'"Right, so when you're conducting high level diplomacy, you will be assigned either a protocol droid--if such things exist in your galaxy--or a translator," Anakin began, "so you're not required to speak all of the languages in the known universe. However, I find it helpful to at least know some of the basic, especially if the negotiations are especially crucial."

He waved his hand at the board, where he'd listed a few phrases he found useful. "Here are some of mine: hello, goodbye, thank you, please, bathroom, idiot, kill them and make it look like an accient."

He then turned his attention to the class. "What would you add to the list?"

Lana snorted. "Point. I think the nearest to 'thank you' is probably just 'glad you didn't make me madder' or something."

"Yeah," Vette replied, her voice going a little tight even while she kept a fairly casual expression. "It's something like that."

Lana searched for anything else to change the subject. "Oh, remind me later on - we had pirates in that 'New You' class. Sort of. I took video of them; I thought you'd laugh yourself silly."

Vette's brows raised a little, but she was happy to latch on to the distraction.

"Pirates, huh? I'll have to do that, then." A pause. "Thanks."

"You're welcome," Lana said. "They were certainly...something."
