"Yes, but it's a good idea to get in the habit of it, for one, and second of all, a few days here and there really do start to add up after a while. So bring me along next time? Who knows, I might be able to do something useful..."

She nods, taking another bite of her fruit. "I just wish someone would tell me what she did."

"Yes, that would be a useful bit of information."

"Critical is more like it. But neiter Savit nor Kellen will tell me," she glances over Tall's shoulder. "Will you?"
Kellen shakes his head from the staircase. "Non ille."
She tilts her head. "A simple 'no' would do. You don't have to be smug about it."

"I'm sure we can eventually get to the bottom of this though..."

"Yeah, if we ever got some cooperation, she mutters, glaring at Kellen.
"non ille," he replies again, straightfaced.
"Stop saying that!"

"What does 'ille' mean again?"

"He keeps saying 'no chance,' like this is some sort of game." She turns away and pours herself a glass of juice.
Kellen looks at Tall, eyes full of some unexpressed meaning.

Tall looks at Kellen, wondering what he's getting at. Just that it was unspeakable to Aka, or something else?

Kellen rolls his eyes. "Dithin..."
"Kellen!" Aka says, whirling around. "I know you're testy about this whole business, but that's no reason to be an ass!"
He murmurs something in the Old Tongue, looking like a chastised child.
Aka is not appeased. "If you want your sister to have a second chance, you have to be a little more helpful!"
"Iru, non ea," he mutters petulantly.
"Fine, third, not second, whatever!" She begins hacking at some fruit viciously.

Tall just watched silently as the two began their exchange, much like a cat watching a ping-pong ball fly between two players.

With Aka turned away, Kellen looks at Tall again, eyes wide, with a look of 'are you a moron, or something?' He hops off the banister of the staircase and moves over the Tall, muttering in his ear, "Non... Ea...Ille...." He moves away quickly, but not quick enough.
"Now you're not even making any sense!" Aka says, spinning back around. It appears the niche did it's job and the soreness is gone. Kellen freezes at her voice and looks at her with a shrug.

Clearly, Tall was missing the important point. Now if only he could stop being such a moron and figure out what it was. That, and purchase a Latin-English dictionary. Honestly, that would be the smartest purchase he could ever make, so why hadn't he done so yet?
"Calm down Aka, I'm sure it's not Kellen's fault, so leave him be."

((not Latin... Old Tongue... HINT HINT!))
"If he'd actually help, I wouldn't have a problem with it. But he just mocks everything!" SHe sinks onto a stool, popping a piece of fruit into her mouth absently.
Kellen simpers, glancing at Tall as Aka continues. "We're trying to break his sister out of the Shackles, and all he can say is 'no second chance'? What kind of outlook is that?"

A spark lights up in Tall's eyes and his mouth suddenly goes to form, 'Oh,' though he remains silent.
((...Umm...I don't get how that helps the situation. I already knew that her name was changed, but what are you getting at?))
