Silver explains to Idia that he “cannot let anything happen to Malleus”. Idia comments that Silver is “way more loyal” than any of the students in his own dorm, and asks if that loyalty is just a result of being scared to defy Malleus.
Silver responds, “I don’t know much about Ignihyde and its students, but I will do anything for the man I have pledged my loyalty to. Without Malleus and Lilia, I wouldn’t be standing here today. I simply want to repay my debt to them. And if some trouble were to befall Malleus, I’d like to avoid a war between the human countries and Briar Valley at all costs. I may be limited in my abilities, but I want to do what I can.”
While just as loyal to Malleus as Sebek Silver and Sebek differ in opinion on how strict they ought to be about guarding him: Silver tells Malleus that if he ever finds Sebek’s presence stifling he should tell him “as clearly as possible”, while Sebek insists he wouldn’t dream of stifling their liege.
Silver expresses exasperation about Sebek’s insistence to do things like handle clothing stains on Malleus’ behalf despite Malleus being perfectly capable of such simple feats of magic.
In a vignette Silver explains to Kalim that he and Sebek got into an argument about the strictness of their patrols, with Sebek accusing him of negligence toward Malleus.
Silver is distraught by the thought that he has hurt Malleus by failing to understand his feelings, saying that he couldn’t even eat his favorite risotto at lunch, as “Whenever I lifted my spoon, I would think of Malleus and stop.”
After Kalim reveals that he “would be completely lost” without Jamil, Silver decides that being overprotective must be avoided at all costs.
Despite this devotion Silver losing track of Malleus is a recurring theme, but in the main story we see that it is not exactly Silver’s fault: Malleus runs actively away from them at one point, with Sebek blaming Silver.
Silver and Sebek also lose sight of Malleus during the Glorious Masquerade social, and despite Silver reassuring Malleus that he will accompany him on his stroll around campus with his tsum, by the time Silver has figured out how to carry his own tsum along with him Malleus has disappeared.
He loses track of Malleus again at the end of the event.
Malleus also disappears in Book 6 to get some space away from Sebek, despite how Silver has been cautioning Sebek to not become an imposition and not to give in to paranoia, let he not be ready to act when it is truly needed.
