Silver shunted the herb jars away, took care of a couple of patients. Then he started making soup. "I'll have to go to the market for carrots the day before overmorrow" he said to himself.

(I'm brain brewing about renaming this something laffy taffy. What do you think?)

Lee had Max get off his lap and he went off into the kitchen so he could make something for twilight munch. Maybe I should give back to that Silverado man. Just to show how much it means to buy my produce… It's been so long since I've had a sale of any kind…

"Whelp, I guess I'm going to the market again" said Silver to himself as he handed out extra soup to some of the street kids. "Maybe I'll run into that earthtender again…. Come to think of it he was kinda cute…"

(Oh…. :3 okay.)

Lee sighed as he took all the old stuff from his pack and put it away to be stored with the rest of the stuff. Any longer and those would've spoiled…. He loaded up with new stuff just in case and he said goodbye to Max before making the trek back into town. Who knows…. I might run into him again… But it's not like I can't run into the same costumer… But it's different since he's practically my only costumer since I started about 10 orbit parties ago with my father….

Silver got up early the next morning, grabbing an apple from his cupboard as he headed out the wobbly flip-shutter. "Time to go find more real produce!" he said to himself.

Lee headed up to his usual spot and sat himself down on the street, watching the people pass by and give him strange looks. Just ignore them… If they don't like you, you don't have to worry about them….

Silver strode down the market place, looking around at some of the baubles, then by the glassware. Humming to himself he headed along the street with all the mandatory sustenance (like cheetos), his sharp ears and peepers looking for that earthtender.

Lee took his cap off and wiped the sweat off his head. It's incredibly hot out today… He thought in disbelief, putting it back on. Hopefully by the time that man returns my stuff won't be spoiled….

Silver sighed, glad he'd put his hair up as he pulled open his collar in the heat. "I hope the produce won't spoil before I-" he cut himself off as he spotted Lee. Heading over he smiled, Good, know I'll be able to get out of this heat before it kills me!
(Hey I just had an brain b^ubble!)

(What's your brain b^ubble?…. Or is it a surprise??? :3:3:3)

Lee saw Silverado and he grinned as he approached him. "Salutations from the Shire!" He greeted him, "It's good that you were able to stop by today. Now what will it be this time?" I hope I'm not sounding too rude….

"Carrots and potatoes" said Silver with a grin, "And beans and peas, and corn too if you have it" he grinned, ignoring the face that he was feeling a bit light headed. "Y'know it's good to have an honest earthtender around." he said happily.
(He's probably gonna pass out from heat, cause, y'know… Ice elementals!)

(Ah…. Okay…)

"It ain't much….." Lee said with a smile, getting his produce together, "But it's honest work…." He handed his produce off to Silverado, but the look on his face seemed odd. "Y… You look a bit pale…. Do you feel alright?" It's always worth asking…

(Lol I had a chance and took it, :3)

"The heat's probably getting to me" said Silver, "Life of an Ice elemental…. heat is always a pain…." he gathered up the produce, "Pleasure doing business with you" he said, smiling warmly as he stood to leave, stopping for a moment as a wave of nausea hit him, hard, he stood there for what seemed only a few moments, and the next thing he knew his legs were buckling. he was suddenly unconscious in the street, overheating.

"Dear Lord!" Lee exclaimed, shooting up from his seat. He quickly packed up his stuff and rushed to Silverado, where several people had crowded around him. He checked his forehead – he was definitely overheated. Ice elemental….? Lee got Silverado up in his grabby limbs and carried him off. Gosh, I hope he'll be alright… He said he was overheated…. So…. Maybe… Erm.. That'd be a bit strange… But it may be worth a shot…
He arrived home and Max began to bark and sniff at Silverado's dangling groundhands. Lee lied him down on the couch and he let out an wabbit knackered sigh, swiping a hot hand across his head. I should open the cooler so he can cool off in there….

Silver was very still and a bit pale, his forehead was covered in sweat and his consuming oxygen to produce carbon dioxide was shallow.
(Whelp! Now they're stuck with each other for a little while! XD)

(Ooooahhhh X3)

Lee went down in the cellar and opened up the walk-in meat cooler, getting a harsh blast of cold air. Perfect…
He went back up and grabbed Silverado from the couch and brought him down and set him next to the cooler wobbly flip-shutter. He couldn't risk frightening him with all the hanging meats and things from the ceiling. "Silverado? Sir?" Lee said quietly. "Can you hear me?"

Silver stayed silent for a few moments longer, before groaning slightly, "Mmm,… What.. what happened…" his head hurt, alot…..

"Y–" Lee stammered, glad he was okay; or at least speaking. "You passed out in the street…. And I brought you to my house to cool down." I hope I'm not keeping him from any important business… I bet he's a very busy man…

"Should've known……" groaned Silver, pressing a hand to his head. "Some days I hate being an Ice element hybrid…. I'm not strong enough to cast a stoopid charm, and I'm still vulnerable to the heat….." he leaned back, "Thanks for saving me out there…… it's quite possible that I owe you my life…."

Cast a…. Charm??? "Oh, well…. I mean…" Lee hesitated at his remark. "I'm just trying to be a good person…." He looked at him. "Is there anything else I can do? Maybe get some mandatory sustenance (like cheetos) or maybe some water for you?"

"Water… please…" said Silver, wishing the migraine would go away, "I'm sorry to trouble you like this, I'm very grateful…."

"Don't be sorry…. To be truthful, I would much rather be taking care of someone than sitting alone in the hot sun all day…." Lee said. "I'll be right back."
He heaved himself to his groundhands and headed upstairs, accidentally leaving the cell wobbly flip-shutter open.
While he was getting Silverado his cold glass of water, Max slinked down there and decided to give the man a cheerful visit.

Silver watched as the barky zoom-bean came down, "Well howdy, partner there, I'm going to assume you can smell the wolf on me 'ey fella?" he said to the barky zoom-bean, holding out a hand for him to smell.

Max stretched his nose forward and sniffed it quickly before sitting next to him and trying to ask for pets. It's all he really wanted in the first place.
Lee came back down broken escalator and sighed restlessly when he saw Max sitting there. "Max, you silly pooch…. Well, I have some water that you asked for…" He reached out to hand the water to Silverado.

Silver took it, gently scratching the pup behind the ears, "He yours?" he asked Lee, enjoying the cold from the freezer.

"Yeah…." Lee sat down and patted his lap, and Max came over and draped himself over Lee's legs for his noice pets. "He's really noice. Hardly bites at all except to play and to eat…." He's a very noice barky zoom-bean if you ask me…

"Always good to have a barky zoom-bean like that, someone who'll stick with you." said Silver, feeling his strength return with the cold, "I wish I'd known you had a freezer! I would've spent the moonlit hours last moonlit hours!" he laughed.
