Silver healed slowly but surely. After about a month he was fine. The governor came to the inn one afternoon while the Doc and Amelia's kids were there, for Jim often found himself as their baby-sitter. He was glad to have Silver's help now that cyborg could handle the toddlers without too much difficulty.

"Jim Hawkins."

Jim leaped to his feet.

"Hello, governor." he said.

Silver stopped playing with the children to look up at the governor.

"John Silver."

Silver quickly stood up.

"Yes, governor?"

"I have been told the story of how you helped save everyone aboard the Legacy."

"Yes, sir."

"I heard you were here so I've come to see how you do."

Jim and Silver exchanged confused looks then went back to playing with the children. The governor was impressed by how Silver did with the children and how they reacted around him, for they did shy away from his metal hand or flinch at the touch of it, nor did they mind his other cybog parts or the sound of the gears. He was quite pleased with what he saw and made Silver a free man on Montressor.

Silver happily accepted Sarah and Jim's invitaion for him to stay at the Benbow Inn. To repay their kindness he volanteered to do the cooking.

That night they had dancing once again. Silver stood with the rest of the crowd, clapping with them. He was impressed as he watched Jim and Sarah dance. After a little while Jim joined his friend.

"Didn't know you could dance."

"I learned when I got home."

Silver nodded. He had heard Jim, but most of his attention was on Sarah, who was still dancing gracefully to the music. Jim noticed this and tried to get his friend's attention.

"Silver. Hey, Silver. Silver."

He snapped his fingers in front of Silver's face.

"Huh?" Sailver said as he blinlked quickly a couple times and looked at him.

"You were staring."

Silver blushed slightly and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Oh. Sorry."

"You really like my mom, don't you?"

"Jimbo!"

Jim chuckled.

"Well you were staring at her as if your hypnotized."

Silver blushed a little more.

"I've just never seen anyone dance the way she is."

Suddenly Sarah came over and grabbed his good hand.

"Dance with me, Silver."

Silver seemed startled.

"What? Oh, uh, no. I don't dance, Mrs. Hawkins."

"I've told you before, call me 'Sarah'."

Silver gulped before he spoke again.

"I don't dance,... Sarah."

Suddenly he felt someone shove him from behind. He looked back to see that Jim was one who had shoved him. He glared at him as the young man smirked.

"Come on, Silver."

Knowing it was useless to argue, Silver sighed and gave in. To his dismay the music then slowed to the waltz.

"I don't know how to dance." he whipsered to Sarah so only she could hear him.

"That's okay."

She placed his cyborg hand on the back of her waist, placed her left hand on his shoulder, and took his left hand in her right. Silver gulped again as they started to dance. To his surprise he didn't have much of a problem.
