Rouge blinked slowly, completely taken aback. Well, that was... half a victory, she supposed. "Silver," she said as she straightened, "you are too much. I know we just met and all, but - never change." She glanced over at Sombra, giving the Chao a wrt smile. "Having a good time, are we?"

At being addressed, Sombra tried to put on as innocent a smile as she possibly could, swaying gently back and forth on her heels with her hands behind her back…but it didn’t last. It couldn’t. It was too funny. Even if Rouge hadn’t reacted in as flustered a way as she’d hoped, it was still far too amusing to keep that toothy grin hidden for long.

Silver looked back and forth between Rouge and Sombra in confusion. "I.. have no idea what just happened," he moaned.

"I know you don't," Rouge said in a soothing (albeit slightly patronizing) tone. "But here's a word of advice - it's generally not a good idea to go around asking ladies about their chest size. I know a few who would have kicked you in the head, and I'm not sure that poor noggin of yours is up for more of that."

"Ch-chest size?" Silver blinked. "Wait, I asked you about your chest size?!" His entire face flushed a bright red and he turned, snapping his attention the small chao seated nearby. " SOMBRA!!"

The hysterical fit of laughter that erupted from Sombra at that caused the world to spin, she felt light heated. Holding her stomach, the Chao rolled off the pillow and onto the floor with a thud, not even that halting her from laughing.

"THAT'S NOT--WHYWOULDYOU-THAT'S NOT--" Silver's fur puffed out, making him look twice as thick as usual. He cupped his hands over his face and turned back to Rouge. " IAMSOSORRY!"

Rouge reached out to daintily pat the hybrid on the head, crooning at him in a voice bubbling with amusement. "There, there. You're not the first to fall victim to the little devil, there - she'd as devious as she is cute, just like me! Though - you're lucky it was me." She could just imagine what would have happened if it had been, say, Amy. Heh. Rouge wandered back to the window then, looking over the planet. "So - any particular reason you're in this era?"

His cheeks still burning even as his fur began to settle back into place, Silver shot a glare at Sombra and gave a frustrated huff. He was going to need to keep an eye on that one. Following Rouge up beside the window, a more somber tone seemed to sweep over him. Looking down at the planet below, he couldn't help but feel his emotions welling up in his chest again. "Originally? I was sent here to--" he paused, recalling Shadow's reaction when he had just blurted it out the previous night, "--stop the person I was told was responsible for creating my timeline. My world... your original future... was destroyed before I was born. It wasn't like," he gestured at the blue and green orb, " That. It was all fire and magma and ruins. My people struggled to survive and lived in fear. I wanted... to give the world a good future." He turned, scratching at the back of his head with a sheepish grin. "Now though? I guess you could say what brought me back again was loneliness."

"You.... missed the friends you made here. Or rather - now." Rouge nodded thoughtfully, eyes still fixed on the planet. "You know - I can see that. It can be... hard... to find people you can deeply trust. That you can see yourself staying beside no matter what." Hm. Getting a little personal there, bat-girl. She flexed her wings, turning to Silver. "So how's the future look to you now? Now that you've come here?"

"Uhh," Silver blinked. "Well, I mean, I don't really know. The threat that caused my future to happen is gone now, so, no matter what happens it's not going to be like the world I grew up in. It's not like I've gone back to the future to check how well things are." That statement hung in the air for a moment as the cogs in his head turned. And then his face lit up. "OH, wait, you mean my future? My personal future?" he paused for a moment to consider that. "I'm sure it's going to be great! There's flowers, and trees, and food, not to mention all the people! There's so many new people to meet and so many weird things to learn about! Sonic gave me a bag with all these weird colorful little edible rocks in them and they were so sweet they caused my mouth to tingle!" A frown tugged at his lips, and he glanced down at the floor. "The bad thing is that no one remembers me. But I guess that just means I have a second chance at a first impression, right?"

Rouge had to smile at Silver's little spiel. What must it like, to be so amazed by the reality of every day life? "Well - I know about the finer things. Tell you what, once Shadow's back I'll show you someplace good to eat." Might as well introduce him to some real luxury, she decided; he seemed like someone who could thoroughly appreciate it. His second statement brought a contemplative touch to her smile, though, and she was quiet a moment before speaking up again. She'd encountered someone who didn't remember her before, but this was a little different. She wondered if Silver had known another version of her, now locked out of time. Interesting. "Well," she said at last, "a new impression is always a fun thing to try to make. And hey - with your future looking so bright, looks like you have time to rebuild those friendships and get started on some whole new ones."

