[Putting his initial people-vs-animals outbursts aside, the residents at SBG may have noticed Silver has been awfully... quiet lately. Even if he is usually like a bull in a china shop the boy was more then capable of flying under the radar when he wanted to as Lyra would know, given the whole "stalking you" thing.
The main reason for this being that I am full of fail and can't RP lately it was late December and that meant his birthday, followed directly by Christmas. Two holidays that inadvertently have some bad memories attached to them ever since his daddy left. Seeing his father on either of those days was not something he wanted to do, however knowing the man and his various attempts at reconciliation, simply telling him to scram back to whatever little cave he was hiding in all of those years wasn't going to work. Rather then facing his father who had the audacity to want to celebrate with him, he simply used every trick he had to make himself as invisible as possible until the holidays were over.
It wasn't until today that he had even bothered to return to his dorm and open
the presents left for him by Lyra. The hat was... unforgivably stupid, the cookies also stuck him as being stupid. Then again given the poffin incident it really wasn't his place to criticize her cooking skills. He would have appreciated the pokemon-related gifts if he didn't see them as patronizing.
And yet... he couldn't bring himself to throw them away either. Though he wouldn't admit it: he was appreciative of them even if they were annoying. Still in typical tsundere fashion he was going to act like he hated them no matter how much he secretly was thankful.]
Your presents are so stupid...
