Speaking in Tongues [4.4.08]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal greeted everyone as they came in, jumping languages with each person. When they were all settled, he stood up. "I was trying to think of things we could do that would be fund and would test our abilities in the languages we've learned, and I found out about this travelling game. It's usually played in a car, but I thought it might work well for us."

He gave everyone an encouraging smile. "What you do is the first person says that they are going to the fair, and they are taking something beginning with an 'a', and the second person says they are going to the fair, that they are taking the first person's 'a' object, and adds an object starting with 'c', then the third says both they are taking both 'a' and 'b' objects, and adds one beginning with 'c', and so on and so on. By the time we get to the end, there will be a lot of objects to remember - if we use different languages to name them, it should help us practice!"

"No, no, I'm happy to open the library for you! You don't need to think of anything else!" He was a bit afraid of what it might be. "Umm, do you have someone to care for your rabbits while you're gone?"

Adah's grinning gained a bit of volume in a short, snorting breath of a laugh.

"The rabbits are the reason I'll be gone, so no, but thank you for the offer. They're coming with me. And not coming back."

Except perhaps one, but Adah still hadn't made up her mind regarding that.

"Ah." He nodded. "Then I'll open the library on Wednesday and you'll," he smiled hopefully, "forgive me for not collecting Edgar?"

Of course, it was already water under the bridge, swept away in eddies of nonimportance and rivulets of passing memories, but, as far as Adah was concerned, Karal didn't necessarily need to know that.

"As well as one can be, anyway," was her simple reply, with a cool, reluctant sort of glance rimming her wide eyes.

Karal beamed at her, aware he was a little sensitive about this point because of everything which had happened with Danyel. "Excellent. Thank you."

Adah's head ducked with the sort of nod of returning gratitude, knowing full well that she needn't waste any more paper to convey the amicable conclusion of their agreement.

All the remained left for her to do to get her ducks in a row, then, for the trip home was to note to the Eel that he could probably forget about her request to punch Karal if he met him. She didn't intend on telling him she wouldn't be there Wednesday to make up for when he didn't tell her the same about a Sunday, and, besides, she was wondering if he'd show up anyway. He hadn't this week, after all...
