TheRobin: Language

Language Barriers Aren't Caused By Misinterpreting What Was Said, But Rather Not Understand Where That Other Person Comes From…

Continuity: Sometime Before Tokyo

Robin entered the common room to find only three of his four teammates, Cyborg visiting Titans East. Beast Boy and Starfire seemed to be chatting away about something at the island counter, and Raven was in her favorite car deeply concentrating on her new novel. He nodded after discovering everyone's location, heading over to the coffeemaker for his morning cup. He noticed that as he walked to and around the counter, Beast Boy and Starfire instantly dropped their conversation.

Now Robin didn't think anything of it, not until he turned his back and heard BB whisper something in another language. He cut his right eye as he caught Starfire nod slightly, and when he turned around to ask them a question, Starfire was already leaving the room. Beast Boy stayed behind, arms over atop one another on the counter, catching Robin's confused look. The Changeling only offered him a playful wink and a smug smile, before he jumped up and tailed after his orange toned companion.

Robin watched him leave, tilting his head slightly in confusion. He shook his head, charting what just happened as Beast Boy's normally random quirkiness. Pouring his mug to the rim with coffee, Robin slowly walked over to the glass wall and stared out towards the city oversea. "Raven?" He asked her, as he placed his drink against his lips, "Do you know what's up with those two? And that Beast Boy speaks Swahili?"

Raven didn't look up from her book, but responded regardless, "Not one clue." Robin nodded, back to his horizon-gazing. After a couple of moments of silence, just as he was about to take another gulp, Raven made an announcement: "…Apparently, Star does as well." Robin nodded…before spitting out his coffee, and dropping his mug (which Raven caught with her powers) as he sprinted out of the room and after the duo. Raven smirked to herself as she heard him cry, "BEAST BOY!"
