46th Frontier - [open commentlog]

[ecopiracy]

[To Phoenix, it only feels like a few days have passed at most since the last time he was here. That passage of time is fuzzy, though, so he's not certain. Did he even go home at all? Or has he just been here and... sick, or something?

Not exactly certain what to do with himself, he decides to go exploring. Maybe he'll be able to jog his memory.]

[Jael's on deck four, trying to find some place to get food. She's been wandering around trying to find food for a while now and is pretty hungry at this point.

And then she spots someone else coming towards. Her first instinct is to hide, but then she notices he has long ears like her own. Excite, she runs forward, talking quickly in a language that is definitely not the common language on this ship.]

Mister! Mister!

[Phoenix turns, but it's with a completely bewildered expression. He didn't understand any of that.]

Uh... What did you just say?

[commentlog]

[mutedevents]

[The disappointment on her face is very obvious. He has long ears! He must be a Kóri! So why doesn't he speak their language?]

Oh...you don't understand me either. Why don't you speak this language? You're a Kóri like me, aren't you?

[Strange look.] You aren't making any sense.

[Well, that wasn't working. Time to go back to gestures. She points at herself, pronouncing her name clearly.]

Jael.

[She looks up at Phoenix with an expectant look on her face.]

[ecopiracy]

[The meaning of that look is simple enough to decipher. Phoenix nods with understanding, then points to himself.]

Phoenix.

[A pause, then he holds out his hand with a smile.]

It's a pleasure to meet you.

[Jael smiles widely and reaches out to shake Phoenix's hand.

She looks around for a moment, before placing a hand on her stomach and shrugging her shoulder in an exaggerated manner. Know where any food is, Phoenix?]

[Another easy one. Phoenix grins, then waves for her to follow him.]

Hungry? Come on, I'll take you to the buffet.

[He's been here for something over a week, give or take. Even if part of that was spent in bed recovering from his injuries, he knows enough to know where the food is served.]

[Oh good, he seems like he knows where he's going. Jael follows close behind Phoenix, looking a lot happier now that she thinks she can get some food.]

[commentlog]

[ecopiracy]

[Sure enough, Phoenix leads her to the area with table after table of different kinds of food. He gestures toward it, the meaning obvious.]

Help yourself.

[Hmm. Actually, he'll take a bowl of that stuff that looks like yakow stew.]

[Jael beams in thanks at Phoenix before grabbing a plate and getting...well, she has no idea, but whatever it is looks good.

Once her plate is filled with different foods, she finds a nearby empty table and sits, slowly eating her food to make sure she doesn't get any on her dress.]