"Oh, food would be great! I don't have anything to offer in return though. And... yeah, I guess I do," Silver pondered over that. Rebuilding those friendships. Something about that sentence, in particular, struck him. No one in the alternate timeline had been what he felt could be a friend. Between hunting down Sonic, fighting with and eventually calling a truce with Shadow, and then there was... Silver paused in consideration. That pink hedgehog - Amy. Apart from Shadow, it was her he had spent the most time with. She had probably been the one he had come the closest to forming a genuine friendship with, only to discover the person she was looking for had been the same person he had been hunting. The manner in which they had parted ways. He had already had an opportunity to try to apologize for what he's done to Sonic (regardless of whether or not he remember), but her... Silver frowned, his brow knitting together. "Do you know someone named Amy Rose?"

"Amy?" Rouge smiled a little, eyes half-lidded. "I know Amy all right. Interesting girl, that one." Her thoughts drifted back to a previous notion, and she chuckled. "Definitely not a girl you want to ask about cup size." She turned to Silver, head tilting. "Anyway, we're acquainted... do you want me to reintroduce you?"

Silver hummed somewhat reluctantly at the offer, turning his focus back toward the planet below as his lips pressed into a thin line. "I feel like I should apologize to her. For something horrible that I tried to do," he eyes trailed up towards the ceiling. "But I mean, she wouldn't remember. So I guess there's really no point."

"Maybe not," Rouge agreed. "After all, you'd only be introducing something she doesn't have to be burdened with." For a moment, she considered asking what that 'horrible thing' was. But then: did it matter, if it never came to pass and even the attempt was erased? Hell. It's not like she didn't know anyone who'd done horrible things. Even a few herself, really. At least Silver had another chance. "Maybe," she said at last, "talk to, I don't know, the planet? ...like you're talking to her. Get it out of your system. Then you can go make your second first impression, hm?"

By now the Chao’s painful amount of laughter had ebbed into catching her breath and finally to just her sat on the cushion listening in for anything more worth paying attention to. Her face twisted into a confused sneer at Silver’s dilemma. “<What’s the problem? It never happened so…nothing to feel bad about.>” she chirped.

Silver grunted, scratching in irritation at the side of his head. "Maybe," he muttered. "Shadow got on my case for worrying about things that never happened. Maybe they didn't happen for everyone else, but I remember! It happened for me!" His eyes fell to the softly glowing rings on his gloves. "It's weird having memories of people who don't remember me. It's like I'm some kind of ghost. Like.." his face paled as he looked up, locking eyes with his own reflection, ".. I never existed."

Rouge frowned slightly as she watched Silver. She could never say she understood, maybe - but hell, who said she had to understand the exact problem? Besides, the hybrid looked like he was going to dissociate or something if she didn't step in somehow. And boy wouldn't that be fun all things considered! So she seized him by the shoulders and turned him to face her, putting his back to the window so that the vastness of the planet wasn't a distraction even in his peripheral vision. A little rougher than necessary, maybe, but if it got his attention? Good."Okay, that's enough." She honed her voice to just this edge of sharp, wings flaring wide as she kept her grip on Silver's shoulders. "You exist now, got it? So that's enough. Focus on now. The hell with the past. You've got a future to build just like everyone else, you hear me? So are you gonna do that, or...." She paused and then lowered her voice. Just enough honey to soothe, especially considering her next words. "...or you need another kick in the head to convince you?" She topped that off with a wink, her grip loosening just slightly.

Feeling the world whirl around him and the cold glass pressing against his back, Silver's stunned focus shifted onto the bat in front of him. He gulped hard as she spoke. "Y-yes!" he squeaked, nodding his head. He then quickly blurred it into a shake. "I--I mean no!"

