"Mep."

"It's 'me', not 'mep'." Break patiently told the younger Skeleton, as he struggled his way through teaching them how to speak. "Now, how about we try 'you'? Say 'you'..."

"Yo!"

"Stars above, helping Horror with his speech therapy was easier than this.. Okay, let's try something different, say 'Dude'."

"Bruh?"

".... How the fuck did you did get corrupted without meeting him?!"

"Fuck!"

".... Stone's going to kill me for teaching you how to swear..."

"So, how did teaching the Little Petal to speak go today?" Stone asked, while he and Break were tag teaming to cook an eatable dinner for three.

"Little Petal?" Break raised an eye ridge at Stone, as he chopped some bacon for the pasta that they were trying to make.

"It just feels right to call them that." Stone smiled. "I don't know why, but it suits them..."

"Well... helping Horror with his speech therapy was easier than teaching an Skeleton, that is technically a new born, how to talk..." Break sighed.

"It wasn't that bad, right?"

"Stone, Horror had prior experience in talking, he just had to be reminded of how to do things that he had learned when he was a kid... Solace is a toddler when it comes to talking... And they're already doing what toddlers do best when it comes to talking...."

"Break! You didn't!"

"I didn't mean to teach them that! Somehow, they were already corrupted by Epic and Cross, before they even met them! Wait... Stone... What are you doing?! No, please, anything but that!"

"You taught Solace how to swear, you deserve this."

"But I don't like having coriander in my pasta sauce!"
