Silver's antennae twitched once at the waiter's comments, and she crossed her arms in front of herself in thought before replying.

"I... I think so. I can't think of anything else I need."

She glanced off to one side for a moment, then looked back at him with a slight smile on her face. She then moved a bit closer to him again and gave him a hug, adding a few words of appreciation as she did.

"Thank you. It may be your job and all, but I do truly appreciate your service."

The waiter nodded and awkwardly returned the hug, "I try." Straightening himself, he nonchalantly spoke, "If you ever require my services once more, do remember that you have the bell." Reaching into his pocket he withdrew a piece of chalk. He looked at Silver, "You only need to ring it once for me to hear it. This is goodbye for now."

He tapped her arms, "Though you should probably release me first."

Silver was quick to release the waiter when he tapped her arms, however, she couldn't help but straighten out his suit coat as she replied to his previous statements.

"I will be sure to ring the bell if I need you."

She stepped back away from him with a smile on her face, and gave him a slight bow.

"Until next time, sir waiter."

Bowing towards her, the waiter turned around. Drawing a door, he readied himself to step through. Silver would notice that the entire time, he had, in fact, not taken the flowers off his head. Giving Silver a wave, he pushed the wall open. Before stepping through, he sighed, "For what it's worth, Miss Silver, I did not mean to be so harsh. You and I are immortal beings. Friendship is something that should not be given so easily, especially to someone such as me."

With that, he stepped towards the door.

Silver waved back at the waiter as he left, her expression not changing after he had spoke. Just as he was about to go through, she calmly spoke her reply.

"You could say the same thing about Citrine and I, however that didn't seem to change anything in the end.... Which is especially surprising considering the circumstances at which we met, but that is a story for another time."

She paused for a moment, absently reaching into her sleeve before continuing.

"Friendship is not something I treat lightly. Most beings I speak to won't even be alive on the off chance that I may return to a planet after a certain number of years, not to mention the issue with trust I have to the majority of them. With that knowledge, I keep to the shadows and remain unnoticed by many. There are worlds I have been to who didn't notice my coming, barely noticed my existence, didn't shed a tear when I left, and I give myself a ten year minimum to most worlds I visit."

She glanced down at the ground for a moment, then looked back at the waiter with a smile on her face.

"And then there are those beings who actually notice me, manage to gain my trust. I hold on and cherish the memories of those beings as ones to remember for the rest of my days. I still converse with those I have met on a regular basis, along with their children, and children's children. I am also a rather loyal being, a protector of sorts, and to those I fully trust and consider as friends... Lets simply say that if the time comes, I will protect them in any means, even if means to sacrifice my life. Whether you will need that service or not, it would still be open to you."

She then pulled the cuff bracelet from before out, then casually tossed it towards the waiter. He could easily catch it, or simply let it fall to the ground. As it went through the air, Silver spoke in a neutral tone to him.

"Its your choice to make, Seigfried Gram, just know that I will accept either one."

"My life, is inconsequential." He watched the bracelet fly to him. It suddenly stopped and floated in midair within his arm's reach. "I am the man in the background. I am the person who sees everyone come and go. I am the shadow that dances upon the wall. To give me any more significance than that, means I become a person in your eyes and not just a tool. That is why I was not given a name."

Adjusting himself, he looked at Silver, "For future reference, I personally dislike rushing in an attempt to catch something. Makes me seem like a bloated walrus." Reaching over, he grabbed the bracelet and clasped it onto his wrist. Bowing to Silver once more, he gave his final farewell, "Goodbye, Silver. Do not be a stranger."

With that, Siegfried walked through the door.

-------------------------------

Once he had done so, and closed it behind him, the waiter looked at his two brothers staring at him. He quickly responded, "She wished for the flowers to remain until I decided to take them off and this is a tip given to me by a customer. I was wounded in the line of duty because customer satisfaction takes all priority."

