[the Doctor is pacing, murmuring words in Fa’Dielian, irritated but pensive; eventually, he stops, and calls out]

I don't suppose anyone would be willing to identify the language I'm speaking?

[Runs up to him with the epic List she is making, which has pictures of people in rows connected by arrows with one or two tick marks above them. She sets it down and grins at him, then draws in Five connected to Ryotarou, Diva, and Donna.]

[When she's finished with that, she draws another picture of Five with an arrow pointing at a blank space and two tick marks.]

[kneels down to look at it properly, a slow smile curving his lips]

Oh, this is lovely.

[switches to Greek]

A pity we don't share any.

[Headtilt, listening to the sound of the Greek, then starts drawing in Five connected to Susan, Angela, and Kougaiji, all with two tick marks.]

[Then she grins at Five and nods.]

[TRANSLATION NOTEPAD TO THE RESCUE.]

I have no idea. I haven't heard that one yet.

[his eyes widen, and he peers at the translation pad]

Oh, but this is clever. [pause; sheepish smile] Thank you anyway, Misaki.

You're welcome. I thought you would find it interesting.

[happy and excited Fa'Dielian back at you] Oh about bloody time I can talk to one of your lot!

[grins] Donna! Oh, this is fortunate. I'm glad I've a friend to talk to.

[Fa'Dielian ftw!]

Everyone I've spoken to who speaks this.. doesn't know what it's called, actually.

[smile! but then a frown]

That's a bit odd. I imagine any native speaker is without it now, as well...

I suppose. Just like I can't speak Japanese anymore.

And I can't speak... [his nose wrinkles] Well, Gallifreyan, but I rarely did anyway. I can't speak anything I usually would, I'll say.

[nods] None of the Doctors I've spoken to can. It looks like it doesn't matter how many languages you could speak before this.
