[ What Lilia didn't know wouldn't hurt him, for now. His other hand comes up, too, resting over the other, as Cater made that comment, clearly too happy to even contain those tears anymore. Unlike with Malleus, who others knew Lilia was the caretaker of, Silver was... well, his own. Regardless, Lilia would get this emotional speaking about any of his boys.]

Oh my.... Who could've raised such a perfect man? Ah, right-! [ He lets out a small laugh, doing his best to wipe away those tears quickly with the back of his hand. ]

I'm sorry I don't mean to get emotional, it's simply-- It's nice to hear someone other than Malleus or Sebek say that. [ Right, they were talking about something else before this, weren't they??? It's forgotten, for a second, among the emotions this brought up. ]

Wait.
So, you and Silver... [ There it was, it hit him again. ]

Do you at least treat him gently, Cater? You better.... or else.
