That's right folks, it's now time to see how exactly Ten Years on the the Love BoatGood Ship LollipopGilligan's Island Stacy has gone by for your characters.
"What saying? All play and no work makes you boring?" She responds, knowing that her grammar and pronunciation is still lacking. She switches back to English.
"You know that part of the City on the Western Edge, that looks like The Shire but overgrown? I'm thinking with a little fixing up we could make a nice little park out of it, with some shrines and quiet spaces for the religions that aren't represented on Religion Row. Of course, it'd require a lot of research, but I'm sure I can carve time out of my busy schedule." She gestures in the air at all the nothing she's doing. "How's the family?"
"For all we know, it is part of the Shire. Wouldn't surprise me one bit." He nodded, smiling, "If you need some help with construction, you know you just need to ask. And, they're fine. Kali's got to be one of the best archers on the ship, if not the best by now, and Fon's working on the nest."
"Your kid's got some skill with that bow. Hopefully she never needs to use it." Eva chews on the tip of her tongue. "I'm going to get you to do all the heavy lifting during construction."
Kang laughed, "She's not a kid anymore, even if I wish sometimes that she was. She grew up too fast." Of course, he'd also missed ten years of her life.
"Now you're just taking advantage of our friendship."
"They always do. Did you realize Marco's twenty-six now? I was engaged at his age!" And she still considers herself married, even though Peter still hasn't shown up. "Oh, but Kang, I'm old and frail and those dratted slugs broke my shoulder twice! It still aches when it rains! Not that it rains but I'm sure it would."
"Maybe I'll manage to find some way to make the next clutch age slower," Kang shrugged, and then he grinned. "Or maybe not. Fon would probably kill me."
He snorted, "I'm not much younger than you. But fine, I'll help with the heavy lifting. You're going to have to pay me back a favor, though."
"And how many free drinks have I given you over the years, and still give you?" Kang teased back, quirking an eyebrow ridge. "You can pay me back by helping babysit the new ones every now and then after they hatch. You can probably get Kali to help you, too, so you're not as worn out."
She shakes a finger at him. "You know I quit that. I only complained about it to you every fifteen minutes. And what, you don't think I can keep up with some infants?"
Kang laughed, "The drinks I give you now are non-alcoholic, but they're still free. I have no doubt you can handle human infants, but up to six or seven draconian infants? That's another story."
Kang switched to Spanish, "Because you kept defaulting to this language." He'd gotten much better at his tenses and conjugation, but his pronunciation would always be off. He just couldn't make some of the necessary sounds.
Switching back to Common, he added, "At least I did learn. Can't say the same for others."
"Curses on that mother-tongue of mine." She laughs and grins. Kang might not even know how much it warms her heart that he occasionally indulges her native language.
