[Silver is Silver is Silver. Upon finally waking up, he immediately tries to pull himself up... And it's a bad idea. His head spins. Despite the fact that he's awake, he's still very weak, and trying to act like he's not gave him a big reminder of that. He rethinks his actions and slowly pulls himself up into a seated position.

So where is he? What time is it? How long has he been out? ...Where's his journal? That's the most important thing right now, he has to-

There it is.]

[His handwriting is downright awful, but it's legible, especially since he's slow enough about it. And he only has one thing to say.]

Is it over yet? None of you died, right?

[The you is directed at the people he knows, but he is far too drained to make that distinction or ask much else. ...Might be a good idea to let him know just how late to the party he is.

Or visit him. There's always the visiting option, although that option might not be pretty; as long as it's been, it still doesn't change the fact that he more or less looks like he's about to die, like he won't open his eyes if he closes them again. He barely even has the energy to hold himself upright.

But company would be nice, especially since he's... Not exactly going anywhere. He has his Pokémon, of course, they're all but hovering over him because he's okay and he's finally awake (jeez guys, calm down,) and he even has Chandelure in his arms (because he needs to be reassured that everything's alright and that he Did Good,) but it would be reassuring to see that everyone's, you know. Okay.

And absolutely not the other way around, because he's totally just tired.

Yep.]

[Silver you caused everyone emotional trauma by nearly dying.]

Call me when you're done.

[And he could have caused everyone emotional trauma by actually dying along with Ingo and Raven.]

You make it sound like I'm not gonna see you.

You know how boring it was without you around?

...Huh? [Whuh- huh- bo..ring...?]

You heard me, boring! I haven't had anybody to drag off to do stuff with!

You have plenty of friends.

Only one best friend.

[OH DON'T YOU GO PULLING OUT THE BEST FRIEND CARD- you pulled out the best friend card didn't you]

I'll be back on my feet before you know it. For now, go borrow a board game from Shikamaru or something.

[...] Tomorrow.

I've got video games for that. [Screw board games. More like BORED GAMES amirite]

Board games are cooler.

You should get more rest. You're talkin' crazy.

I'm not surprised that you can't handle the truth.

You musta gave up your brain energy too, moron.

Would you drop it already?

[Hmph.]

I took a calculated risk. We had barely anything going in terms of defending ourselves. Raven had a limp and all of our Pokémon were exhausted.

I did the right thing. You should know that I wouldn't do something like that if I could help it.

[You're gonna have to explain a bit more than that, Silver.]

...What? [Use your words, Gold.]

That's all you're gonna tell me?

That's more than I should need to say.

Make me understand what you did out there.

[Silver your best friend is stupid remember this]

It had been days. It was pitch black the whole time, so I can't tell you how many. You should know that better than me.

We were exhausted. Our Pokémon were so spent they might as well have been out cold. All of my Pokémon were, so Ingo traded me Chandelure for the time being. Needless to say, when we heard of the evac, we started heading right towards it. We were dead weight at that point anyway. There was no point in sticking around.

Then we heard something and went to go investigate, and it was Raven, with a limp, defending herself from one of them. We could barely help her get away from it. She started walking with us.

I guess fighting that one shambler must have caused a commotion because after that, as we continued moving, a few more showed up. And a few more again. They wouldn't stop appearing, and here was no way we were gonna get out of there alive. Not unless we were really lucky.

But luck's never really been on my side, so I had to improvise. That's when I remembered about Chandelure's source of fuel. [And Gold can fill in the rest from there.]

[Gold stares wide-eyed at Silver as he listens to the explanation. Every little facet of what happened. And then when Silver finishes explaining--and Gold's forced to draw his own conclusion by using what he knows...

...He just looks away from Silver now, ashamed of how he had been reprimanding Silver before.]

[Silver says nothing. Nothing to convey any anger or frustration, nothing to further portray how awful that draft was- nothing.

He simply looks down and idly holds onto and plays with Chandelure's hands.]

[Gold sits down on the bed, but doesn't look at Silver, keeping his gaze focused on the ground.]

...Sorry.
