Day 35: Bus 1

[misterprince.livejournal.com]

Sanji woke up groggily to find his nurse already in his room. He gave a sleepy and half-hearted "Buh?" before realizing that nurse meant dayshift, and he'd fallen asleep after dinner.

"Shit!" He sat up abruptly, which gave his nurse a start. "Nami-swan!" How had he allowed himself to sleep through an entire night? What if she'd tried to return to the basement? What if she'd been waiting for him to appear and protect her? He'd let her down!

"There, there. Calm down." His nurse set a familiar flannel shirt down on the bed and Sanji eyed it with confusion. The last time he'd worn that had been... "Sorry I didn't knock or anything, but I was so excited~!" A pair of jeans followed the shirt. "Today is the field trip into town! Aren't you looking forward to it?"

The chef had to admit, the town had been an interesting enough place the last time he'd been. If he could find Nami early on he might even be able to lead her around... So he didn't complain too much as he changed into the other outfit (which he really wished they'd let him keep - anything was better than the regular gray) and was led out to the first of the buses.

He took a seat near the front, hopefully easily visible to any of his crew - especially to a certain member of his crew.

"Aren't you?" she asked, still hesitant. Why was Willow so insistent? She definitely didn't know English well, not enough to be fluent and the words coming out of Willow's mouth were definitely Japanese. Why did the girl have such a hard time accepting that?

So to Kagura, Willow was speaking Japanese, while on Willow's end it all definitely sounded like English. Did everyone hear something different depending on what language they were most familiar with? What happened, then, if Willow were to speak in something like Spanish right now? Would Kagura still hear it as Japanese anyway?

Seeing the expression on her face, Willow gave an apologetic smile. "Oh, I'm sorry! It's just... to me right now, you're speaking English. So..." she paused. "Could you tell me what you hear when I say this? Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" It was a Latin phrase, one of the first Willow had ever learned. She heard it as Latin, but... would Kagura?

Willow sure asked a lot of strange questions. "U-um... I didn't understand it at all, I'm sorry," she said with some embarrassment. It just sounded like gibberish. French? Maybe Spanish? She wasn't even sure.
