"Life is full of gifts, and if we do not treat them accordingly with what they deserve, they are taken away," the slow paced audiobook continued. "Which is what T'Shar, on a holiday that humans deemed Christmas, was someone who didn't treat objects well…"
Spock paused the audiobook looking over toward the direction of Lyionel who had came down stairs.
"Lyionel?" Spock said, sensing his presence. He turned in the chair in the direction of Lyionel. Spock's long hair was not braided or up in a roller bun as it normally had been but his hands were on his lap. Beside him rested Italian by his feet.
"I, uh, um," Lyionel said.
"Pa'rshed?" Spock inquired. Thirsty?
"Um," Lyionel said.
"Veoth idh?" Spock inquired. Children much?
Lyionel paused then nodded.
"Nash-veh ken-tor," Spock said. I understand,
Lyionel sighed then sat down into a chair.
"Lhir du?" Lyionel asked. Do you?
Spock nodded.
"Terrhaha's," Spock said. Terrans. He gestured toward Lyionel.
Lyionel came toward the Vulcan.
"Cutaes," Spock moved himself to the floor. Floor. Italian darted toward the stairs. "Dekons nash-veh." helps me.
Lyionel mimicked what the elder was doing on the rug. Lyionel was instructed to gather the feelings of what he was experiencing and to catalogue them. The overwhelming feelings were placed on a flowing river. Lyionel visibly relaxed. The feelings that had been gathering throughout the day had left him. Lyionel looked over toward the elder.
"Nemiayo," Lyionel said.
"I expected you to come down tonight," Spock said. "You were late."
Italian mewed sitting on the first step to the staircase. Lyionel helped the elder up to his feet even when he didn't understand a word. Italian mewed brushing against the Vulcan's ankle. Spock went up the stairs cooying back at the cat. Italian jumped into the Vulcan's arm cuddling against his chest. Lyionel grew a smile of his own. He looked over toward the device on the table. Was it a recording device? Lyionel was suspicious. It was a oddly designed padd with a blue disk sticking out at the side.
"Lyionel," Spock called. Lyionel looked up seeing the elder gently pet the cat. "faedhe," relax. "u' heieu." and rest.
Lyionel nodded.
"Good night," Spock said, then opened the bedroom door and went inside.
Lyionel looked down toward the odd device.
I must learn standard.
