"Yes it is, you brat!"
"Sorry..."
Offline
"Nope!"
Guess they don't have anything to respond to that. Maybe they don't understand what an apology is.
Offline
"It's definitely your fault!"
After a bit, Echo asked, "Can I give you a name? It feels, uhm, weird to not refer to you with one."
Offline
"Nope!"
"Hmm...sure! I don't mind, I think! Go for it!"
Offline
"Yes!"
Echo thought for a moment.
"Is the name Basil okay?"
Offline
"Nooope!"
The narrator snickers.
"Basil? What does that word mean?"
Offline
"Yeaaah!"
They're both like little, squabbling children XD.
"Uhm, i-it's, uh, it's a kind of plant, an herb. Maybe a mint? Uhm, anyway, it's a plant."
Offline
"Noooooope!" he stretches it out longer, this time using his tongue. Not literally, obviously.
"I don't feel like a plant. Those grow out naturally and have roots. I don't think I have either of those."
They think for a while.
"I know!" they declare. "You can call me Minty. But instead of a plant, it's like a coin. That has two sides."
I don't think they know what they're talking about, either.
Offline
"Yeaaaaaah!"
"Oh! That's a good name! Okay, I'll call you Minty, then."
Offline
"Nooooo!" he denies again.
"Thank you!" They seem a bit proud. "I'm sorry for not taking your name. Really, it shouldn't matter, so...it's just being petty for me, I guess."
Offline
"Yeaaaaaah!" Silence frowns.
"No, no! It's okay, I like the name you came up with. It's nice-sounding."
Offline
"Noooooo." He shows his tongue.
"Yay! I've come up with names before, but I'm no good at them."
Offline
Silence stuck her tongue out too. "Yeaaaaaah!"
"Really? I would think you're good at them since that's a good name."
Offline
He makes a funny face without using his hands. Honestly, it's impressive how his face can stretch out so long and still look cute.
"Well, that's because you already gave some inspiration. It's easy to go off of the ideas of others--not so much immediately."
Offline
"Hmph. If you keep making a face like that, it'll get stuck, brat."
"Oh, I guess so. Name choosing is hard though. Uhm, oh, what's the phrase? Oh! Teamwork makes the dream-work, or s-something like that."
Offline
"You're just jealous you can't do the same!" he exclaims before sticking his tongue out again.
"Oh, this is a dream? Hmm..."
They apparently do something on their end. It's not visible or anything to Echo, though.
"...guess I missed it," they conclude.
Offline
"I'm glad I can't do the same! My face always stays pretty!" Silence scowled.
"Hm? What is it?" Echo asked.
Offline
"If your face stays pretty, you'd be able to do it," he points out.
...it's kinda illogical logic, but it also is logic, if that makes sense.
"I don't know. I'll figure it out," they say.
Offline
"No, because that face you're making is rather unattractive."
"Oh, okay. Uhm, what did you mean by, uh, by dream?"
Offline
"Nope! You're just jealooousss!"
It's actually cute, though. Though it's not as strong as an effect in some other world, it's still there.
"I think that's my line. I don't know what I meant or what you meant."
Offline
"Am not!"
"Oh, sorry."
Offline
"Haha! Silence-san is jealooousss!"
"It's okay" is their response. "I don't understand a lot of things, so...that's how it for now."
Offline
"No I'm not!"
"Hm... Maybe I can give you one of my dictionaries? I'm not good at English. Well, don't think so, anyway. But, uhm, maybe it'll help? It helps me, personally, 'cause I'm not good at English. It helps me understand words and stuff, so maybe it'll help you?"
Offline
He giggles cutely, but also obnoxiously.
"Maybe. But I can't read. Not in the same sense, but still. That's what I think. That's what I'm guessing, at least."
Offline
"Brat!"
"I could read to you! I wouldn't mind it, I like reading."
