[ isn't entirely there even when the plane comes to a complete stop; the noise ringing in his head is as painful as he remembers it being, making him sway a bit while pressing a hand to his forehead. the world before his eyes seems to double, triple, merge back into one, then double again, while the blueprint-world throbs in noisy emptiness. makes small whimpering noises when they're walking, barely hanging onto consciousness by focusing on that comforting, erratic heartbeat he knows is near.

gropes around for a smaller hand that he knows is around (but can't remember why it would be right this moment) while mumbling absentmindedly under his breath in german, as if he's welcoming himself back home. ]

[ smiles back at him fondly & leans in to touch their foreheads together. speaks quietly. ]

Gern geschehen.

[ closes his eyes briefly within the contact, but opens them again when he hears those words. ]

... what was that?

[ repeats obediently: ]

Gern geschehen.

[ shakes his head with a smile. ]

Still don't know German, I guess.

Nathan learn! But in English is 'you're welcome'.

... I should've known that.

[ pats. ]

Is okay. Deutsch have a lot of 'you're welcome'.

[ scratches the back of his own head with a sigh. ]

This is gonna be difficult. I foresee much pain in the future.

[ shakes his head. ]

Deutsch is fun! I help! Hilda help too!

Or I could get one of those books on CD for the plane ride back. "How to Learn German in 24 Hours."

[ blinks. ]

CD work good?

Uh. I dunno, I've never used one. Maybe?

Buy, and try! And English for me!

[ blinks at him, looking surprised. ]

Really?

Is okay to try, ja?

Well, yeah, guess there's nothing wrong with that...

Test when done. Try Deutsch when back at house.

Please treat me well, uh... [ a pause. ] How do you say "teacher" in German?

[ grins & seems to puff up a bit. ]

Lehrer.

[ smiles at him gently, giving a nod. ]

Alright. Lehrer, then.

[ draws him into yet another hug. ]

I be good Lehrer! Help Nathan like Nathan help me.

[ decides this is a good time to return that hug, giving a small grunt. ]

You'll still know more English, probably. M'not very good at non-Asian languages.

Nathan try? Before?

Yeah. [ & then turns his face away, feeling his ears go pink. ] R-right after I met you.

[ blinks. then looks down at him with wonder. ]

. . . !! Wow! That is great! Nathan is great!