The Chao admittedly flinched at the sudden movement, hovering with the rhythmic flapping of tiny bat-like wings being the only sound to come from her as she watched Rouge lecture the hybrid. After Silver had given his answer she fluttered over, smiling. Not her usual wide toothy grin, a smaller impressed smile. “<This is why she’s the boss. She doesn’t let Shadow get away with being too moppy either.>” She let out a chuckle. “<Think about it. She gets to tell the ultimate lifeform what to do and he does it.>”

She kept her grip on Silver a moment longer, studying the hybrid's face... and then, evidently satisfied, released him. "Good." Still that softer tone as she glanced aside at Sombra and then back at Silver, smiling slightly. "Just... keep that in mind, all right?" And then she was back to the flippant tone as she turned away, walking back into the space station. "So with that out of the way... what've you got to eat around here?"

Wilting away from the window with a long breath, Silver looked between Sombra and Rouge. "Umm. There's something Shadow called pizza in the..." he paused, waving a hand in the direction of the fridge. "In that thing."

"Refrigerator," Rouge said automatically. "Good enough... want me to heat it up, or you want it cold?" Not that Rouge was especially domestic, but she wasn't sure this time-traveling yahoo of Shadow's could be trusted with an oven. Or even a microwave. She'd seen microwaves suffer some pretty tragic fates. "What do you like to eat when there's no leftover pizza?" she asked as she rummaged in the fridge, working the box out without jostling whatever else Shadow may have in there. Food was one way to get this guy's mind off moping...

"Cold?" Silver asked in confusion. "I didn't know you could have it cold.. Shadow had me heat it up?" Floating along after Rouge, Silver pondered over her latter question. "I really like watermelon when it's in season. Peppers are also pretty good."

"Well... you can try it cold if you want." Rouge shrugged as she backed out of the fridge, closing it with a bump of her hip. "Which is better really depends - thin crust you shouldn't heat up, but pan? Gotta get it nice and crispy." She looked over at Silver and grinned. "Trust me darling - I'm a professional." In season... huh. She'd never really considered the idea of 'in season', not in a world where whatever she wanted could be grown and flown in; it offered some insight into what Silver had left behind. "Well. Maybe later we'll get you some, I don't know, shaved ice. It comes in watermelon... or just a watermelon if you prefer."

"Umm. Well, you know more than me so you're definitely the exper--shaved ice?" The minkhog paused to consider that. "What, you mean like the white sky crystals? What's the other word for it.." bringing a knuckle up to his lips, he pondered, then shook his head. "Right! Snow! I sometimes heard stories about it about the Time Before. So it comes in watermelon?! Does this mean watermelons, like.. rain down from the sky or something?! Like brimstone sometimes does?!"

Rain down from the sky? Oh boy. She could see why Shadow wasn't willing to let Silver roam free just yet; Rouge liked to believe she had a pretty accurate Bullshit Meter, and from where she stood the hybrid appeared to be one hundred percent sincere. "Noooooo." She drawled out the word, voice lilting with amusement as she went on. "Generally speaking, it doesn't rain flavored snack products. And if it does, you probably shouldn't eat it. What happens is they get the ice, crush it into powder, scoop it out, and then add the flavor. Here." She handed him a slice of pizza - cold. "Try this while I get started on heating some of this - then you can decide whether you want hot or cold. And after that - we're gonna watch a movie." She had just the thing... though she'd have to make sure he understood it was fiction. Silver wasn't stupid, she could tell that much... but there was no telling how far his naivete went.

Silver closed his mouth to prevent the question on the tip of his tongue, instead looking down at the pizza slice. Whatever a 'movie' was, he figured he was about to learn whether he asked or not, and he felt self-conscious about having to ask what everything was anyway. Such a strange, alien world. He bit into the pizza. And speaking of things that were strange and alien, his brow furrowed. While the food still had a nice taste to it, the cold sensation in his mouth felt off in a way that sent a small chill through his spine. Something told him that cold food was something he was just going to have to get used to, but as Roughe had given him the option... "Hm. I think I'd like this better warm," he commented. Idly, picked at one of the chunks of pineapple off and nibbled at it. "What's this yellow stuff? I really like it."

"Not to worry, sweetie, we'll get it heated up for you soon. Cold it really best for morning-after anyway." She got to work heating the pizza up, glancing over at the 'yellow stuff'. "That's pineapple. And with that and the hot-cold debate... you've come across two of the three Great Pizza Controversies." Pizza in the over, she set the timer and turned back to Silver. "The third of course is anchovies."
