What would...be a good name for a pet? A pet squid, I mean!! I still don't know what to call it? I feel bad just calling it squid. Please give me some names to choose from! Thank you!! (人´口`)!!

But also would anyone like to hear a joke?

[ Shigeru, no. He is totally preparing for his joke contest against a certain clown. So he needs the practice. But he's also really bored at the clinic right now? ]

Please tell me some jokes too!! I'd like to hear ones other people have, especially their favorites!

[ Shigeru do you really want to go down this road?! ]

No one's got any business having a shitty attitude like that. What, they think because someone can't speak means their words don't matter? Regardless of that, you've got a voice, spoken or not, so you're allowed to have an opinion and be treated like any other person.

[ Standing on his teaching podium for the moment, so he probably sounds pretty heated, but there is nothing Rosho hates more than others being disregarded in any manner. Nothing should stop anyone from having their personal voice heard. Mute? You can still express yourself, just the way Shigeru does, with confidence and honesty. ]

But I'm fully aware that when you wanna say something you'll keep yourself from saying it, to the point that you're just hurting yourself. So I'm keeping my eye on you. If I got a feeling you're not taking care of yourself during Iris, expect a visit, ya see?

Yes that's...exactly it. You don't really have a 'spoken' voice if it's on a piece of paper, right? And most of the time people would just rip it up or hide my pad and things like that. I guess I just...got used to not talking after awhile. [ Shigeru that's not okay at all?! But the way he talks about it makes it seem like he was used to it, or at least grew accustomed to it happening. ]

That...that's not true all the time. I speak up when I...want to. [ But he does have a point and Shigeru doesn't tell people much when he's in trouble or hurting. In fact he actively turns people away when he does get like that. But that's just how he is. ]

But. You don't have to do that, Rosho! I mean...only if you want, okay? I don't want you to over extert yourself either! But I definitely want to set up something for you and Sasara to come visit, so whenever you're both free...just let me know! [ Now he's all flustered on his end. He doesn't want to bother the other with his issues, especially if he comes over again!! ]

I'll be okay! I've been here for awhile, so I'm used to it. I...usually manage, somehow. [ And he's only crystallized once so...progress?? ]
