Speech Therapy
Part 2: Cray and Rei
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Well don't this just beat all..."
I looked up from the stooped position I had put myself in. "Oh, hi
Rei." I said, still tugging on the First Emperor's armour. "Cicero, what
are you doing to Fou-Lu?" Cray asked, joining us. "Oh, we're looking for
someone who can help us fix his speech problem." Rikage explained.
"He has a speech problem?" Rei wondered.
"You haven't heard him talk, have you?" Cray laughed.
Happily, Cray slapped me on the back. "Rei can help!" he said. I looked
at Rikage. "Worth a try, C..." he muttered. "Okay. Good luck to the two of
you!" I said, shoving Fou-Lu into rei. "We'll do what we can..." Rei said,
a bit reluctantly.
Making sure they did something, I followed closely behind as the two
"cats" brought Fou-Lu with them as they walked around my studio. "So
what's the problem with this guy anyway?" Rei asked. "
"What dost be thine designs for me?" Fou-Lu asked Rei suspiciously.
"A-hah..." Rei said, blinking.
Immediately, he spun around and saw me walking behind them. "This is a
suicide mission, Cicero kahran!!" he cried angrily. I grinned innocently.
"Oh how I love the smell of torture in the morning." I said, humming the
tune to Mission Impossible.
The three sat on rocks facing the lake as I was nearby, under a tree
with hot tea to calm anyone who threatened to go terminal from frustration.
"OKay, so how do we do this?" Rei asked, looking at me. "Beats me" I
replied. "I guess I should start by..uh.. geez...where do we begin?" Rei
stammered."We could start with trying to get rid of the pronouns." Cray
said. "Just a suggestion."
"Okay...hey C, what's the equivalent of thou in normal english?" Rei asked.
I blinked and thought for a moment. "Erm...Thou is you." I replied. "Kay!
Thanks..." he said and turned back to face Fou.
"Uh, think you could manage to get rid of that, then?" Rei asked.
"Thou art fighting a losing cause..." Fou-Lu sighed.
"This is harder than it looks." Rei said.
"That's what I've been trying to tell you..." I replied, laughing.
"Don't this just beat all..." Rei grumbled.
About two hours and six cups of tea later, Rei slumped down under my
tree. "I give up, Cicero... this is going to kill me..." Rei said. "Guess
you weren't up to it..." Cray said, coming up to us. "Cicero, couldst thou
now discard thine designs on correcting mine diction?" Fou-Lu said,
crouching down before me.
I shook my head. There just had to be a way to do this. I wasn't just
about to give up. I think I had an idea on where to go this time around.
A woren and a weretiger didn't seem like the right choice.
