Speaking in Tongues [4.4.08]

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!"

And there he was. Mildly amused by the entire thing this afternoon.

You could tell by the small quirk of his eyebrow.

At some point John found his way over to talk to Karal. "I owe you an apology," he said, not at all proud of the way his six-year-old self had acted over the weekend.

Inara was there, too.

Inara grinned and started off in French. "I am going to the fair, and I am taking an ancient tome," then she switched to faltering Karsite, "and a brilliant scientist."

"And I should not have gotten upset and shot you," John added. "Even if it was only water, I should have better control."

"I was six," John replied. "But trust me, even then I could've had better control."

Hoshi went next, in Spanish. "I am going to the fair, and I am taking an ancient time, a brilliant scientist and," she added, switching to Karsite as well, "a candelabra."

"That's a good plan," John said, relieved. "How's Trenor doing after all the kids?"

"Sounds like he's taking care of himself," John said, laughing lightly.

"I did," John said, half-smiling. "His name was Doc."
