Totoka River tie your tubes, idiot

Holy shit! Holy words from the mouth of an invalid, batman! In all of her life, Piper had never been silenced so quickly as in that moment that the dark boy turned to her and opened his mouth. His voice had never existed to the Redleaf girl before. She had believed that he was simply incapable of producing words and therefore did not have a speaking tone. That was normal, right? Wrong. More of her shock had arrived because she realized that he spoke just like anyone else would be expected to.

“You can talk???” she inquired somewhat daftly. Now you look like the retard, Piper, she chastised herself mentally for the dumb query. Shaking her head, the wildfire of a young girl moved toward him in a few quick steps. Her eyes were glued to his features in an attempt to see if it was some sort of trick that he was playing, but his tone had said enough to clear away any doubts she might have had. “How come you didn't say something sooner? You too good to talk to someone like me?” the girl demanded sharply, narrowing her brows.
