Roman sat in the commons, pencil in hand, working on ideas for the latest script. It was a tideous process and while having another person in the room was good to bounce ideas off of and usually to helped ground him, the sound was starting to grate on his already fraying nerves.

His eye twitched.

'Crrk'
'Cruunch'
'Cruunch'
'Cruuunch'

Twitch.

'Crrrrk'
'Crrk'
'Crakk'
'Crunnch'
'Crunnch'
'Crunnnch'

Twitch.

'Crrrrak'
'Crrrk'
'Crunnnch'
'Crunnch'
'Crun-'

His pencil snapped in his hand.

"Must you chew so obnoxiously?!"

The other person in the room-Virgil, who was laying flat on the couch with a small disposable cup balanced on his chest- jumped before sitting up in confusion.

"Wha? Wha 'er yew talkin' 'bout Princey? 'm jus chewin' ice"

"Yess", hissed the Royal, "but why?"

Virgil raised a finger before swallowing the water his ice cube had melted into.

"It helps calm me down"

Curious,  Roman raised a brow, "how so?"

The dark trait shrugged.
"I dunno it just does"

"Hmm..."

Logan walked in a half hour later.

'Crrk'
'Cruunch'
'Cruunch'
'Cruuunch'

'Crrrrk'
'Crrk'
'Crakk'
'Crunnch'
'Crunnch'
'Crunnnch-'

"You two do know that chewing ice is bad for your teeth right?"

Both Virgil and Roman paused, little disposable cups in hand. They gave each other a look before turning to the Teacher with equal deadpanned expressions and shrugging.

'Crunnch'
