Speaking in Tongues [11.4]

Karal was distracted, but he'd found a whiteboard from somewhere and wheeled it into the library. "I thought we could try our hand at the jumbles that have been in the paper recently. I've done one in Karsite that I thought you could all try and guess. And then someone else could come up and do another one, in whatever language they like."

On the board was--

//MDOFNA//

--and the clue was:

The weirdest island in the world

.

Okay, it was stupidly easy, but he was very distracted. "When everyone who wants to has had a turn, I thought we could simply make new words by choosing one letter from each of our jumbled words."

All Jumbley

Probably not all jumbley, or it will be hard to understand.

Guess Karal's jumble, then come up to the whiteboard and make your own.

Once they're here.

Can he shelve it? Yes he can!

The word jumbley is fun to say out loud. Try it! Jumbley, jumbley, jumbley.

Karal was here, and his thought were all jumbley.

...it vaguely makes me want to bounce.

Evey could tell, and it didn't take someone with her insight to do so. "You okay?"

It startled him and his head shot up. "What? Oh. I--" Karal looked at her for a long moment, uncertain what he should do, then glanced around. "I need to talk to you, but privately. Come into the stacks for a moment?" he asked as he stood up.

"All right," Evey agreed, her brow creasing in slight worry. She glanced around as she started toward the stacks.

Karal followed, stopping when he was satisfied that no one would overhear. "I have to tell you something, and I don't know if you'll believe me," he said earnestly. "But it is true, I swear it."

She nodded, her eyes on his. "I trust you," she said simply. "What's wrong?"

"Glory, I don't know where to start." He closed his eyes, organising his thoughts, then opened them again. "Altra returned last night with news. The good is that the mages of the Alliance believe they have found a way to counter the mage storms, the bad that the breakwater will only hold for another three weeks and," he looked down at his hands, "and I will have to return soon."

His heart ached saying it and he couldn't look at her. "But that is not what I'm afraid you won't believe. I--" Karal hesitated, then finished in tones of quiet awe, "I had a vision. Here, today, in the library. Sent by Vkandis."

Meager Moon Out

Romeo didn't have a good jumble in mind, but he was around and looking for Adah. He'd forgotten to ask for her notebook the week before.

Evey felt something tug in her chest, but she pushed past it. "What was your vision about?"
