Uhh... not... terribly? [instruments are hard. she twines their fingers.] I'm not tone deaf or anything but this is harder to pick up than I thought it'd be.
S'okay, you're cute enough to make up for it. [teasing!! she does flush just a little at the compliment.] You know, I lost the ability to for a bit yesterday, but I could suddenly speak Infernal, so I think we're all walking around switching abilities, which is great.
Sure, yeah. Depends on which one you wanna learn from. Uh, I know... [ticks them off on her free hand.] Halfling, Elvish, Deep Speech, Dwarvish, and Undercommon. Couple of Zemnian words too.
Gotcha. [she hums. she'll say it slower - and the auto-translate might pick up her saying Caleb rolls around in the dirt every morning. he does not deserve this.]
[beau finds this utterly adorable. she's trying so hard and beau's full of affection.]
That - that was really good. [she says, trying to not laugh.] I think you might have called Caleb a name in there somewhere but you know, he deserves it.
No, that's uh, that's fair, the sounds are the hard part. [she says, actually laughing now.] Don't worry about it. You don't need to apologize to anybody.
[she flops down to sit on one of the chairs. with an oof, out of habit, because her ribs are still broken as of this thread.]
Guess so. [she pauses, and then:] I was fighting a dragon, and something else. Dragon got me pretty fucking bad, but it was uh, more the other thing that kicked my ass.

Week 5, Wednesday
Goodness, you're at it early.
no subject
Oh - hey. Yeah, just practicing. [... holds out her hand, c'mere.]
no subject
How is that going?
no subject
Uhh... not... terribly? [instruments are hard. she twines their fingers.] I'm not tone deaf or anything but this is harder to pick up than I thought it'd be.
Like, languages? Easy. But this trips me up.
no subject
[ Haaaa. ]
But knowing multiple languages is very impressive, Beau!

no subject
Oh, I'd love to be able to speak another language! Even if that doesn't swap, maybe you could teach me a few words or phrases?
[ She. She's a nerd. An athletic nerd. ]
no subject
Sure, yeah. Depends on which one you wanna learn from. Uh, I know... [ticks them off on her free hand.] Halfling, Elvish, Deep Speech, Dwarvish, and Undercommon. Couple of Zemnian words too.
no subject
I can't say I know anything about any of them... how about your favorite?
no subject
no subject
... A-- a little slower?
[ Beau!! ]
no subject
Gotcha. [she hums. she'll say it slower - and the auto-translate might pick up her saying Caleb rolls around in the dirt every morning. he does not deserve this.]
no subject
Otome gives it her best shot, but she is Japanese and anything German-sounding is going to sound hilariously bad.
She probably just called Caleb a bad word, with her luck. ]
no subject
That - that was really good. [she says, trying to not laugh.] I think you might have called Caleb a name in there somewhere but you know, he deserves it.
no subject
[ Otome, on the other hand, looks mortified. Caleb! Caleb she didn't mean it!! ]
It's the-- the throat thing, I can't quite get it to make that sound, but-- maybe I should have asked you to teach me "I'm sorry" first...
no subject
No, that's uh, that's fair, the sounds are the hard part. [she says, actually laughing now.] Don't worry about it. You don't need to apologize to anybody.
[she flops down to sit on one of the chairs. with an oof, out of habit, because her ribs are still broken as of this thread.]
no subject
Be careful, okay? You're still recovering.
no subject
[that's not reassuring, beau]
Are you? Still recovering. Did anybody ever get around to healing your ribs?
no subject
For now, she sits carefully in another chair. ]
... Also should I have asked what you went through right before you came here to have problematic injuries in the first place...?
no subject
Uhhh... you can? If you want? It's kind of a bummer.
no subject

Guess so. [she pauses, and then:] I was fighting a dragon, and something else. Dragon got me pretty fucking bad, but it was uh, more the other thing that kicked my ass.
no subject
no subject
Uh - well. Lucien is.
no subject
I-- I really only heard him [ monologue dramatically ] once but... you know, I would believe that.
