You're terrible. [But he's still grinning and he's not moving as the credits roll. Instead, he turns to tilt his face up toward Dave.] It was so much reading, Dave. Did you like it?

[He...can tell, but he likes asking.]

[parodeity]

Yeah. [ one of those too-quick smiles. ] But you see why I didn't ask you normal?

[windeity]

[His favorite tbh.] Yes and no, but I also would have probably said yes if you had just asked and whined about it later. [Still mostly teasing.] Remind me never to pick up Polish though.

[parodeity]

Do you know any foreign languages, anyway?

[windeity]

I took Spanish in high school but that doesn't mean too much, I think. Nothing I retained beyond, like, how to say my name and the word cat.

[parodeity]

Oh, that's lame. I was goin' to make you say something to me.

[windeity]

[...hm.]

Do you even understand Spanish at all?

[parodeity]

[ a shrug and a so-so gesture. ]

I'm probably a lil rusty - but I'd say I'm better at Spanish than I am at Russian. Which I'm...still workin' on.

[windeity]

[...there's a considerable pause.]

Bailaré toda la noche contigo.

[Which is probably close enough.]

Also why Russian, exactly?

[parodeity]

Yuri and Anya. [ but there's a startled look as dave stands up, intending to leave the theater. ] ...okay, worth it.

[windeity]

Oh. That answer should have been obvious, maybe. [But there's a dazzling kind of grin.] So maybe I remember a little more than I thought. [To his feet he goes.]

[parodeity]

[ ummm. dave's expression and casual composure doesn't so much as falter though he raises an eyebrow, but his breath catches in his throat, and invisible pause. ] ...I always kinda like hearing people say things in different languages.

[windeity]

Even if you don't always understand it? [He'll take Dave's hand at least to lead him out of the theater.] I do think other languages can be pretty cool though.

[parodeity]

Not knowing what someone is saying is half the fun.

[windeity]

It's kind of why I have thought about studying abroad sometimes. But I think I would probably get lost anyway.

[parodeity]

Hire a navigator?

[windeity]

What do you say, Strider? Up for a little globetrotting with me someday?

[parodeity]

You already know I'd follow you anywhere.

[windeity]

You pick first then. Where do you want to go? Not Poland.

[parodeity]

France. [ instant. ] Or China.

[windeity]

Why those places in particular? [Out of the theater they go.]

[parodeity]

Things I want to see in both. What's your pick?

[windeity]

Hmm...[He swings their hands a little while they walk and he's thinking.] I've always thought Japan would be neat. And maybe Italy. So at least we are thinking the same continents?

[parodeity]

Sure. I'd go to Venice and watch you drop your phone in a canal.

[windeity]

I would not drop my phone in a canal. It would be in my pocket probably, geez.
