[ reaches over to give nathan's hand a pat, keeping his eyes firmly closed as he speaks, already starting to deteriorate into his characteristic babble. ]

Germish. . . ? Is easy to learn? Hard? Nathan talk Germish too? Is important for team?

...

[ wiggles around, making it easier for both of them to move positions. resumes a typical arrangement, sitting up as tall as possible so that he can slowly bring caleb's head to his chest. fidgets, feeling a little uncomfortable in the face of being assertive, but eventually just holds him steady while speaking for caleb's benefit. ]

Naw, it's really difficult to learn. I can speak it sometimes. Not important for the team, though. You should just focus on your English.

[ presses his face into nathan's chest happily, almost instinctively, opening his real eye to help communicate his gratitude & affection when he glances up at the smaller boy. ]

Danke. And I learn English first. But Nathan know a lot. . . what more Nathan know?

Um. I know Japanese... some Korean. But I really want to learn... [ pauses. manages to mumble his last thought out, face going red. ] G-German. I-- I guess.

[ perks up immediately, wrapping his arms around nathan excitedly. ]

German! Deutsch! Nathan learn Deutsch, is very good! I help!

[ blinks in surprise. manages to give him a shy smile, hoping that'll help replace the less-than profound reply: ]

O-okay. Thanks.

Nathan is smart, so Nathan learn fast! Then talk in Deutsch! Easy to say important thing!

Well, where better to learn German than Germany itself, right?

[ nuzzles again. ]

Ja! Deutschland teach good German to Nathan!

[ shakes his head fondly, giving caleb's hair one last stroke. ]

I look forward to it.

[ stays silent and half-deaf to their conversation as she goes along, letting out an "ah!" when her house (http://i35.tinypic.com/9kw429.jpg) comes into view. uses one hand to wave dramatically before pointing to her right. ]

Vadies and Gentleven, our destination-!

[ pulls up to the front of her parking garage and stops the car, getting out to go around to the other side to open the door for caleb and nathan. peers at them before her eyes land on the shorter of the two. ]

This used to be my parent's old place, but I took it off their hands when they moved. [ winks & then looks at caleb, leaning into the car to nuzzle his nose. ] I know you've already seen it, though!

[ grins up at hilda & nods, slowly extracting himself from nathan when he feels his world slow down & re-center. leans his head closer to hilda's to give hers a fond bump. then takes a deep breath, dislodges himself from both nathan & hilda almost reluctantly to push himself out of the car.

jumps up & down a few times when he feels the solid ground under his feet not sway for the first time in many hours. then he tilts his head, taking the time to fully re-adjust himself, looking much healthier & comfortable. ]

< I know Hilda's house inside-out! Hilda doesn't change it too much, so it's easy to memorize. >

[ gives him a fond look, lifting her hand to pet him. ]

< What can I say, I'm a traditionalist at heart. >

[ looks over at nathan, who's still sitting in the car. ]

Do not be shy, Kurzer Junge. My home is your home, you are most welcome here.

[ blushes slightly at being called "shy" but can't seem to protest to it. slowly slides out of the car, rubbing at his arm a little bit as he looks around. lifts that hand and rubs at his eyes instead, grumbling something underneath his breath. ]

[ stays put when hilda pets him, looking content where he stands before the words of nathan's mumble catches his attention. draws back from hilda slowly & bounds on over to nathan, bending a little to peer at his face worriedly. ]

What is contact? Hurt Nathan?

[ uses his other hand to point at one of his eyes after he moves his fist. then rubs at them again. ]

Contacts. For eye color. Things I take out at night and put in when I get up. Damnit, stupid things and their stupid drying up and stupi--

[ pauses. glances at hilda, feeling himself go red again. slowly puts down his fist, groping around for caleb's hand instead. ]

Um. I'll do it... later...

[ isn't even thinking when he takes nathan's hand to give it a reassuring squeeze, trying to understand nathan's words. shakes his head as a signal that he's given up for now, deciding to concentrate on what is more important. ]

Erm. . . but Nathan is hurt? Help now?

[ peers down at nathan, who just avoids eye contact. stands up straight again, giving a small smile. lifts a finger into the air as her other hand lands onto her hip. ]

If he is hurt then we must help at once!

[ rushes over to the other side of the car to grab their luggage, gesturing for them to follow her as she makes her way towards the door. unlocks it and steps in, pointing to one of the doors down the hallway when they reach the entrance. ]

There is a bathroom down there, ja? Caleb, show him the way and I will take your luggage upstairs.

[ follows & nods enthusiastically in answer. gives nathan's hand a small tug as he heads toward the general direction of the bathroom. ]

I help! Nathan, follow?

[ fidgets a bit but gives a small nod nonetheless, allowing himself to be tugged in whatever direction he's being taken. scrubs at his eyes again, muttering nonsense to himself along the way. ]

[ keeps glancing back at him worriedly at the muttering when he starts leading them through hilda's house. somehow manages not to trip, stumble or crash into anything, appearing to be right at home with the building. when they are in front of the bathroom after several seconds of navigating, he turns to peer at nathan again, giving the hand in his another squeeze. ]

Is okay? Hurt a lot? Nathan need medicine. . . ?
