Silver pushes open the door to Dark's office, shoving his hands into his pockets as he walks in. The oppressive atmosphere in here always feels like a morgue to him and he never comes in more than he has to. The only reason he's here now is because he was summoned.
"You wanted to see me?" he keeps his distance, a good few feet between him and the desk that Dark's sat at.
The grey ego glances up from the papers he's looking over. "You know why I called you here."
"What? Your new stray?" Silver's lips quirk in something akin to a smirk. "Don't worry I'm not planning to mess with him."
Dark frowns and places his hands flat on the desk as he pushes himself up. "You're not going to go near him. You're not going to talk with him, you're not going to spend time with him. You are going to leave him completely alone." the air is pierced by the high pitched ringing as Dark's anger slowly comes to a head and though the hero winces, Silver just continues to glare at him. "Am I understood?"
Silver narrows his eyes in mild confusion. "Are you honestly worried about me getting between you? Are you really that insecure?"
"Am I understood?"
Silver takes a deep breath, staring at Dark. There's more he wants to say, about how this insecurity is stupid , how he doesn't give a monkey's ass about the green-haired moron Dark's apparently been keeping in his bed, about a fair few things but you know what? He doesn't want to go anywhere near this Marvin, and if Dark wants to pretend that it's because Silver's afraid of him, let the baby have his bottle.
Raising two fingers, he gives a mocking two-finger salute. "Aye aye Captain Asshole. Keeping away from the magic man. Now is that everything or can I get lost yet?"
Dark glares for a couple moments more before he dismisses the hero and Silver resists the urge to stick his tongue out and just turns to leave.
When Silver gets to the doorway, Dark calls out. "Give my love to Roxy."
Silver throws a glare at Dark over his shoulder. "Oh fuck off."
