Dom stood outside Neal and Yuki's door with an apprehensive look on his face. Now or never, he thought, raising his hand to knock.
Dom was about to walk away when Neal, clad only in breeches, opened the door. "Oh, it's you Dom. What do you need?" Neal leaned on the door frame barring entrance to his rooms.
"Well, I need to ask your lovely wife for a favor. And before you ask, no, I will not tell what the favor is." Neal looked a little put out at this, although he quickly hid his disappointment.
"If you say so Domitan," he turned allowing Dom to enter as he sauntered toward his bedroom. "Yuki, my blossom, Dom is here and he wants a favor. He won't tell me what it is so I assume it's about Kel."

Yuki sent her husband to breakfast while she talked to Dom; he was her favorite member of Neal's family. "What can I help you with?"
Dom took a deep breath, and rushed into it. "Well, I don't want anyone to know about it, but I want to become fluent in Yamani. Kel is always muttering in Yamani and I want to understand her. Can you help me become at least semi-fluent in time for her birthday?"
Yukimi's face lit up at Dom's hurried request. "I'll help. And not a word of it will escape from my lips."
