Echo nodded, Flo did not need her permission to become friends with someone. Echo had already been to a handful of group therapy sessions with the other patients, she was used to their presence. They were no longer strangers and even though Echo was still nervous and jumpy, she did not break down around them like she had the first few times. "I-it-it-s f-f-f-i-i-fine," Allison broke out into a smile, her tail swishining to and fro. She was clearly excited to have more friends. "I want to be friends too!" Angel raised her hand, pouting. This feeling in her chest... it was almost familiar. Joking around with others, Echo almost felt as though she had been unable to do so, as though she had lost this ability. Instead, she stared at her balled hands on her lap. How did she joke around with someone?
"Y-y-ye-yes," Echo nodded, looking up once more when Flo said her name. "Alright, let's play!" Allison grabbed the handles to Echo's chair, pushing her to the table, then Flo. She dealt the cards and explained the game to them. "U-um," Echo was growing nervous before the game even began. "I-I d-do-" but it was too late, the game had already begun. She swallowed hard, watching as Angel and Flo fought over the first match. Echo flipped her card slowly, her hands shaking and nearly knocking down her pile. She wanted to cry already, even though the game had just begun and nothing had happened. She released a breath of relief when Allison did not have the matching card. "I'm sure you two will do fine!"
Allison chimed, her tail swishing. The next match was between Angel and Allison, Allison grabbing the stick in the middle first. The next card made the patterns no longer matter, but the colors, Echo flipped her card over slowly, noticing that both she and Flo had yellow cards. Slowly Echo reached forward, grasping the stick. She broke out into a small smile, "I-I wi-wi-win." It was a small victory, but the game wasn't over and the tables could change quickly. "What are you guys doing?" A voice loomed over their shoulder, Echo squeaked and jumped, dropping the stick. Her cheeks turned bright pink as Allison leaped to her feat to retrieve it. Ash was standing over her shoulder, looking at her card.
"We're playing a game, you can play next round if you want?" Ash shook his head, "No, I don't like this one." He stayed despite that, taking a seat next to Angel. Echo swallowed hard once more, feeling nervous now that they had a small audience. Even if it was merely Ash, Echo still did not want to be watched and evaluated. Oliver already judged her enough, she did not need others picking at her weaknesses.
