[Signless wakes to find himself in a new place, soaking wet and surrounded by unfamiliar sights. He sits up, grimacing at the pain in his wrists, and looks down at them, frowning. Burned, the skin darkened to a

What are you? [.. ignoring the burns FTW. That, and he doesn't see you are human, you look different. Therefore, who cares what happens to a non-human? NO-ONE, as far as Silver knows.

... that and the burns don't look like any burns he's seen before.]

[withoutasign]

[Interesting. Signless can tell this is a non-troll, but he has never seen a creature quite like him before.]

I am a troll. What are you, if I may ask?

[beforeistole]

A human, idiot. [... he's better as a teen, really. I swear. Mostly.]

And trolls only live under bridges and eat the stupid and pokemon.

[withoutasign]

Do we, now?

[Signless just smiles benignly.]

I assure you, I have no plans to eat anymore, human OR pokey men.

[beforeistole]

Duh. Everyone knows that what trolls do.

[...] Pokemon. Not...pokey-men. [Silver wrinkles his nose at the non-Japanese way] Pocket Monsters.

Like this. [He releases his Magnemite and Sneasel.]

[Signless watches as the child releases the creatures, and he leans forward in interest.]

So these are pokemon? Do they have names?

[He offers one hand to the friendlier looking of the creatures for it to sniff.]

Sorry I'm so slow ;_;

[beforeistole]

Yea. That one's a Magnemite and that one's a Sneasel. It's my favorite and it's a dark/ice type and normally not found in Kanto. [..He can rattle off a million facts about this Pokemon. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.]

Names? Nuh uh. Anyone who names them is stupid, or they are like... pets, or something stupid.

[The Magnemite just shies away while the Sneasel sniffs at it. Silver glares daggers at the electric type. thank god he doesn't raise his hand to hit it or anything, though it still shrinks back at the glare.] Sorry. I don't know what's wrong with the stupid thing.

you're fine... I know nothing about Pokemon, though, so which one is he trying to pet?

[withoutasign]

[Signless catches the way the small animal shrinks from the glare, and his expression clouds a bit, but he holds his tongue. He continues offering his hand, hoping one of them will trust him enough to be petted.]

It's quite all right, it's just being shy.

[He glances at the boy.]

If they are not pets or companions, what purpose do they serve?
