“Pretty good.” She replied, stretching. She curled up, still looking at Jack. “You hungry now?”

'A little.'

“Do you wanna raid my kitchen? You can have whatever you want. I’ll even do the dishes.”

'Let's eat together!'

“Deal!” Eden laughed, sliding off the couch and heading toward the kitchen.

He follows quietly.

Eden opened her refrigerator, scanning the contents. “I have left over pizza from last night. Do you like pizza?” She said, her face still in the fridge.

he types and shows her. 'sounds good.'

“Cool,” Eden replied, pulling out the slices. “How many do you want?”

He held up two fingers.

“Me too.” She pulled out four slices. “Cold or warm?”

He types warm.

“Alrighty, then.” She wanted hers cold because she was a college student at heart. She popped the other two slices in the microwave for a few minutes, before pulling them back out once finished. She handed him the plate, walking back over to the couch with her own.

He followed quietly.

“Do you wanna watch it again, or do you want to do something else?” She asked, before taking a bite of her cold pizza.

'I don't care' he typed.

“Why don’t you tell me a little more about yourself.” Eden suggested. She felt that she was a fairly open person, so she was confident that she wouldn’t have to be prompted later on. She got the feeling that she had to be straight forward with Jack in her requests. Not implicit about it.

'What do you want to know?'

Eden shrugged, “I dunno. Stuff. Anything, really. Fond memories, funny stories, anything. I want to know you.”

'Well first off is that I'm mute.' He states. 'The reason for it is something I keep quiet.'

“You don’t have to tell me anything you don’t want to. I want you to feel comfortable with me, and if that means that you and I don’t know everything about each other, then that’s the way it is.” She said, taking another bite of pizza, hoping she was saying the right things. She didn’t look at him because she really didn’t want to find out.

He sighs. 'I can speak…I just…Have a hard time so typing is what I do.'

Eden nodded. “I want to say I understand, but I guess I really don’t. So what I mean is that I want to understand.” She shrugged again. “I don’t know. Maybe I don’t know what I’m talking about.” She says. God, I should stop. I don’t know what I’m talking about. I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t know if I can help. Maybe I never will. she thought to herself, watching Jack’s hands for his response.
