Except... END and Zeref are Gray and FTs enemies. Silver isn't dumb. He knows that his son and Fairy Tail will have to face END. So it makes sense that he would give his son a powerful tool to use against a demon. He didn't ask to be avenged. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I just remember Silver telling Gray that END was a flame demon, that that was the reason he learned ice magic and that's pretty much it. If anything, Silver was just being practical.

All Igneel did was give Natsu words of inspiration.

And by your logic, the phrase 'actions speak louder than words' doesn't mean shit. So whatever conclusion either Of them came to doesn't matter so long as the words were pretty...
