Tang always told not to ramble or be too loud. 

Most of the time, he didn't even notice the sudden rise in his voice. He just wanted to share everything crowding his brain, was that so bad? 

Was he really that annoying?

Tang liked listening to people ramble, even if sometimes he understood basically nothing.

Tang happily told him, taking as long as he needed to simply talk.
