Of course! I'm not going to be doing that again.

...You know that I said the title in Japanese but you understood it?

[epistemological]

[ There's a long pause. He's closing his eyes.]

No, I did not know that.

[ He doesn't sound surprised, though.]

[thebubblyone]

Ah.

Well, that's another string to your bow, I suppose.

[epistemological]

Or another bit of rope for the noose.

[ There's a soft sound; he's rubbing at his face.]

It used to just be for statements.

[ He doesn't know that wasn't the case either. She hadn't actually clarified that part.]

[thebubblyone]

[A little scoff.]

Nooses. Shush your face, you.

[epistemological]

[ His answer is a low grumble. ]

Fine.

[ But-]

...so you speak Japanese?

[thebubblyone]

Oh, yes! Zelda's the linguist, of the two of us, but I've had time to get a few extras under my belt.

I'm not sure it'd even be possible for me at this point, but that's... good to know.

Well, it sounds like it's not even necessary for you, love. Your very own Babel Fish.

[epistemological]

You know, I don't know if other people can similarly understand me.

And there's probably no way to test it here...

[thebubblyone]

Ah.

No, probably not. We're all very conveniently English speakers, aren't we? Bit of finessing on the Admiral's part, I think.

[epistemological]

Unless none of us are speaking English.

Who could tell?
