The men were completely silent. Lion broke the silence of with "So...you cant speak?" I dragged myself out of laying position to sitting position. I shook my head in a yes. it was Quiet for some time. "Uh, did you know .... my name was lionel??" Lionel said. I stared at him for a blank minuete. This whole time I called him LION, His name is LIONEL. I looked down embarrassed. I shook my head in a slow yes. Sucas was pretty quiet. "Hey sucas- UGH I keep forgetting I cant speak." I said to myself in disappointment. "Why wouldn't she know your name? you introduced yourself at the start." Sucas finally speaked. "I just tried to cut off the silence." Lionel answered while rolling his eyes through that guard helmet. I looked down beside my bed. There was.. that weird sword who could talk. "Hey that's the weird sword who could talk!" I said to myself. "Excuse me, Why am I weird to you?" I heard the calming voice inside of my head say. "Wait, wait, wait...YOU HEARD ME" I looked down at the sword. "Of course I did, dear. please don't call me weird." The sword answered. "Did you hear everything that I said?!" I asked a bit awkward. "No, dear. i only heard when you saw me and said: "Hey it's that weird sword who could talk!" I was not made to disturb privacy. only when you look at me, say what you call me and are talking to me, is when I can hear you." the sword answered. "What a relief." I said happy. "Excuse me, your still talking to me. do you not trust me?". the sword said in a silent way. "....I'm so sorry..uh.. I didn't mean it like that" I said awkwardly. "How dumb am I?- Wait are you still hearing me?!" the sword sighed. if you didn't say are 'You' I probably wouldn't have heard." I looked away from the sword. "Well that was awkward." I stopped for some seconds to see if anyone answered. "few" I sighed. I then noticed the two guys sucas and lionel were fighting. "Why are you Always like this Sucas!" Lionel asked Sucas angrily. "I Only said I liked the silence better!" Sucas answered in defense. "are they seriously acting like children?" I sighed. both looked at me. "Please don't tell me they had the power of that sword, to read my mind and speak in it." I said paranoid. "Really?" my sword mumbled a bit annoyed. "umm..." I said awkward. they looked at each other. "Miss... We are so sorry for how we're behaving" Lionel apologized. "More like Lionels behaviour..." mumbled Sucas. I giggled, "it was funny seeing two men fight like children. no wonder that lady was strict with them. Oh right! I should call that lady.. Magreta.. I think it was. ya". Lionel stared at Sucas. "What, it's TRUE.." sucas answered Lionels staring. Lionel sighed, "if your gonna act like a child, your gonna act like that alone." Lionel said to him in disappointment. "Oh really? 'I' am the child? what about you! Remember when you smacked a criminal with a BOOK, instead of your GOLDEN SWORD. I was the one who saved you!" I started laughing. "WOULD YOU SHUT UP?! I SAID-" the lady came in and smacked Sucas And lionel. "Yay! Magreta is the hero!" I said to myself still laughing. But then she came to me, and smacked me aswell. "Ow!" I said with no sound, but with an expression. "I said you had to lay down." she said concerned. "You have to listen next time, I only slapped you so when it's an actual dangerous health situation where I tell you to do something. you do it." the woman said a bit stressed but commanding. I shook my head in agreement. "I'm sorry alright? just listen next time." she apologized. She gave me the warm soup.
It smelled horrible and looked horrible! what were the chances of it tasting good?! The old lady smirked. I fakely smiled. I took a sip.
. . .
It was HORRIBLE! It tasted so bad I had maybe lost a few Taste cells. I started tearing up. "EW EW EW EW EW!!" I screamed while drying my tongue.
. . .
"Hey... I can speak again!" I said happy even though I was still in tears because of the horrid taste. Magreta gave me something. the taste went off and I sighed in relief. "Ahhh" I said in a better mood. "Thank you so much? Magreta" I said unsure if I should even say thanks after what she gave me. "If something is gross for the tongue, the brain will send signals to your "sound maker" making you say a sound. I say the more grosser the more better for the voice." the lady smirked again. "You kinda broke my voice up with the taste though" I said kinda disagreeing with what she had done. "But at least your talking!" the woman answered in defence. "Mhm, ok" I awkwardly said. "Now that you can speak woma-" Magreta slapped Lionel before he could finish. "What can't you understand?! the poor lady has a sore throat and your already gonna question her? Let her rest and move around town a bit with me by her side, BEFORE questioning." the woman said strict. "Ugh but magreta-" Sucas tried. "No buts you small kiddos! Don't ya trust your old woman Magreta if this poor soul tries something?!" magreta said being offended. "to be honest with you Sucas, Lady Magreta is pretty scary to mess with" Lionel laughed a bit. "But she's OLD and can't fight with a dang sword!" Sucas said in a Rude manner. Lionel and I just gasped at the disrespect. He could have said it in a more respectable way. But no, he chose death. Magreta got her staff up in the air. But sucas cut her staff with his .. blue sword? Magreta just looked at Sucas in the most disappointed way possible. To be honest I was also pretty offended. "You called a woman old and told her she cant fight with a sword." I said inside of my thoughts to Sucas.
