Silence Is Golden

"T-u-sk. What my mouth. U-sk." The young lady was truly learning, and she was doing so with a determined mind. Romeo admired this.

 

[Slot 21]

Katar studied the way Romeo's lips moved when he spoke. "T....T-Usssk....." Her tongue clicked a little when she pronounced the k. It was so much harder to talk than it was to read or listen. It kind of bugged her that she couldn't do it quite right. But that feeling just made her want to continue trying.

He touched his chest. "Ro-me-o" he laughed a little a the click she made. It was cute.
Then he motioned at the room entirely. "Roo-m." Then he pointed at the bed. "Be-d." How could one understand words, and read, but not speak? [member="Katar"]

 

[Slot 21]

"Ro-me-o........Rooom.......Be-ed......." Katar repeated, following his gestures. With Romeo pointing things out to her, things were becoming a bit easier for her. Her jaw would undoubtedly get sore after a while, but that was a good thing. It meant she was actually using it for something other than eating.

Romeo clapped his hands in appraisal. "Good! You're doing great! Now, say For-ss. Its spelled F-O-R-C-E, but C E sometimes makes the ssss sound." he asked her. He sat back with his hands holding him up. [member="Katar"]

 

[Slot 21]

"F.....FffOohrrrssss....." Katar spoke. Her mouth formed a small "o" as she did so. Shaking her head as if she didn't like her answer, she did it again. "For......orss...........Fo-rce........Force......."

[The Red of Sinner]

Romeo smiled big at her, spoke. "Lets take a break Katar." He sighed when he realized she probably couldnt write either. He closed his eyes, and laid back on the floor, with his feet still under him. He was indeed quite flexible.
"Katar i am twenty-five now...and I have a planet to be responsible for now...that's a stressful job...I forgot the pleasures of teaching others, so they could go out an better themselves. It's just as hard work, but it's totally worth it." [member="Katar"]

 

[Slot 21]

Katar nodded, and laid down, too. She felt a little embarrassed that she couldn't do this kind of thing on her own. She was seventeen, after all. Practically an adult. She should be able to teach herself how to talk or how to write better. Absentmindedly, Katar curled up into a ball and made a tiny sort of mewing sound. Her large green cat eyes stared over at Romeo. It was very nice of him to teach her. He didn't have to take time out of his busy life to do it, but he was. The thought made Katar smile.

"You even meow? That's cute" he said from his laid position. "So...what do you want to do now?" He asked. "We'll take a decent break so, whatever you feel like doing we'll do." [member="Katar"]

 

[Slot 21]

Katar didn't really know what to think. No one had ever actually called her cute or anything before. So, she just shrugged it off. Hmm, what could they do? Maybe play a game? But what game? She bit her lip and started pondering the subject.

[The Red of Sinner]

He sat up, and looked at her. "Nothing at all? Hmm...who do you think is the more flexible?" He winked at her knowing he could win that contest. [member="Katar"]

 

[Slot 21]

Katar cocked a brow, a bit confused. A flexibility contest? Guess it couldn't hurt. She sat up as well, and pointed to herself. She smirked a little, insinuating a challenge.

[The Red of Sinner]

Romeo in his sitting crossed legged position pressed on the floor, and lifted himself up so, and then what would have put his shoulders out of socket, he then flipped over with his hands in the exact same position they were when they lifted him up, but now he was facing backwards.
[member="Katar"]

 

[Slot 21]

Katar got into a squatting position. She slowly leaned backward, putting her hands palm down on the floor. In a few minutes, her body was completely bent into a circle, with her arms and her head now between her legs.

[The Red of Sinner]

"Impressive!" He appraised as he did the opposite of what he did, but kept his legs in the air, now doing a hand stand. Then he slowly spread them, and kept going till his legs were touching the floor with his heels. Afterwards he slowly twisted his arms till they were now facing the opposite direction of Katar.
"Do you know what I am? I am a Vahla, we have cartilage bones. We also are born with a natural connection to the dark side." He was offering some teaching in his species. [member="Katar"]

 

[Slot 21]

Katar smiled widely, exposing her pearly white sharp teeth. A Vahla? They were a really cool species! She remembered seeing Vahlan dancers in one of her masters' lairs. The literally moved like water. She used to try and imitate them, but she could never do it as well as they could. Now she knew why. Cartilage bones!

[The Red of Sinner]

He allowed himself to slowly fall to the ground, and was now laying on his stomach, starring at Katar. "We are a religious people, serving a goddess named Vahl...though I believe it all a hoax." He said, and watched her smiled. "Katar, what do you want from life?" He asked curiously. Knowing what she wanted in life would help him in training, and also let him know more about her. [member="Katar"]

 

[Slot 21]

Katar allowed her legs to uncurl and stretch out on the floor so that she was laying on her stomach. She folded her arms underneath her chin and thought about Romeo's question. What did she want from life? This question was something she'd asked herself often. Three ideas always came to mind. "Freedom......... Love.......... Happy Ending........." She said, surprisingly clearly.
[member="Romeo Sin"]

 

[The Red of Sinner]

Romeo smirked at her. "You have freedom Katar, no one will ever make you a slave again, I promise you. For love, and a happy ending, how do you plan on getting those? Will you take it? Will you earn it? You have already taken your freedom into your own hands. But love, I believe is something you should try to earn. Love is a strong feeling, and a powerful emotion. It can lead to fear, or even hatred. These things further your path to the dark side." He crawled over to her, and patted her head gently. "As for a happy ending, this means leaving this world with no true regrets worth mentioning, it means achieving all you can, and you are far to young to worry about these things at the moment, even I am to young to worry about endings." [member="Katar"]

 

[Slot 21]

Katar's eyes closed as Romeo patted her head. Her instincts kicked in, as that was one of the things that triggered them without her trying to. She began to purr softly, and she leaned her head closer to him, lifting it up a bit so his hand was still touching her head.
