Echo sighed, not liking that her suggestions of compromise were being ignored. Awkwardly, the girl shuffled over to Galaxian, staring at him and the cat for a moment, trying to chose her words.

"What do you think we should do?" Echo asked. As if in an afterthought, Echo added just loud enough for Galaxian to hear, "I mean, you could bring Missy if Silence came, since Missy is her cat and all. And I guess I could stop Silence from doing anything too... uhm... rash."

At this point, Echo didn't care if Silence came or not (of course, Echo wanted to go, but Hitan would probably ignore her), she just wanted someone to hear her out, even if the idea would be rejected. Of course, she probably wasn't going to get a reply, but it was worth a shot.


Silence stared at Hitan for a long moment before letting out a bunch of curses. When in doubt, Silence believed, curse your way through the problem. Then it at least becomes laughable, and you feel at least a little bit less stressed.

Echo made a face that could be read as, understandable,  have a nice day. She shifted uncomfortably, mostly because of Silence's cursing. It was getting a bit on Echo's nerves. Echo looked back at Silence for a moment.

Silence very suddenly stopped speaking. Well, she tried to continue speaking, but no sound came out. Silence then looked very confused at this, because, well, she couldn't say anything. Silence kept trying to speak, but nothing but a silent breath came out.

Echo smiled and softly said, "Ah, Silence, you're probably tired. Maybe go to bed? You did, in fact, uhm, wear yourself out trying to cast spells." Echo just wanted this to be over with, to be honest, and saw that Silence going back to sleep would be the fastest way of doing so.

Silence shook her head aggressively, then flipped Echo off. Seemed like Silence could pinpoint who casted the hex.

Silence sighed loudly, making it clear that she didn't believe Hitan's words.

we will ignore that they are already in the kitchen

Silence narrowed her eyes, watching Hitan leave.

Sus. Very sus.

Echo hummed, following Hitan into the kitchen. She actually wanted water, but probably won't stop Hitan from stealing things.

Fair.

Their fridge isn't like that, but they do in fact have water bottles in the fridge.

"Ah, uhm, looking for ice?" Echo asked.

"Well, uhm, well that's similar to ice," Echo said with a short chuckle at the end. She doesn't do anything to stop Hitan.

There's a lot of flavors, and in the back of the freezer Hitan can probably see dreamcicles and fudgecicles. Mmm, ice cream. He probably shouldn't mess with Silence's strawberry ice cream, which is in a small container in the door of the freezer.

There are also frozen foods, like vegetables and meat, in the freezer as well. The freezer seems very organized.

Echo gave a small smile.

"Of course. Do you, uhm, do you need help reaching for one?"

Her favorite would probably be vanilla tbh.

Echo reclined a bit, putting a hand up to deny. "O-oh! No thank you, sorry! I'm not much in the mood for sugar," she said apologetically. "Thank, uhm, thank you though."

Echo, unsure of what to do now, asked what is most likely the obvious.

"You like ice cream?'

"It's kinda cold, I think. I'm not sure either," Echo said. "I heard that some people get, uhm, uhhhh..." She muttered in Glitchian under her breath, quietly translating herself into English (forgetting that Hitan could understand her with either language). "Uhm... Brain freezes! If they eat it too quickly."

Echo shook her head and kind of smiled.

"No, North gets them a lot and says they, uhm, they hurt real bad."

She gave a quiet laugh, similar to that of a child's. Ironically, it was similar to the sound of a small song bird, light and pretty. It was melodic, and it was a shame that she didn't do it more often.

"Whenever he, uhm, whenever he complains about it, Silence jokes, 'How can you get a brain freeze if you have no brain?' She's, she's, uh, she's very funny, isn't she?"

Echo had a very good vocal impression of Silence, even making a head swaggle and the crossing of arms to go with the quote. Echo put her arms back to her sides afterwards, straightening her poster.

"A-a-and, and, and, and she's really smart to make a play-on-words, I, uhm, I think! North still eats ice cream fast, though.
