TAPH

[ ' You should sleep. Do not overwork yourself to exhaustion ' ] [ Taph let out a small huff, but he shuffled over so Builderman would have a bit more room. She didn't need help, but the company was nice. ] [ ' No not really, I would not mind if you stuck around though. Would be nice even ? ' ]

[ ' Yeah, I do know. It is why I think you should rest and take time for yourself ' ] [ Taph stared at Builderman, obvious even with her obscured face. He didn't plan to let that go.. ] [ ' Thank you , It gets too quiet sometimes. ' ]

[ ' Yeah. I get you on that, sometimes the past deserves to stay buried ' ] [ Taph had pushed away the tripmine, shuffling to moreso face Builderman and talk to him. ]

[ Taph dramatically fell over after the punch to the shoulder, acting like a frail Victorian child. ] [ ' Builds has hit me.. jail for the admin, jail for a hundred years ' ] [ and yet you could easily hear her laughter, even if it lacked proper sound, the light gasping that made up his laugh was.. frankly obvious enough. ]

[ Taphs shoulders heaved with her laughter, staying in his fallen over position,, It was comfortable despite the how she never uncrossed his legs. ] [ ' tis not just a scratch ! I am wounded ! Suffering ! Jail must be the only option ! ' ]

[ ' YOU LAUGH AT MY PAIN !! AND THEN EVADE THE AUTHORITIES !!! ' ] [ Taph kicked her leg out at Buildermans outer thigh, restrained in all manners and playful.. not like socks can do much damage. ] [ ' you are evil Builds !! Evil !! ' ]

[ ' It does !! And I am not ! I am frail and weak ! I will need to be hospitalized ! ' ] [ Taph continuined his dramatics, yet stretched out so her legs just barely were in Buildermans personal space. ] [ ' Actually I am kind of hungry . ' ]

[ Taph scrunched her face under the bandana, kicking his feet lightly as Builderman poked them ] [ ' Evil.. ' ] [ She giggled, but sat up a little, relying on his core to keep himself upright ] [ ' Pizza sounds good ! ' ]

[ ' Yes ! Morality after pizza. I think just cheese would be good, maybe pepperoni. ' ] [ Picky thing.. She shifted his legs so Builderman couldnt poke her foot again, narrowing his eyes under the hood playfully. ]

[ ' Why would you eat pizza without the cheese , Builds ? Are you a freak ? ' ] [ Taph knew full well that was not what Builderman meant, but she couldnt pass up that chance. He moved his feet once again, giggling slightly ] [ ' Both sounds good though. ' ]

[ ' Im banned from the kitchen, but what Elliot doesn't know doesnt kill him ! We could so do better. ' ] [ Taph shifted to sit normally again, ready to get up at a moments notice.. admittedly not paying attention to Buildermans little playful scoff ]

[ ' You got it boss ! ' ] [ Oh she was not going to make this easy, already plotting to try and set the kitchen on fire. ] [ ' Lets go then ! ' ] [ Taph scrambled to get up, dusting off his cloak and going to find wherever she threw her shoes.. he really should stop throwing her shoes. ]

[ .. The shoes were on two opposite sides of the room, not unlike her to somehow manage that, but still. ] [ ' thank youuu ' ] [ he signed, giggling as she took his shoes and quickly put them on, wanting to get to the kitchen as soon as possible. ]

[ Taph didnt get a chance to sign before being dragged along, chirping in his mangled tone as she nearly tripped from being dragged. He didnt though, its fine. ]

[ ' No clue at all ! ' ] [ Taph signed as she went to sit on the counter, crossing his legs and quickly getting comfortable ] [ ' flour ? ' ]

[ Taph got off the counter to start looking around for a cookbook, maybe there was one here..? Surely they wouldnt have to try to cook a pizza from scratch without a recipe.] [ Couldn't exactly speak when his hands were busy trying to find, though she frequently looked back over their shoulder at Builderman ]

[ Taph was quick to take Buildermans hands, though he nearly jerked them back before remembering she didn't.. need them to speak as it currently stood ] "Yes right sorry- I'm-" [He let out a shaky laugh, unnerved and maybe a bit fearful ] "This is too much- Nothing else is wrong I just- I can speak! I have a voice again! And I- don't like that !" "Sure it's great that I can speak again but it feels wrong and unnatural!" [ Taph let opt a nigh distressed noise, hanging his head. Too many thoughts were running through her head, and for once he found himself speechless, unsure of just what to say. Yet regardless she still spoke. ] "On the bright side-! Since nobody really knows what I sound like I can play little jokes or pranks right now?" "thats not the right thing to focus on-"

[ Taph leaned into the hug, relaxing near instantly at the gesture and even trilling. She.. found it easy to find comfort in Builderman and another specific admin.. ] "Thats- right" [ He mumbled, taking in what the admin said and processing it much quicker than she would any other day. ] "It might be good to do that actually- ! It's- not like i've gone around to everyone speaking- Only you n Telamon know last i checked-" "Im gonna do that,, yeah.."

[ Taph didn't think to do his usual '1000 questions per minute', content to slump into Telamons embrace like it was something she was used to doing. He took the moment to just breathe, catch what she needed before even attempting to speak. ] [ The demolitionists feathers were fluffed up, and while other times it could be deemed as something fun, as he often would puff up in playful frustration, this was far from the same thing. ] "I am- I am so sorry for giving no warning- " [ she wheezed out, his voice already rough, with only two options as the reason. ]

[ Taph slowly relaxed in Telamons embrace, trilling as she nearly went "boneless" ] "And yet I still apologize for it" [ He hummed out, her voice still foreign on his own tongue. ] "I will though, I- don't want to loose it already... Thank you, Telamon."
