[The silence was getting to be a bit too much for him, and he was glad to see that at least Kaede was feeling that too. It didn't make him look too weak for being so affected by it.

But it also doesn't stop him from being loud and annoying to try to fill the empty silence. It started with just harmless chatting as they walked, but by the time they set up camp he's pulled out some cheap toy he probably bought at Fantasy Costco and is enjoying the clapping sound it makes.]

Hey, hey, can the rations they give us be cooked on a fire? Or are they just cold rations we have to eat as is? Does Fantasy Costco have food? I want to get stuff to make over a fire next time. We could get a pot and bring some rice. I packed some of the magic cookies though, I'll share if you guys want! They're still warm, obviously.

[Setting his toy down, he moves to unpack those cookies. Because now they sound delicious and he did just offer to share.]

Have you guys ever gone camping before? Well obviously Akamatsu-chan probably has by now, so I guess she doesn't have to answer. No wait, do we have to catch food to eat if we eat all our rations out here? And all of the cookies?
