Summary; In order to help Shadow, Lyra has decided to befriend Silver.
Log; Lyra felt a sense of obligation to Shadow. After all, she'd taken him in, and somehow she couldn't stand to let Shadow get into something on his own. So she decided to help in the best way she knew how- dealing with people-manipulating them if necessary.

So Lyra was waiting outside the fountain with Pantalaimon, practicing what Cobray had taught her. Two minds working as one to imitate telekinetic talent... And Lyra was getting a lot of practice. Snowballs zoomed in circles around her, occasionally crashing into passers by. Now, what was the Cafe's new name?

Silver was rather excited about meeting with Lyra that night. Ever since he had first come to this city Mephiles was the only one he really knew. There were also the other two hedgehog's, Sonic and Shadow, but he didn't know them. Shadow, he didn't really like Shadow. The hedgehog kept trying to tell him things about Mephiles that just couldn't be true. As for Sonic, well, Sonic was gone.

Pushing those thoughts out of his head, Silver made his way towards the fountain. He saw Lyra standing there, and saw what she was doing, his smile growing at the sight. His tattoos glowed as he lifted himself into the hair and flew over to her, landing softly beside her. "Hi! Lyra?"

Lyra jerked her head up, her control over the snowballs lessening as they flew off in all directions. Pantalaimon stood looking attentively, a few feet away in in the snow.

"Hello? Silver right?" Lyra grinned broadly, looking down, for once, at her companion.

"You want to head over to- what's it called? Moondeer?" she asked.

Silver smiled up at her, nodding. He wondered what the cafe was like, he's never really been to one. There wasn't really a lot of places to go in his world, everything being swallowed by the flames.

"Moondeer? Is that what it's called? I thought it was something about stars..." His voice trailed off and his eyes shifted, looking over at nothing in particular. He turned back to her and smiled again, "Let's go!" The hedgehog was so childlike most of the time.

"Moon-space-stars, something like that anyway," Lyra shrugged, "Yeah, let's head over there. I en't sure how long they're open for, anyway."

In the back of her head, Lyra began taking down notes. Most of her attention, however, was focused on having fun. She didn't expect to get anything important out of Silver tonight, besides some trust.

"It's this way!" Lyra took off running, Pantalaimon at her heels.

Instead of walking, Silver decided to use his powers and levetated himself up so that he was eye-to-eye with lyra. He was happy that he was making another friend, he had so few. He spent almost all his time with Mephiles at the warehouse, though Mephiles did leave occasionally. Silver usually didn't though, he enjoyed it there. Sure it wasn't much to look at, but it was as close to home as he could really find here in the city. He did go out to Xanadu gardens occasionally, and there was that one time when Mephiles disappeared, the same day there were those shadow creatures.

This part of the city was new to him though, he usually didn't like to go further into it, prefering to stay on the outskirts. His eyes were wide as he took in the surrounding sky-high buildings and the hustle and bustle of all the people making there way through the streets. He followed behind Lyra, letting her take the lead since she seemed to know where she was going.

"What do they have at this Cafe?" Silver was curious.

"Coffee, tea, sweets and stuff. Dunno, they might have changed that, along with the name though," Lyra shrugged as she ran towards the familiar building.

"Oh, you were right. 'Starbucks'. Well thats an odd name. I've never heard of it before," she remembered some other people complaining about it though. Well, everything seemed to be going fine, so far.

Lyra skidded to a halt in front of the building, kneeling down to pick up Pantalaimon before she headed in.

Silver looked up at the sign about the door, 'Starbucks Coffee' it read. The white hedgehog thought the design was rather silly. A mermaid? For a cafe? It didn't really make much sense to him. He looked over at Lyra as he followed her in, landing softly of the floor and walking beside her. His eyes widened at the anime in her arms, he hadn't noticed it before.

"Oh! Who's this?" Silver stepped closer to Lyra, looking curiously at the creature she held in her arms.

"Oh, this is Pantalaimon," Lyra absentmindedly wondered if Silver would be able to sense Pan wasn't a normal animal. Most people never looked closely enough to notice the spark of intelligence in his eyes, or the way his reactions and expressions tended to mimic her own- until he opened his mouth, they assumed he was some sort of pet.

"He's my friend," There wasn't any point in giving a more complete explanation of what he was.

