[See this is why he likes you so much Tsuruno.] That's very observant. Most people wouldn't see it.

[So he switches to Sumeran. It isn't the first time he's used it around her but it's usually when Kaveh's also around rather than when they're alone.] If you look carefully at how I'm saying it, can you see all the differences from what you hear?

[ she peers at him, Banzai's tail waving as the dog looks between the two of them. ]

It's like you're on a lag... like your mouth movements aren't matching the words exactly.

It's an illusion that occurs audibly, but not physically. [And that's probably because so few people would notice that there's no reason to go through the extra detail.] Kaveh and I attempted to bypass this automatic translation by creating an entirely new language, but it didn't work.

[A beat.] Well, I created the language. Kaveh just helped with the initial idea.

[fanstheflames]

You two work well together. Obvious statement, I know.

[ But she says it brightly. ]

But it's interesting that system's prepped for anything new, though I guess that'd make sense. You wouldn't always be able to predict what language might be different, unless it could adjust automatically.

[Perhaps it is an obvious statement. Alhaitham, regardless, smiles for the recognition of it.]

Yes, though even the Akasha couldn't do such a thing and that was created by a god. What's interesting is that if you mix the alphabet of one language and the phonemes of another, the translation doesn't work. However it works can't operate based on intent alone.

[fanstheflames]

Huh... so it's not perfect. You guys really dug into this, huh?

[ She says, completely unsurprised. ]

We were hoping it could be used to subvert however much we're being monitored, since it was clear early on they knew more about us than they should. [Also he just likes language. Too bad this universal translate is taking all the fun out of it.]
