A gift for @suntails my beloved <3 Based off her iconic and incredible Sheriff Silver nui. I wrote this while we were on call to flex how fast I could write. I am sharing it for the world to see.

(I'd say Silver is about... a preteen or a young teenager in this one.)

“Father… what is this?”

“Oh, just an outfit I found while out on my travels,” Lilia replies smoothly, eyes shining as he rests his fingers against his chin, his other arm folded. “I thought it’d look rather cute on you, so I decided to buy it back, hm?”

And cute Silver looks indeed! Even as his eyebrows pinch together, a v-shape forming between the brows as his lips press together, Lilia cannot deny how dashing the outfit looks on him. He wears a bandana, wrapped around his neck, covering a matching vest and shirt. A sheriff’s badge is pinned to his lapel, signifying the role the outfit mimics. With a pair of chaps covering his pants and a pair of spurred boots, the final thing to finish off the look is the massive hat on his head — a cowboy’s hat, as it is called.

Despite the authority the outfit is supposed to radiate… Lilia cannot help but grin at how sweet Silver looks in it. If he only put on a serious face instead of a confused one, he would surely emit a powerful aura that would drive any enemies into hiding!

“Father,” Silver sighs, shoulders slumping as he shakes his head, “not that I want to turn down a gift, but… why did you get me this?”

Lilia pouts; does Silver not believe his words? “Does it matter?” he sighs, shaking his head morosely. “Don’t think too hard about it.” And as he says that, he reaches out to pluck off the hat and ruffle Silver’s hair.

That, at least, elicits a smile. My little sheriff, Lilia thinks warmly.

Not that Silver knows what a sheriff is, for that matter. Or a cowboy.
