10th Wave

The cacophony of noise here is growing worse. Stow your bleating, lambs, or I'll cast yeh overboard to fill your jabbering mouths with seawater.

[Never mind that they're not even sailing over water at the moment. Jones can understand English, but is speaking in Scots Gaelic]

[Private to Sylvanas]

If yeh would oblige me a moment, m'lady..? I've something you might like to see.

[Private to Bush]

Yeh've been quiet, Warden. Plotting something?

I only speak English, Jones. I haven't got any Scottish.

I wonder, can you understand me.

I wonder, can you understand this. [With some labor and a great deal of care, he plays back the message he has been listening to without turning off his connection to Jones.

A familiar, rumbling voice comes out, in an incomprehensible mash-- incomprehensible to Bush-- of Spanish, English, and Chinese. Riddick's cold sarcasm carries through, however.]

I can't. But an hour ago, this was clear English telling me that you had quarreled with Arthas and killed him.

Edited 2013-12-08 03:55 (UTC)

[Silence, for a second.

And then, mercifully, English;]

It - whoever it was - spoke the truth. I did kill the loathsome bastard.

Mister Riddick is something of a friend of Arthas', I think. He was mightily displeased.

But tell me if it was a duel or a murder.

Let him be. If he were a better friend, he'd have taught the man how not to offend those with the capacity to come after him.

What diff'rence does it make? He's dead, and he's come back.

It makes every bit of difference whether you came at the man without warning, or whether he was willing to fight with you-!

[She looks confused. Because she is.]

What?

[Of course, she sounds like she's speaking a nordic language suddenly, rather than English.]

...What?

[She shakes her head.]

I don't understand that language, Captain. Speak plainly.

What?

[He tries switching to English, hoping that'll make it better]

And now?

[Another shake of the head.]

I can't understand you.

Whatever that was it didn't sound pleasant.

[ At least tones are universal to any language, and intent. Not that she currently knows that she's not speaking English. Currently? French ]

[Jones, in his time, collected French sailors just as much as English, Spanish, or Dutch. But he can't say he speaks the tongue fluently, or indeed, not at all. He answers in gruff English]

I cannae understand a word you're speaking, woman.

[ Well, that she can understand, as gruff as it is ]

And yet I still have a grasp of English. [ Sorry, Jones, it's still French ] Is there anything at all?

Woman, I do not speak French. Tell me what yeh want.

It would seem that I can't.

[ It's said with a small shake of her head. Sigh ]

You're upset.

Ég er að fara að blikka frysta fingurna og setja þá inn í augun.

Someone's feeling miffed. Enjoying the toll, Arthas?

Það er langt síðan yfir. Hann hefir launað mér að fullum styrk minn. Fyrir þig?

I didn't request it, if that's what you're asking. I can fight my own battles.

Ég veit. Gerir hann það?
