Language exists for people to talk
to one another.
Ken laughs. Yohji purrs. Aya growls and
grumps. Omi chirps. In the shop, it's easy. A word or two, here and
there. A quick, gruff threat. They don't have to speak, although Omi
does. He likes to fill up the space. Words are just sounds,
comforting not communicating.
On a mission they don't have to
speak. Words will just get in the way. But Omi still chirps, the
sound harder, faster. Aya's harsh growl is all they need to hear.
Yohji's languid voice fills the communicator like cigarette smoke.
And Ken laughs a dry, humorless laugh.
Speaking is not
communication.
