*Traveler mumbled something under her breath, while Paimon exhaled...*

Paimon: We can still speak just fine, thank you very much! *She said indignantly.*

Ato: Pfft...

*Scaramouche chuckled once more, and Paimon frowned even more.*

Paimon: Hey, what are you "pfft"ing about? *She said in an offended tone.*

Ato: Nothing. I just thought you'd be in this paralyzed position forever.

*Traveler let out a frustrated sigh at his words, while Paimon huffed...*

Traveler: We were not paralyzed! Stop acting like we're incapable of speech!

Ato: But it seemed so.

*Paimon clenched her little hands into fists and spoke indignantly...*

Paimon: Hmph! Who are you calling paralyzed? We're not... paralyzed! We were just... shocked!

Ato: Oh, yes... Shocked to the point of petrification...

*Paimon was really getting irritated now...*

Paimon: Oh for the love of...! Would you stop with the "petrification" already?! We're not some ancient creatures turned to rock!

Ato: It actually looked like this.

*Traveler exhaled, she was also starting to get a little irritated...*

Traveler: How many times do we have to say it? We were not paralyzed! We were just shocked, okay?!

Ato: So shocked that you forgot to speak. Sure...

*Paimon frowned and folded her arms in front of her...*

Paimon: We... didn't forget to speak, okay?! We were just... a bit stunned! So would you please stop talking... about... "petrification" and "forget about speaking"?! You’re giving us a headache!

Ato: I didn't know statues had headaches.

*Traveler let out another frustrated sigh... While Paimon gave an offended exclamation...*

Paimon: Will you stop calling us statues?! *There was irritation in her voice. Traveler sighed again, trying to stay calm...*

Ato: He-he. You get annoyed too easily. Do you know that?

*Paimon was getting more and more aggravated as she listened...*

Paimon: We are not annoyed! We are... just... it's just that you're acting like we have no ability to speak or communicate! That's why we're "petrified" and "paralyzed" and that's why we're "statues" !

*Paimon said this loudly and furiously. Traveler tried to calm down...*

Ato: Pffft... Yeah, sure.

*Paimon was still furiously upset...*

Paimon: See! Now you’re making fun of us! Would you just... stop it already?!

*She exclaimed. Traveler exhaled and spoke carefully...*

Traveler: Paimon... calm down, okay?

*Traveler's words seemed to calm down Paimon a little, and she exhaled...*

Paimon: *She mumbled, trying to calm down...* Okay... okay... I'm... I'm fine... Just... can he... just...*please*... stop making fun of us...?

*Scaramouche sat there with an amused smirk on his face...*

*Scaramouche chuckled again and then spoke in a sarcastic tone to Ato...*

Scaramouche: Oh my... looks like you broke them completely.

*Paimon once again began to fume and exclaimed indignantly..*.

Paimon: Hey, what do you mean "broke"?! We're not... broken!

*Scaramouche chuckled again at her words...*

Scaramouche: Yeah, sure, you're not broken... just stunned into silence and frozen in a state of "petrification" , right?

*Paimon frowned, feeling extremely annoyed... and Traveler tried to remain calm...*

Paimon: Will you just stop saying that! We are not "petrified" and "frozen in silence"! We were just... surprised, alright?

Ato: Pfft... So much so that you lost the ability to speak and move... like really statues...

*Both Paimon and Traveler grew more irritated at his further comments...*

Paimon: Would you stop comparing us to statues already?! *She exclaimed.* We are not statues! We can speak and move! We just... we were just stunned, okay?!

Ato: Yeah, yeah, sure.

*Paimon was starting to get really angry...*

Paimon: Are you mocking us?! You just... just... shut up already!

Ato: Should I? I have to admit, it's fun. Anger the talking statues.

*Paimon's face turned red with anger... She was clenching her little hands into fists...*

Paimon: *She exclaimed loudly and furiously.* Stop calling us "talking statues"! This is not funny! Why are you acting so... so... so... so... annoying?

Ato: Hehehe. It's really funny.

*Paimon was on the verge of spitting fire...*

Paimon: You're not going to stop, are you? *She said through clenched teeth. Traveler looked alarmed... and spoke.*

Traveler: Paimon, calm down, okay? You'll just make it worse.

*Traveler's words, even though they were true, only added fuel to the fire for Paimon, making her even more annoyed...*

Paimon: Why should I calm down?! He's just... acting so... so...! *Paimon couldn't find the right words to describe her emotions right now.*
