"No way..." Red took a couple of steps back. "You're his son, aren't you?"
"So what if I am!?" The red headed boy cried out, clutching his nose. "Who are you to judge me by my parents!?"
"Someone who no longer has any parents..."
"Arceus, I wish I never knew him, he's a fucking psycho!"
"You say that but at least you have someone around!"
"Yeah, someone who's the boss of a fucking criminal organisation!" Red paused, shocked at how easily he had said that. The boy finally took his hands away from his nose as the bleeding had stopped. "So what, I said it. I don't care what he did, because it doesn't define me."
"Silver..." Red mumbled, her attitude towards the boy in front of her suddenly changing.
"How...how do you know my name?"
"You were on TV, fifteen years ago. That's where I saw you...and your eyes are still the colour of sad clouds..."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"Never mind. Anyway, I'm sorry for probably breaking your nose." Red held out her hand and Silver reluctantly took it.
"I'm sorry for calling you lowlife scum." They shook hands, while Fletcher stood a little ways away, completely dumbfounded by what he had just witnessed. Red was first to pull away from the handshake, before realising something.
"Oh right, I never introduced myself. My name is Red, and the one looking like a confused Goldeen over there is Fletcher, my travelling companion."
"Red's a rather strange name, isn't it?"
"Well so is Silver."
"Touché, Red."
