"Please tell me again why we are doing this."
"Tommy! Don't you want to help...what's his name again?"
"Dream said it was something like Ranboob."
"No, it wasn't that it was Ranboo, right?"
"Whatever! Let's just try to find out what language is coming out of his mouth!"
The three boys all sat down in a circle on a soft grassy patch under a willow tree. After a month of staying at Eret's place, they already managed to find a special spot and call it theirs.
"I say we just talk normally to him. Hi Ranboo!" Tubbo waved at Ranboo and smiled.
Ranboo smiled and waved back, even though he was sitting right next to Tubbo. "⟟ ⌰⟟☍⟒ ⊬⍜⎍⍀ ☊⍜⍜⌰ ⎐⟟⋏⟒⌇."
Tubbo frowned. "Gosh what is he saying?"
Tommy sighed loudly and laid down on the ground. "Can we head back now-"
"WAIT." Tubbo covered Tommy's mouth with his hand and thought for a moment. Tommy scrambled up and slapped Tubbo's hand off.
"UGH TUBBO-"
"TOMMY WHY DON'T YOU JUST TALK TO HIM IN YOUR HEAD?!" Tubbo quickly shouted.
Tommy paused. Ranboo kept glancing at both boys back and forth, confused about everything Tubbo and Tommy were doing.
"You know Tubbo, for once, that's actually a good idea." Tommy scooted towards Ranboo and sat in front of him, concentrating on Ranboo's mind, whilst making a weird focused face. Ranboo slowly leaned back, weirded out by the blond boy's face.
"Uh, Tommy-"
"SHHHHHH. I'm focusing." Tommy waved away Tubbo and kept staring at Ranboo.
C'mon C'mon C'mon C'mon C'mon C'mon-
Hello?
Tommy smiled at his success. Why hello Ranboo.
H-Hi?
Good to know you're not speaking whatever rubbish you were speaking out loud in your mind. I can actually communicate with you.
Oh, ok? So uh, who are you?
Tommy. And the weird boy who's waving at you is my best friend Tubbo. Tommy pointed to Tubbo waving.
Ranboo nodded. So why can't you hear me speak?
It's not that we can't hear you speaking, it's just your speaking in some sort of language that we don't understand.
What? But I'm talking in English out loud.
Tommy scrunched up his face. Uh, no. It does not sound like English.
But it does to me?
Well then I don't know! How are we supposed to reteach you English?!
Just...how you would normally? Maybe it will click for me one day.
Tommy sighed in frustration as Tubbo watched the interaction.
Tommy cut the connection off with Ranboo and turned to Tubbo. "This is gonna take a long time."

"I want...flower?"
"No, no, I want A flower."
