Hello everyone, here is another one shot
I know this hasn't been updated in a long while, not for almost 10 months. It's just been hectic and I haven't prioritized this. But, here it is finally
In chapter 54 The Children, Namur find out Ace can speak fishmen and the two bonds over that. Set somewhere after chapter 54, but before 56
The text in bold is fishman language as it makes it easier to read
This was a request from Guest
Hope you enjoy
Read and relax
Namur moved toward the railing, most having ventured inside as it was getting dark and the nights were somewhat chilly. Ace, however, was still out, holding a cup of something as he leaned on the railing, looking at the rising moon. The assassin had worked a lot the last days, but seemed to have this night off, and Namur hadn't been able to speak about something.
When Namur reached the railing, Ace moved to look at him for second, before taking a sip of his cup, looking and smelling to be coffee. "You on shift tonight?" Namur shook his head. "No, I think it's Izou and Jozu tonight. I just wondered, when those kids were here and you spoke to Alyssa, you spoke in fishmen, right?" Ace gave a chuckle. "You can't be that surprised. And, it's useful." Namur had to give a chuckle himself. He wasn't that surprised, he just didn't expect it. "I didn't expect it only. Many don't speak it longer." Ace gave a hum. "More than you think speak it. Most just don't. many look down on it, which is stupid. But, it makes it possible to speak without others overhearing." Namur gave a frown, before he gave a small snort. "Let me guess, most assassin speak it." Ace chuckled. "Again, I don't get why you're shocked. Most do, and there actually are places where they only speak fishmen. Most assassin's peak at least 3 languages."
That was a bit of a shock, that so many spoke different languages. But, again, they traveled almost everywhere. "How many do you speak?" Ace gave a hum as he thought. "5, almost 6. I have issues with the northern one, the grammar is hard." Namur had heard about that, being an old language, few speaking it, but those who did, mostly only spoke that. "That is amazing. Never knew how many actually spoke more than one, especially fishmen. I thought it was dying." Ace took a sip of his cup. "It's not. It's actually getting more popular places. Not with most humans, that's just since they are scared to be judged- which again, is stupid."
"And," Started a voice behind him, Namur turning his head to see Mika there. "Much easier to swear in fishmen. Funny to yell estúpido or pendejo to others. They never know what you mean." Namur had to admit he wasn't the best at swears, but had a feeling those meant douchebag and ashole, based on what he had heard. "Yeah," Started Ace. "That is the best part. So fun to wear others off when they don't know it. Just say it casually." Namur could see how that was amusing. "Never really heard many speak, and must admit I'm getting rusty." He really liked this, to speak with others, there was something about speaking his native tongue that just felt amazing.
Mika chuckled, leaning on the railing beside him. "Many does speak it, you just need to listen for it. I'm sure we'll dock at an island. And, we can take you to places they speak it. They love to meet others." Namur wouldn't mind that, and nodded, feeling content with this all. He never really knew how much he missed speaking his native tongue until Alyssa spoke, her mother, and now. It just felt right. "You should speak to Jacob and Evie, Jacob would love it." Said Mika, making Ace laugh as he nodded. "He would. He loves others who speak. He even gets so excited he mixed words." Mika chuckled as she nodded too, Namur chucking a bit, not able to help it-
Namur stayed up the entire night, speaking with Ace and Mika, the two being really good company.
It felt really nice.
And that's the chapter, hope you enjoyed