There was a line of people waiting to order, so they'd have to wait a minute or two to order. Lyra took the time to scrutinize the menu.

"I dunno what all these things are... I'l just order a big cup of chocolatl-hot chocolate," she explained, "Do you want that to?"

Silver simply looked at the animal for a moment. He noticed something different about this creature than to those he's run into before, but couldn't quite place it. He mentally shrugged and looked up at Lyra, "I like him!"

He looked over to the front of the store but couldn't really see the menus very well because of all the people in front of him. He pursed his lips slightly and was just about to float up to get a look when Lyra spoke. He blinked up at her, not quite sure of what Hot Chocolate was, but it sounded good at least, why not give it a try? He smiled and nodded to her. Looking around, he saw a couple of free chairs in the corner, the big cushioned type.

"Do you want me to go get us some seats? Before they're all gone."

Lyra smiled happily when he told her he liked Pan.

"Alright. Pan'll come over with you- he can help save me a chair, and I'll need two hands for our drinks," Lyra smiled slightly as the person in front of her recieved their order.

"Two hot chocolates please- Size? Umm... What's the biggest one? I want that!"

He smiled and nodded to her. Looking behind him to see if Pan was following, Silver made his way around tables and people and chairs to the free ones of the corners. He slide into one of them and smiled as Pan jumped onto the other. Curiously, Silver looked around the cafe at all the pictures on the wall and merchandise on the shelves as he waited for Lyra to get the drinks.

Silver found the cafe rather stunning. The soft colours of the wall mixed with the smells of the brewing coffee and the sounds of people talking softly. He just looked around at everything as he waited, his legs swinging.

Lyra came over soone enough, carrying two steaming paper cups of hot chocolate with her. Pantalaimon climbed off the chair to let her sit down, before climbing up into her lap after she set the cups down.

"This is amazing, en't it! This city... It's got a lot of stuff we don't have in my world," That was probably a good thing to talk about. Discussing current events would just be depressing.

Silver's attention snapped to her when she sat down across from him. He looked at his drink and his eyes widened slightly. "Wow! That looks really good!" The whipped cream and chocolate drizzle on top making the drink look more like a dessert than anything. Silver picked it up, using both hands, and took a small sip of the drink. He smiled and licked his lips. "That is good!" He took another sip before setting the hot chocolate down.

Glancing up at Lyra he nodded, "We don't have anything like this where I'm from, either. There's not really much of anything there..." His voice trailed off and he turned his head, looking out the window, not wanting to think about what was happening back home.

Lyra took a large sip. "Yeah, en't it? I've never had it with this stuff on top before-it's good, anyways."

Apparently, talking about home wasn't such a good idea. Lyra turned her head to the window, watching passers by.

"So... The way you lifted yourself up... It's the same thing I did with the snowballs. Tele... Kinesis..." Lyra spoke slowly, as she sipped her drink.

Silver just starred out of the window for a moment. He turned back to the table and took another sip of his drink. As he set it down he looked down cross-eyed at his nose, where there was now a dallop of whipped cream. He laughed softly and licked at his nose, letting his eyes un-cross and focus on Lyra as she spoke.

"Yeah," He nodded, his quils bouncing with the movement of his head, "Psychokinesis. I can levitate myself, bend and move objects, even freeze someone. These help me control it." He held up his hands to show the bracelets around his wrists and the tattoos on the back of his hands.

Lyra laughed at the spot of whipped cream on his nose, and licked away the brown circle that had begun to accumulate on her lips.

"Really? Cobray's taught me to move stuff around, and set up shields- and this thing with a sword, I'll show you some other time," Lyra smiled happily, leaning over the table to inspect Silver's hands. Pantalaimon leaned forward from her lap, poking his head over the table to investigate.

Silver nodded and lowered his hands once they both had achance to look at them. He grinned down at Pan, the anime looking cute with just his head visible.

Silver continued to drink his hot chocolate and once agian looked around at there surroundings, his legs swinging. He wasn't really sure what to talk about or what to say to Lyra. Silver wasn't really all that good with people. Even back home, before he met Mephiles, he didn't really talk to anyone, there was only Blaze, he missed her.

Silver may have been rather awkward, but Lyra was certaintly able to talk enough for both people. In between sips of her hot chocolate she went on about interesting things she'd seen in the city and read on the network. She smiled cheerily, Pantalaimon watching the hedgehog for any reaction.