The other two waiters turned around and went about their business. The large woman, Annette, stormed over and smiled at the waiter, she spoke in a strange dialect, and despite her muscular size she had a surprisingly light voice, "<Where have you been papa?>"

He looked at the amazonian woman, "<I was servicing a customer. You may have these flowers.>" Taking the wreath off his head, they floated over to hers. Her grin did not fade, "<How long were you wearing these for?"

"<I am unsure,>" He flatly admitted. A look of worry came across her face, "<Forget? Waiters do not forget. Are you alright?>"

The waiter nodded his head, "<Of course I am. Do not fret, I was asked not to remember.>" She frowned and smacked the back of his head, "<Alright, if you say so. Don't worry me so much.>"

He simply nodded his head, "<I will not.>" Annette pointed at the bracelet, "<And now that. What is the truth behind that?>" The waiter looked at it and shrugged, "<It is a gift. From a friend.>"

Silver smiled as the waiter disappeared through the door, giving him one last wave as he did.

"I won't be."

Once the door was shut and gone, she turned towards her desk, humming a little tune as she went towards it. She stopped in her tracks and went silent when she saw the sugar glider sitting on top of it, munching on one of her cookies she keeps hidden around her desk. She crossed her arms in front of herself, smirking a bit and tilting her head to one side at the glider.

"Energy...?"

It looked up at her, blinking one as it quickly swallowed the cookie it was working on.

"What? We had to do something while you were busy squealing about cockroaches and making new friends."

She rolled her eyes and shook her head before continuing.

"Whatever you say... Either way, I feel like making cake!"

"Celebrating, are you?"

"... Do I have to be celebrating to make cake?"

The glider went silent in thought for a moment before shaking its head.

"Not necessarily, but you usually make cake when you're celebrating something."

She stuck her tongue out at the sugar glider for a moment, then turned to go to the kitchen area, stretching her arms above her head as she did.

"Hmmmm... What kind of cake should I make? Something yummy... Maybe lemon poppy-seed?"

"Do you or Venomblood even have ingredients for that? Much less, does Venomblood even have cake pans here?"

Silver snickered as she slipped into the kitchen before replying.

"I have cake pans with me... And lemons. Not sure about the poppy seeds though, haven't made that kind of cake for a while."

The sugar glider went silent for a moment. It set its cookie down and crawled over to the edge of the table.

"Mind if we ask WHY you have cake pans with you, Goddess?"

She burst out laughing, taking her a few minutes to compose herself before replying to Energy.

"Because sometimes I really want to have cake in the middle of whatever wilderness I might be in, and its really dang hard to make that work without them."

Energy sighed and placed one paw on its head, muttering something under its breath. Silver started up her humming again as she lurked about the kitchen in search of cake ingredients. There was going to be cake made one way or another... And it was going to be delicious.

Emma is wheeled through the doorway into Vince's lab as she looks around."Oh my, That is amazing, never thought I would see a power like that."She looked around."Are we really in Piltover Miss Lily?"

Upon entering the lab, one might quickly notice that it smelled like some one had been recently baking. If some one were to continue this investigation, they would notice a lemon poppy seed pound cake complete with a bit of glaze on top sitting on the kitchen table and was still warm. In the other room, Silver was peering over her notes, still wearing the kimono she had bought, and seemed to be consulting with the sugar glider on her table. Upon hearing Emma's voice, her antennae twitched once and she leaned back in her chair, and answering her question.

"Last I checked we were in Piltover, but who knows what Vince built into this lab. For all I know we've been teleported on the other side of the planet."

Lily clicked, "Mhm! We're in Piltover, and Silver..." The hand raised her voice so Silver could hear her, "Nice to hear you again! You really didn't have to clean the place! Honestly, it wasn't that bad when we left it!"

Nina looked around, sniffing the air, "Uncle Reggie was here." The hand whirred, "...How do you know that?"

The little girl smiled, "I can smell cake, but I can smell his cologne. Reggie was definitely here."
