PersonS {A Rejected Title and a False Explanation}

>Mute, by choice, or just quiet?
>Just be you. Make your first impression be the truth.

"He's just quiet, or he's mute by choice?" you ask; Sam actually shakes his head and then nods while you're speaking.
"The second one," says Topaz. "I'm surprised, most people don't get what I mean by that on the first try."
"Yeah, we've known him two years and never heard his voice," says Pitch.
"I heard him laugh once." Sam looks toward her and shakes his head. "Well, I guess it was more of a snort."
"So, you've known each other that long?" you ask, to give them something to say while you're busy eating.

Sam nods again, and then briefly pantomimes singing.
"Pitch and I met in choir," says Topaz at the same time, not currently looking at him. "Sam heard us talking about trying to start a band and offered to play the drums."
"We don't. Have a name," adds Pitch before you can ask. "There's a list. One of us hates every name the other two like."
