"Yes, but a question asked does not equal an obligation to answer--and if an answer does result, it does not need to be concise, truthful, or answer the question at all."

"It wasn't. Don't worry." Not that that's reassuring, from what he just said, but he does mean it.
By the way, yes, she's actually wrong.

The affirmation he gives to her opinion is silent. Very classic. Very helpful.

"This is my home. The meteor shower was postponed to a later date," he adds, like he just read the news about it or something.
Still nothing. He's really fast.

"Yeah, the gods can do anything. Except--" he laughs, though the actual humor in the laughter is a lil lacking. "Ah, wait. The gods don't exist here, in our home! How convenient."
Wow, someone totally isn't salty towards the gods.
Well, at least he's good at connecting his sentences, kinda.

(Galaxian: *insert nihilism and bitterness*
Echo: Okay, but am I being Rude?)

Echo, although very loving of and loyal to her friends, can't remember crap to save her life. She's depressed and depression screws up your memory a lot more than one would think.

Although, she would admit that the voice she's been talking to seemed familiar. Thing is that she's... Extremely bad at connecting dots together. I'm fact, this is pretty obvious. She's a little bit oblivious, has been and probably always will be. But she isn't completely unobservant. Echo did in fact notice "our home", but she really couldn't figure out what the voice meant by that.

Our home... Our home... What could that mean? Echo thought about this.

Echo suddenly snapped her head up, realization finally kicking in after a very dragged out and anxious moment. She suddenly switched from nervous to excited. Hopeful, actually.

"You're a Forumer! You're a Forumer, right?!" Echo said and then asked. Her face lit up, a small smile on her face. She's a lot prettier and peaceful-looking when she smiles, a lot more... welcoming, too. She looked around frantically, in a humourous way, bouncing on her feet a bit. Echo's voice isn't exactly the loudest, but it raised significantly enough that her excitement was very obvious, if not already apparent from her actions and face.

"Are you a Forumer?!"

Echo isn't sure if that's a confirmation, so she tilted her head.

"Is that a yes?"

Echo started to ramble.

"So it is a yes!" Echo said happily. "I don't talk to other Forumers, really, so I dunno why I'm excited. I guess it's kinda exciting, though! Although I don't really know who you are. You probably don't know me... Uh, did I ever introduce myself? Gods, how rude of me, sorry... Uhm, I'm Echo. Yea, I dunno what else to add to that... sorry..."

She held out her hand as if for a handshake, although she doesn't really expect for the Voice to shake her hand. She doesn't expect the Voice to introduce himself either, so Echo continued on rambling with her hand out awkwardly.

"I wonder if I'm recognizable? I got a haircut and everything and stuff, so probably not. Like I said, I don't really talk to other Forumers, or other people, really. I dunno why I'm saying this. I guess I'm nervous? I dunno why I'm nervous, though. But, uh, yea. Did we know each other before? You sound familiar, but maybe not. I dunno. Uhm... Man, names and voices are so hard to match together..."

Echo was a bit taken aback that the Voice knew her full name. She blinked a few times before answering.

"Well... to be honest, uhm, I dunno. Like, I'm trying to be, uhm... what's the word... 'social'? My twin and my older brother both introduce themselves by handshaking, so I guess I thought that's how people... socialize? And, uh, I'm trying to get... 'better' at... stuff like being touched. I'm still not good at it, it's kinda weird. But, like, I'm comfortable with handshaking and high-fives! So! It's... getting better... yea..."

"I'm sorry I can't... 'reconize' your voice. I'm trying really hard! My brain's all foggy... It's in the file of my mind, though!"

What a weird way too express "It's on the tip of my tongue".

"The fact that I'm familiar to you makes this even worse... I'm sorry..."

She seems a bit disappointed in herself. Although there isn't really anything to look at, she looks away off to the side.

"And you know my full name... That's... Also not good..."

She's starting to get upset at herself for not being able to connect dots together. But as the Voice pointed out, Echo does in fact have recognition issues.

"Ah, uhm..." Echo's not good at matching names together. She's obviously struggling.

"So two parts?"

"Are they, like, connected by a hyphen or separated by a space?"

Honesty, Echo can't think of any names with a hyphen, but it never hurts to ask. Or does it? Echo doesn't know. There's a name that Echo can't quite reach, and she knows she knows it, so it's a bit frustrating that it's just not connecting.
