Sound chuckled embarrassedly, scratching at the back of his neck. "I didn't mean you needed to change completely, i like you the way you are and this is fine when around ponies you trust... but like i was saying, when your in the wastes and dealing with ponies you have never met before, you have to show a bit of strength in your voice, in a way that tells them that they can't just take advantage of you. That you can and will fight back. Anyways it won't happen all at once and we'll steadily work on it, you just need to know how to demand respect from the other ponies just through tone of voice. Do you understand better?"

It was just then that their food arrived and was placed before them. Sound's eyes widened a bit as he made a show of taking in the smell excitedly. "Oh, wow! It smells so good! and its all fancy and stuff!" Sound immediately grabbed the bowl and started drinking it down only to just as quickly put it back down. "Ow! Shit! burned my mouth. Damn it. Its so good though!" Sound turned his attention on the salad as he wanted the soup to cool off a little and went down on the salad. Eating with a voracious appetite.
