XD With Echo's anxiety, she's bound to feel awkward anyway.
"Hmph... the small one." She doesn't trust Hitan.

"Are you sure? You wanted the big one, didn't you?"
Offline
Silence hesitates and then says sharply, "I made up my mind, didn't I? The small one."
Offline
"Okay."
He holds out a small Twizzler. It's wrapped in unconventional plastic wrapping.
"It's from the 1930s," he tells her, rather proudly.
Offline
Silence cringes back.
"...I'm not eating that."
Offline
"It's strawberry," he adds. "A strawberry Twizzler. One of the originals!"

"Hitan, dear, do you (censor)ing know what bacteria is? Do you know that food can go bad?" She's using a very fake polite tone.
Offline
"Duh." He shows her a bit of his tongue.
Offline
"I doubt that Twizzler is any good by now, you brat." Silence does it back. "And I would get sick by eating it."
Offline
"I bet I can eat it," he says, having a bit of a lisp due to not retracting his tongue. "Rai could too. And anyone else."
Offline
"And you would get sick because it's probably expired at this point. "
Offline
"Nope!" He peels open the wrapper. "Wanna bet?"
Offline
"What are we betting?"
Offline
"My health!" he declares, like it's obvious, and also like he doesn't care. He probably doesn't, to be honest.
Offline
Silence gives Hitan a Look, which is her famous, "You're A Damned Idiot" Look(tm).
"...Okay. Try it."
Offline
He proceeds to just swallow the darn Twizzler whole. He doesn't even chew. After finishing, he continues staring at her with that smug smile of his.
Offline
"Gordito, along with disease, you're going to get a (censor)ing stomach ache!" Silence scolded, shaking her head at him. "You can't just eat things without chewing!"
Offline
He just continues smiling.
The narrator is just glad he's not gonna start a Spanish roasting war like Shura did with her, 'cause they have never known enough Spanish for that.
Offline
Silence stares back at him.
Echo is watching the two of them stare at each other, fiddling her fingers. "Oh dear..." Echo mumbles very very quietly.
Offline
He pops out a much larger Twizzler out of nowhere and seemingly teleports to the door. Probably so she can't snatch it out of his hand.
Offline
Silence sighs, staring at Hitan from her spot on the couch.
"Are you really going to make me chase you?"
Offline
"I'm gonna give some loot to Rai," he exclaims happily, skipping away on air. The last bit of the sentence is a little muffled due to him running away while stuffing the entire Twizzler (which is the size of a water bottle, by the way) into his mouth.
Offline
"Loot??? What do you mean by loot?!" Silence immediately stands up and chases after Hitan, assuming he has committed a petty crime and stole something from her.
Offline
Hitan can't answer, since he's busy darting away with a water-bottle sized Twizzler in his mouth.
Offline
"Come the hell back here, mister!" Silence yells after him, speeding up her pace.
