@GlassOfLies13 “Now you make me feel like I may have overreacted a bit. It’s just I’ve only ever heard the name in old movies. In fact, I think it’s a rather cute pet name—like something you name a dog.”

“I’m starting to get the feeling the only reason you’re busy is because you choose to be.”
“It sounds like you’ve been through a lot… I can’t imagine losing my voice.”
She gives a gentle smile, nodding.
“In any case, I think it’s amazing you have another way of communicating despite it all. You seem like a very kind person, so it would be a shame if lost the ability to speak entirely.
“I can tell you’re someone who likes socializing quite a bit!”

“We can start with simple things, like flowers. Once you make one you’ll be surprised at simple it actually can be.”
