Turn that frown upside down [Video/Action]
[It had a pretty simple beginning. ...Okay, maybe not simple. Silver needed a distraction. Badly. And Ingo was a rather comfortable and effective person to serve as a distraction. Of course, Silver wasn't consciously aware of this at the time. If he had to be asked why he would go to Ingo at his time of need of a distraction, he'd honestly say that he wasn't sure.
But there he was, spending time with Ingo. Nothing too heavy, just some casual conversation. Of course, some casual conversation with Ingo... Led to a question about a certain rumor about his face. Namely, the fact that Ingo always frowned. Was his face really stuck that way? Silver had to know. Of course, when Ingo confirmed that it was false, he needed proof. What, is it comfortable to frown like that? Yes didn't quite seem like a legitimate answer, so...
Silver took on the task of finding the answer through firsthand face experience.
Which left the obvious "if you can smile, why don't you?" ...But Ingo does not simply smile. Of course, there's gotta be some way to get him to smile. Which is where everyone else comes in.
So Silver heads to his journal and flicks on the video. Both he and Ingo are present.
He has a harmless and innocent enough question, if a stupid one. And an awkward one.]
So what's a good way to get someone to smile?
[Feeling the need to provide context, Ingo adds his piece, albeit awkwardly.]
Silver is attempting to get me to smile, you see-- ah, it's a little unnatural... But he'd like to make the endeavor.
[Which adds on to the initial awkward, so Silver adds a little more to the table.]
It's a long story.
[Once that's sufficiently awkwardly dealt with, it's off to go find something that can make the two of them smile by walking around... Well, everywhere.
The frowns never leave their faces. There are a lot of conversations about trains, subways, and Pokémon. Puns are included. Do you dare to take a ride on the super double frown subway? It's quite the challenge and it takes quite some time to make it to the next station.]
[SO HEY, A RIDICULOUS AND LIGHTHEARTED POST. Ingo is present! Tagging order is You--> Ingo --> Silver.]

hell yeah
Hi. [Oh god what does he say. Worn out? Yeah, just a little. But that's a pretty constant state of being.]
no subject
What can I do for you? [A warm drink? Idle conversation?]
no subject
oh. Oh. Right.] I was wondering if there's anything I could do for you. [...] You took care of me when I was little. I want to repay the favor.
[It's a true statement, but not the real reason.]
no subject
I don't think you have to repay me for landing you with a head injury. [that was awful shjdg] But you're welcome to keep me company if you wish.
I hope you were alright, being that young, however... Did it last long? [when'd you go back to normal?]
no subject
It lasted for less than ten days. [Which is ten days more than he would have liked, but that's in the past now.]
no subject
Hm... [He shakes his head. Poor Silver...] And it didn't help that those nonsensical happenings punctuated it for a while, either.
[The doors and the lava and the crazy tree-talking nonsense.... Ah, those gossipers.] But at least it's since passed.

[silver was young, so the details might be kind of fuzzy... Actually, how does that even work?]

He goes to the sink to get a glass of water for himself; he'll offer one to Silver too, before coming back to sit in one of the two armchairs in the room. (He went and got another one when he figured Silver might come over more often...)]
Regardless, I'm sure a good portion of it was false, so the unrest will hopefully settle with time. [He was lucky enough not to hear anything about himself... but don't count your
chickens before they hatchpassengers before they board, as it were.]no subject
It might take a while. It's hard to separate fact from fiction, and some people [Rin] have been on board with taking everything at face value.
no subject
Hmm. That's a dangerous mindset. [(Understatement of the year.) Ingo's frown deepens, concerned.] I suppose you've had a brush with those types?
no subject
1/2
You were-- [A visible jolt of surprise (and possibly fear, on Silver's behalf) crosses his face, and he instinctively leans forward a little in his seat, free hand gripping the armrest. Silver was there? It burned down everything! That can't be-- is he hurt? No-- no-- he looks fine-- he's fine-- it was a week ago, besides, and he wouldn't be sitting here in front of Ingo if he'd been incinerated--]
no subject
... Extremely dangerous. [Yyeeaaah.] But-- you seem unharmed.
no subject
no subject
...That's fortunate. I'm glad you're not injured. [He sure doesn't look glad, though.] So that was an extended result of the rumors... Did you have a hand in ceasing the fire?

[Chandelure floats close to Ingo and nuzzles his face gently in an attempt to get him to stop looking like his Lillipup got kicked. This does distract him a little, at least... his eyes lighten, but his frown doesn't. It's pretty much stuck there permanently.]
