"Hmm, I dunno. I think this is cuter," Gold says, unable to resist teasing Trip a little. He doesn't even know what a Vanillite is. He hugs the plushie absentmindedly as he talks.

"Oh, I haven't mentioned Silver before?" Gold's actually surprised. He's so close to Trip by now that he could've sworn he'd talked about him, but... Maybe he really hadn't. Huh. "He's my best friend from back home! He's not here, but I'm hoping he'll show up. I was... on my way to save him when I ended up here so I'm pretty worried about how he's doing."

Gold spent his first few weeks in Ultern constantly worrying about Silver, and some of his worries return now that he's thinking about him... But seeing a present addressed to Silver kind of makes him feel better. Like it's an inevitability that Silver will arrive at some point to receive this gift.
