[Hei is exhausted. He's also speaking in Gallifreyan, so just imagine that combination.] Has anyone figured out who can talk to who, yet?

[Muttered in Tibetan,] Be nice to just sleep through this whole thing...

...you too?

[contract_star]

[Stares at her a moment before answering--in Gallifreyan.]

Japanese. So...you weren't affected.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what you just said. What language is that?

[contract_star]

Well, at least you're not involved in all this.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Ugh. She facepalms and then reaches for his hand in a sort of 'are you all right?' gesture.]

[recognizes the Gallifreyan but this time he isn't pouting. Instead he's come to speak in...pictionary. Yes.

So he holds out a pad of paper with the following doodled upon it: it starts with what looks like a shrine with beads, then moves to a stick figure with a >) expression, then to a doodle of a guy in a long coat and a frowning face, then a stormy cloud with a lightning bolt, then a stick figure in a long coat with a tuff of hair sticking up holding his hand out to the other long coat stick figure. Lastly there is a stick figure that looks grumpy and is holding a gun and he circles this one]

[contract_star]

[Oh shit, it's the Doctor. Stares at him for quite some time.]

[Gallifreyan,] D... You...

[Takes him a minute to notice the drawings, but when he does he just frowns and shakes his head, since he has no idea what the Doctor is trying to say.] I don't...I don't know what... [He takes a step backward. All those feelings and things that he was just starting to try and deal with are rushing back.]

[THINKS THESE TWO AT CLOSE QUARTERS MAY NOT BE A GOOD IDEA JUST NOW. So yeah, totally getting between them, holding a hand out palm-up to Hei and holding up a "stop" hand at the Doctor.]

Well, I don't know if either one of you can understand me, but I'll try, at least.

[Looks at the pictures.] ...what the hell is that.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[happily; in Japanese] Japanese! Oh, good. [mellows out] Right, no, I was trying to tell him...well, I was trying to apologize. And tell him what we're workig on to help him.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[hi, Hei.

Yeah, sorry.

Not really.

In Gallfireyan~]

Oh, fancy that! You got my mothertongue.

[contract_star]

[Hei is pretty sure that his heart stops for a moment there. He doesn't have his back to a wall this time like with the other Master, but for now he is frozen in place, staring at the Master.]

Y...why can I...why is it you?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Hell if I know. Word of advice, Mr Shengshun? Try to avoid using Gallifreyan where I can hear you. I don't take kindly to it.

[contract_star]

[Drops his gaze to the floor and takes a step backwards, shaking a bit now. Switches immediately to Tibetan.]

Yes, Master.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[SHOUNEN HERO IS HERE TO SAVE THE DAY only not really. He calls out to Hei in Tibetan.]

Hey! I can totally understand you. [he switches really quick to Gallifreyan] And this, too. [But back to Tibetan in case the Master shows up again.] What's up?

[contract_star]

[In Tibetan,] Right. Jack mentioned you could. [Flinches at the Gallifreyan, but stays speaking Tibetan.] Don't...don't use that second one, if you can help it.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Ikki sees something there, something he didn't see before. Fear?... Oh, jeez, Hei. What the hell /happened?/ He keeps it to Tibetan.] Got it. Already got some unwanted attention 'cause of it, yeah.

Hey, mind waiting here for a second? I want you to turn around and close your eyes, just in case.

[contract_star]

[Darkly,] I can guess who from.

[Frowns a bit, suspicious because--well, because he's Hei.] Why?

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

[ French. ] Darn, I was hoping we'd be able to communicate.

[ She gives him a sympathetic little smile and tips her head. Both his languages seem to be a mouthful. ]

[contract_star]

[In Tibetan, since he doesn't want to use Gallifreyan,] I take it you couldn't understand either of those?

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

[ Angela just shakes her head, then pouts. ]

[contract_star]

Too bad.

How are you? Um... [Gestures toward her and then makes a sort of shrugging motion and tilts his head.]

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

[In German, because Minato's smart like that.] You're tired...

[contract_star]

[In Tibetan,] That sounded like German.

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

... [Holds his hands together and rests his head on them, mimicking a pillow]

[contract_star]

...Sleep, right. I know. [He shrugs and shakes his head.]
