[At first, Silver isn't sure what Cater's talking about. But then he remembers what he said to the ginger boy after Cater returned from the Unbirthday Party, when Silver realized what had been taken from his friend. He hadn't thought Cater would be returning that compassion to him. Shameful, it's shameful that he couldn't contain his emotions the way he'd trained for. A knight is supposed to place others above himself.
But he's not a knight here, is he? He's a Submissive, expected to grovel rather than choosing to serve. Thank the Seven Idia isn't like many of the other Dominants. Still, that doesn't change the fact that Silver's role has changed in this city.
The truth is, he never wanted them to worry about him, not when they have their own fears. It has nothing to do with his training, only his gentle heart.]
... I don't want us to fight. We're... we're all we have. It's the one selfish wish I've made. [He leans heavily against Cater, reaching up to rest a hand over Idia's.] You're my family here. I don't... I can't let us fall apart.
