omg silver best risotto-fed boy... do you think other than his usual meals he has any eating habits surrounding his training regimen?
oh yes...... Oh yes. surrounding his training regimen specifically actually! i have been thinking about this a fair amount and: as far as eating habits are concerned, i have noticed that Silver doesn't really speak about his own too much. compared to the rest of the cast, at least, but even still he has his moments and they're usually related to his exercise.
-i like to think that Silver isn't wiry in stature, since most of the time he spends awake is spent in athletic situations as it is. he learned to dance with a log that boy has to have some muscle somewhere! combine this with his training regimen and his horse-riding, and you realize: he burns so much energy on just a daily basis because what physical activities he does are that extreme,, i think he definitely spends his daylight hours hungry.
-i have no major backing for this one but i do believe that he eats a fair amount of rice. his favorite food is already risotto, i think a bowl of white rice would heal something in him he didn't know was wrong. (also i have the vision of him waking up in the morning for training and just scarfing down a bowl of fluffy white rice that you can boil in a minute or two on his own before he goes to meet whatever task the day may bring he would find its simplicity comforting and its fillingness useful)
-more in relation to his training i do believe he also gets a fair amount of protein (eggs and meat and the like) but i also believe that he has to have at LEAST eaten something weird from the botanical gardens at some point in the pursuit of staying awake. he already has all those alarms... i am afraid he would be susceptible to mushroom-induced paralysis in the haste of the right moment.
-i don't think that he's particularly picky about any one food. i think Silver could probably dull physical disgust if he had to, as we know that what he dislikes is Lilia's cooking, and that makes me believe that he definitely has one strong stomach to be able to just power through any of that. unflappable tummy (his White Rabbit vignette supports this, what with the way he sees the stargazy pie and despite his and Epel's initial reactions, Silver needs no convincing beyond the pie seller's insistence. he just eats it, unflapped by that fish headed abomination, and he likes it too. also, it was an ENTIRE PIE that he managed to eat... he could pack in so much if he were inattentive enough about it.
-beyond this i think he would like soy milk. or even almond milk both due to its flavor and benefits. i'm not sure when he would drink it but i just know that he would. also, just the bitterest black coffee imaginable.
tldr silver would make an adorably hungry pillow princess (even if you have to wake him up multiple times) (you can still feed him) and i will not be stilled
