Functional French, Tuesday, Period 2

French class met around a large, circular table in the Danger Shop today, which had been programmed to resemble a bustling French bistro. Henry had to shout a little bit to be heard over the background noise.

//Welcome to the Bistrot du Coin//, he said. He'd decided this was the week he'd speak French for the entire class. //This is modeled after a real restaurant in Washington. I hope you're a little hungry even though this is a weird time for a meal, because your assignment this week is to order something off the restaurant's menu. Here's a vocabulary sheet for the day; the ~~moddable~~ waiter will be by in a few minutes. I'm getting the Confit de Canard, for what it's worth.//

//Make polite conversation while you eat, please.//

"I can safely say that I encountered none of them before," Peter said. "But between Jool, Sookie, and Karla I've had plenty of new things to deal with. But you can only break what isn't flexible enough to bend with new situations."

Emma snickered, recalling what Sookie had said about Peter. "Sookie couldn't break a teacup without apologizing a million times, but if you've survived a bout with Karla's magic without your brain leaking out your ears, then you'll live."

"I'm glad to hear you're so flexible."

"It's something I pride myself in," Peter said, more than willing to keep up with this part of the conversation. "But I wouldn't say I completely understand Karla's talents. I do understand that they exist, though."

"Just keep that in mind if she ever starts trying to explain Kaeleer," Emma replied, eyes dancing. "I love my Sister dearly, but she's got a power to induce migraines in the male gender."

WHAT? SHE DID.

Peter nodded at that. "I'll keep it in mind. I tend to try and avoid any and all migraines. I get enough of one from Walter most wees."

"What is his thing with papaya, anyway?" she asked. "Everyone knows that mango is the superior fruit."

"I wish I knew," Peter said. "If I didn't like Sookie, I'd ask her to try and look into that mind of his. But I'm worried it might scar her for life."

"Why? Just because he's a little..." Emma waved one hand expressively. "It might be like a tilt-a-whirl ride, but he doesn't seem that scary."

"You missed the part where he started suggesting we start microwaving rodents instead of papayas so that we'd learn it wasn't just a wavelength that worked on fruit," Peter said, sticking with the example from what happened her on the island. The lab accident, that was still something he was reticent to share.

"Considering the high water content in most fruits, I would think it a safe assumption that anything that worked on the papaya would have similar results in most organisms with a similar tissue ratio," Emma put in dryly. "It's not rocket science."

She gave him a slightly crooked grin. "My best friend outside of Fandom is a bit of a mad scientist. Unless Walter starts vivisecting people, it takes a lot to weird me out."

Peter smiled. That demonstration of her knowledge was actually pretty impressive.

"I don't think we're in danger of that, yet. I hope."
