Emily walked over to grab the bowls "do you know how to eat with chopsticks? "

Ashley nods silently, taking a bowl and sitting down.

After a moment, she speaks.

"It's been a while since I've eaten with someone. . ."

Emily gave a small smile and tried her best not to giggle "Ashley. . . I haven't put the soup in the bole yet." She walked over to where the girl was and gently took the bowl back over to the pot "well, you can eat with me anytime you'd like. "

Ashley turns bright red and has the unbearable urge to disappear again. She does so and waits quietly.

Emily shook her head and went to go fill up Ashley's bowl before bringing it back to the chair she was in "her you are, it's pho.. I'm not sure if you like it but I'm quite fond of it. "

Ashley slowly reappears, and looks at her chopsticks.

She places them expertly between her fingers and starts eating.

"I also have spoons so you can drink the broth I don't want there to be a mess. "

Ashley glances over.

"I'm not messy. . ." she murmurs.

She finishes her noodles and then carefully picks up the bowl, drinking the broth.

"The traditional way to eat it is with chopsticks and an spoon, and I don't care if you're messy or not… "

Ashley shrugs, already done.

"Sorry. . . but I'm already done," she replies.

She stands up and stretches, looking at her hands.

"I'm going to go now. I might see you tommorrow. It depends on how I feel about human interaction. . ." she says, disappearing.

Emily turned around and laughed

"Oh so eat my food and leave- oh your already gone okay. "

(The moral of this story? Socially inept ghosts are hilariously good at disappearing when they don't want to talk anymore XD )

It's another few days before Ashley shows up again.

"I- I was thinking. . ." she starts.

(Of course)

Emily was cooking and when Ashley popped up outta nowhere she nearly had a heart attack "ah! Jesus Christ I said stop doing that! "

Ashley yelps, then sighs.

"And could you stop yelling when you get startled? It's a bit distracting and just a tiny bit scary. Just a tiny bit."

"I tell when I'm surprised okay there's nothing wrong with that, just- what were you saying?"

"I forgot. . ." Ashley says, embarrassed.

"h-how."

"Y- you screamed. That tends to make me forget everything and want to hide."

"well think about what you were going to say."

"I'm trying. . ." Ashley whispers.

"well I'm going to continue to cook let me know if you remember."

Ashley nods and sits down against a wall, semi-close to Emily.

Eventually, she just starts watching the still living girl.

Emily shook her head and laughed a little to herself as she cut vegetables when she could feel the girl starting at her she smiled and turned to her "did you need something?"

Ashley yelps and falls through the floor. Literally.

"I- um- no-?"

Emily laughs and puts her hands of her hips "now come back here, I'm not going to hurt you."

Ashley pokes her head back up a bit, her face bright red.

"I- I think I know that-" she murmurs.

"would you like to talk?"

Ashley looks distinctly embarrassed.

"I- if it's not too much trouble. . ."
