Silence grinned wide and said, "Hell yeah it is!"

Silence didn't notice the bug, so it got a good taste of the liquid. It tasted like a mix between rotting food, dirt, blood, and just bitterness in general. The liquid also is a bit spicy. Silence pulled away, startled.

"Uh...! Don't eat me!" Silence took a moment to realize their own meltiness.

"Oh no! Seis, toss me, like, a few rocks or something! Those doritos weren't enough!"

Seis looked up and seemed a bit surprised. She did as told, gently throwing a few rocks at Silence. Instead of catching them, Silence let the rocks hit them. The rocks seemed to stick to their skin, and then slowly sink in. As the rocks sunk and dissolved, Silence's form became more solid, and slowly they were getting less and less melted. Their facial features started to correct a bit, although not fully.

Seis tilted her head and said, "You, uhm, you... s-should just eat, just eat,... the leaves off the ground."

Silence made a face in response, as if they didn't just eat some rocks.

Silence tilted their head back, smiling innocently.

"Hm? What's wrong?" they asked, despite that they wouldn't be able to understand of the crawlid's noises.

Seis gently threw more rocks at Silence, more-or-less just wanting to watch the rocks sink into Silence's flesh.

The crawlid makes a few more chittering noises, really quite curious about whadda hell Silence is made of. It knows that it isn't that weird black stuff back in Hallownest, but it's still strange and offputting.

"I'm talking about the bug, not Silence." he told Seis.  But after that he shot a happy gaze at Silence.  "Could you eat metal and condense it enough to possibly make new parts for my Limiter?  

Silence would have answered Crimson if it wasn't for the bug talking.

"WHOAAAA!!"

Silence is amazed.


Seis takes this situation much more in stride, explaining, "...Milk... it's... uhm... liquid frommmm a c-cow? I... t-think... uhm, think babies... drink it...?"
