Tablet XVII

[Very much an accidental post, as it seems Enkidu has stepped on his Communicator. After a small curse in Sumerian (hard sharp corners on bare feet do hurt.) He picks it up; there's a quick view of dark hair, tan skin and grey eyes before the communicator is shut off.]

Did it shock you?

[of_wild_clay]

No, it uh...I step on it. The corner hurt my feet.

[beatsupboys]

Oh, ow! Are you okay?

[of_wild_clay]

Yes! It was better then shock. [He sounds a little sheepish.] I not see where I walk.

[beatsupboys]

You gotta be careful!

[of_wild_clay]

I will try. But ah...the cloths for feet are not very comfortable.

[beatsupboys]

Socks?

[of_wild_clay]

Ah no. The harder cloths...[pauses then quick change to Japanese.] [Shoes!] But I forget word in this language and it does not exist in my own.

[beatsupboys]

Shoes?

[she doesn't speak Japanese; she's just guessing]

[of_wild_clay]

Ah...yes, that is the word. Shoes.

They are too uh..very hard to move feet with.

[beatsupboys]

Really? Why?

[of_wild_clay]

I have not worn shoes until now. Only for snow.

[beatsupboys]

Maybe you just have to get used to it.

[of_wild_clay]

I have try but it makes feet feel very heavy. I may wear more if this cold does not go.

[beatsupboys]

Hmmm.

Maybe you need lighter ones!

[of_wild_clay]

Lighter? What is 'lighter'?
