*He's about to nod to the first question but stops when Tim adds the bit about his experience. Could he talk? He hadn't tried because he had no reason to. He didn't talk anymore, it was never really needed.
But now he's curious. Just because he'd never use the ability he'd like to know if he has it or not.*

Yes.

*Okay, good. Now that that was out of the way he could go back to never speaking again. Surely Tim wouldn't have a problem with that.

He doesn't seem very interested in the tablet; he has his own and has already been through it a number of times. He's well aware of the text function, thx.
The pills, though, are a different story. He's very very tempted to make a grab for them. But he doesn't, at least not yet. Now that he knew Tim had some he could take them later if he needed to.*
