Re: Holding Pens - Samandriel and Mitchell
Mitchell's eyes lit up, his entire face cracking with a grin. "You can talk!" he exclaimed, and then hurriedly covered his mouth, because they clearly thought he couldn't for a reason. Maybe his paperwork was wrong? Or maybe he just hadn't found anyone worth talking to?
"Ahh...you were pretending?" he stage whispered. "Did they hurt you for speaking?" he asked, concerned and ready to be righteously indignant on the boy's behalf.
