Silver was quiet as they entered the cafe and watched Jewel sprint off to the counter. Was it something they said? He seemed to be a bit shy, or at least flustered, so they gave him some space. They considered just leaving but it did seem like he wanted to keep talking, and they couldn't deny Eddie her cinnamon roll now that she had seen one. They went up to the counter and placed an order - green tea for them and a cinnamon roll for Eddie. Quark also stared longingly at a jar of cookies on the counter, so they got him one of those, too. Maybe it would keep him from causing any more trouble.
They sat down at the table somewhat awkwardly and stuffed the a large piece of the cookie in Quarks mouth while they waited for their order to arrive. Eddie smugly grinned at him, entertained by the rather forceful way Silver tried to shut him up. She snorted and let herself down onto the table where she plopped down cross legged and waited for her snacks.
"I guess... I could start at the beginning? I have a few other Harachiu friends," they explained. "The two oldest ones, they were given to me by a traveler as... little flowers. A long time ago. Eventually the petals unfurled, and inside were little... babies." They cupped their hands as if to show how small the little ones were. "They were totally helpless, like... like baby people, not like baby Houluh or anything... so I raised them, and eventually they had babies of their own." They paused briefly at odd times when talking, as they were trying to recall it as best they could. There were a lot of gaps in their memory, but they could mostly figure out what had happened well enough to tell the story, at least.
