A Full Mouth
Kel grabbed a plate of food from the servers, politely said thank you, and went to go sit with Neal and Yuki. The cooks had concocted a new peanut and pheasant dish, and she wanted to see if Neal liked it.
Her thoughts drifted back to her spear class, and she grinned. Today, they had mastered the Windbender, an highly complex move that required the user to throw up and catch the spear, then disarm their opponent.
Kel sat down next to Neal and across from Yuki. "What's got you so happy?" asked the grumpy healer.
Kel smiled "Eat your food."
He grumbled and shoveled a fork-load of it into his mouth. Neal then tried to ask his wife "Can you find out why she's so annoyingly cheerful?" but it came out, unfortunately for him, "Un ooo ky foute hi me hoe a hoy ly hear call?"
Kel and Yuki burst out laughing. Neal swallowed. "What's so funny?" he demanded to know.
"Neal…do you realize what you just said in Yamani?" asked Kel, wiping her eyes in mirth.
"Dearest, you just said 'My dancing peanut fell in a pile of crane dung.'" Yuki told him.
And with that, Neal had named the new peanut and pheasant dish.
