a little young for that

There is a red-eyed teenage boy - or so it would seem - positively interrogating the bar.

"Redreed wine?"

Aren't you a little young for that?

"I don't actually want any right now, but you know what it is?"

Of course.

"That... is interesting." He taps his fingers on the bar. "All right - I do, actually, want a chocolate iced planet."

And he gets a little square pastry, frosting on the top, and turns on his barstool to watch the comings and goings.

"Not as far as I know. The planet, yes, but not the world as a whole. How did yours get one?"

"Does being 'basically' a language imply that there is some way in which it isn't?"
jellyinthemix: (⑦ a moment's thought)

"That sounds... useful," he says thoughtfully.

"Hmm. I wonder if one of our more well-travelled species of demon might have done something similar," he says.

"I wouldn't expect you to. I can look up the likely sources myself if I become sufficiently curious."

"Yes. Do other magical translators usually fail on that language?"

Giles shrugs. "Milliways."

He grins. "I am unjustifiably proud."

A tall human approaches the bar.

He stops.

He peeeeeeeeers at Kaylo.

nonbird: (c. excusez-moi?)

[personal profile] nonbird 2014-01-13 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)

nonbird: (9. that's how it is)

"I can't cast spells anywhere," he says. "My world's magic doesn't come in 'spell'. It comes in unique individual packages, and mine is seeing other magic. Is there a whole species of yous? With the shapes and the language and the assorted other things I'm not sure I understand yet?"
