both Goro and Elizabeth. No one is free of this group hug. Not a damn person.]

How was hell?

[twostringsonebow]

[... That is so sweet, oh no, he really missed Goro('s cooking)???]

It was a relief from the cold, at first, but it became tiring after a while. We had hot springs and fire-breathing horses, dragons and ghosts... Magic stones and stories of a weapon that could essentially mind control the world. Rather trite things, compared to what I heard from Akira.

[Because of course they've been texting a lot this month. Poor Liz, so squished, he'll give it a moment before stepping away again. Gotta give the lovers their time..!]

Miss Liz is the one I'm most jealous of. [he loves u boo. his heartstone is overflowing with it.] She's been able to keep temperate this whole time.

[Not too hot, not too cold... but she had to worry about them instead.]

[elevelvetor]

Might I remind you that February is not exactly the warmest time of the year, Goro? I'm sure the city's temperature must be preferable to what each of you have experienced, but really...

[ She's teasing, honest, giving Silver a quick squeeze and... a soft kiss on the cheek before she steps back too, hands going behind her back. ]

It has been much easier to keep an even temperature, yes. [ Never mind that she doesn't actually mind the cold anymore. It's still bothersome, but not as much as before... ] The city's been quiet, the chimeras in the tunnels and a handful of important people disappearing aside. I went in with Kyouko to check things out, and evidently we're to get more information on what to do next somewhat soon... I'm very interested in seeing how that turns out.

[ ... ]

Please be more careful, however. [ Turning to pinch Goro's cheek— ] All of that sounds dangerous, and if it's trite compared to Aki's— [ she is going to pinch Silver's cheek too, don't worry. ] then Silver, you should be extra careful. I heard from Ms. Marker that those in your group hadn't lost any levity despite the cold, so I do worry...

[feistytrader]

There's nothing to worry about. Goro's got it backwards; you should be jealous of us, not the other way around.

[The amount of sincerity in those words might be the most worrying thing of them all.]

We're helping a wolf defeat some darkness and get a better hold of its magic.

[And so that everything will be safe, but. The wolf is cool, the wolf didn't make them sleep outside.]

[twostringsonebow]

[Ah, they were both pinched...]

Well, at least you're handling it well, then... though there's nothing to be jealous of in my situation; I was electrocuted earlier, it gave me quite the fright. Magic to end the world and all that.

[Casual, like it's no big deal. Yup. Nothing unusual there. He pauses, then rubs his arm with clear reluctance.]

... That stays between the three of us, by the by. I don't want Akira to worry. He has more than enough on his plate, worrying over my health would be trivial in comparison anyway. It was nothing.

[elevelvetor]

[ ....Goro's getting another pinch. ]

I admit, I'm a little sore I wasn't deem "up-to-snuff" like the rest of you... More or less all of my friends have gone. [ And by more or less, she sincerely means like, everyone who's important to her. She pinches Goro's cheek harder, then lets go. ] I won't promise not to say anything, Goro... but I won't say anything if I see him today. You should enjoy the time you have, after all. I won't ruin it for you.

[feistytrader]

[...You know what, Goro's getting a pinch from Silver too. They make a great team. A great... pinching team.]

You should be the one to tell him that kind of stuff anyway. I'd worry more about a boyfriend that doesn't tell me when he's hurt than a boyfriend that took a hard hit but seems to be doing okay.

[Said the pot, to the kettle-]

[twostringsonebow]

[You two..........]

It really wasn't all that important, so I decline. In any case, chocolates? Catching up? Or should I allow you two some alone time..?

[... to do whatever it is you two do when you're alone in the apartment. He's inching his way back to the kitchen, as eager to leave this conversation as he is to make adorable cat faces.

[elevelvetor]

[ Alone time... Elizabeth glances at Silver. Hmmm. ]

Chocolates. We should finish making them before the chocolate settles. [ Reheating the chocolate is okay but like, if they don't have to, why not. ] Silver, please make yourself comfortable as well...

[ ........... ]

Is Berlioz allowed to eat chocolates?

[feistytrader]

[Alone time... It looks like they're settling down for chocolate instead, and Silver's more than willing to make himself comfortable on the couch if that's the plan here. Maybe the cats will finally calm down if they can settle down next to him.]

He's allowed to eat just about anything. Just don't give him too much, or it'll go straight to his thighs.

[Sneasel is heading up and slapping him for that, don't be fucking rude-]

[twostringsonebow]

[They do!!! Purr purr. Happy dog noise.]

Then come on, Berry, you can help me in the kitchen. It'd certainly be nicer to cool them faster after all.

[use your cold powers for good..!!!]

I'll make some more pet friendly Valentine's Day gifts as well. Can animals eat granola?

[elevelvetor]

If it's without anything poisonous to them, I believe so...? So no raisins or chocolate. [ Hmm. ] Moderation is everything as well... You would be better off making them flavored cookies or something though.

[ With like. chicken stock or something. ]
