[Sleeping is difficult, but Ryuunosuke's just as pumped as he was yesterday, even if this does involve walking to the lake.]

Yeah, it's no problem! He did more for me than I did for him, but we had fun!

[Ahhh, they're so pretty...!]

[We're almost there, we're almost there--!]

I don't know if this will be as fun as what you guys did, but Honchkrow and I are gonna give it a try anyway.

[In fact, now's a good a time as any to let out his crazy bird, so he does, and Honchkrow settles down on Silver's head.

He is entirely too big for Silver's head.]

I should probably warn you that you could possibly die. I mean, me and Honchkrow never have, but there's definitely a chance that we could all die.

Hey, Honchkrow!

[Again. This poor bird cannot escape.]

So what are we gonna do? I don't want to die, but this sounds fun!

[Dangerous = fun, always.]

[...Fuck it, Honchkrow's sitting on Ryuunosuke's head instead. He likes this one.]

Well, first we'll fly over the lake.

[Sounds simple enough.]

Once we're really high in the air, we let go of Honchkrow and free fall.

[Well that's kind of-]

And right before we hit the water, we grab back on.

That sounds cool!!

[FISTPUMP!!]

You sure you can catch us, Honchkrow? Should we maybe go one at a time...?

[He can't exactly look up at the bird, but boy is he trying.]

...It's better if you go with me. Honchkrow could catch us, but he'd probably rip something in the process. I'm the one that grabs onto him.

[And he doesn't like Ryuunosuke's chances of successfully doing that alone.]

As long as you can hold onto me, it'll be fine.

[Yeah that's. That's probably a legit concern, um.]

Sure, no problem! I can definitely do that! This sounds really, really fun, Silver!

[He's bouncing in place!! Look at all of this enthusiasm!!]

Don't worry, it's more fun than it sounds.

[In fact, he's starting to crackle with electricity from excitement.

But hey, they're at the shore of the lake! And Honchkrow eagerly flies ahead of them, hovering right by the water.]

Alright, then let's do it! This is gonna be so cool!

[FISTPUMP!!!]

[Silver heads right over to the lake, and...

Doesn't grab onto Honchkrow, actually.]

Before we go, can I show you something?

Huh? Yeah, sure, what is it?

[Following...?]

[Well, he heads into the water until it's up to his knees, but it really doesn't take long to see what Silver wanted to show him.

There's coral emerging, in all sorts of different colors, and some of the chunks of coral look like little Corsolas, whatever the fuck those are.]

I learned to make something new with my emotions.

[...but his skinny jeans will get wet!!!

Ugh, fine, in he goes...]

Whoa, cool! How'd you make those?

[This is legitimately cool though, because you grew a thing with your emotions!! It's a different thing!!]

The same way I make my flowers, but in water. I made a bunch when I was working on the obelisk. You should give it a try.

[Come on, Ryuunosuke! You can do it!]

Huh... Alright, let's see what I can do!

[The amount of appreciation he's pouring into the water here is kind of impressive. And look, he's actually making something grow!! It's a...]

...Okay, is that seriously just a cactus growing underwater.

[That is seriously just a cactus growing underwater.]

...Your cacti are resilient.

[Don't laugh, do not laugh, do not fucking laugh. Just keep a straight face and be supportive. Nothing funny here.]

Okay. Things I can do: create magical cacti that grow underwater. Yeah, this is definitely an amazing skill.

[oh my god]

You should try learning Dunamis. Maybe you can fire projectile cacti at people.

[...Okay he's absolutely making fun of him, but that would actually be kind of cool.]

I still don't really know what that is, but I did figure out how to turn my glitter explosions into a weapon!

[IT WAS SO COOL, SILVER. YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN THERE.]

...You did?

[This sounds like a story.]

I did! This guy Frog - he's a literal frog warrior, but that's what he told me to call him - was fighting off these winged serpents, but one of 'em went after me. All the sparkling I was doing temporarily blinded them so I figured I could probably get a more useful effect if I literally blasted it in the eyes with glitter!

[HE SOUNDS SO PROUD OF HIMSELF...]

...I have no idea what a frog is, but that was a really smart move.

[...]

Dunamis is basically that. It's focusing and wielding your emotions like magic.

[That is the most simplified explanation of Dunamis he could possibly give, but here we are.]

Huh, really? Well then I guess I've got a natural talent for it!

[...]

Though I guess I've got a natural talent for magic anyway, so that makes sense.

[NOT REALLY HE JUST GOT REALLY LUCKY(?)]

Yeah, you do.

[You're cool, Ryuunosuke!]

If you get really good at it, maybe you could make a tidal wave of glitter.

Ah... That sounds super cool! What a great idea!

[oh no silver what have you done]
