Re: Study on a Sunday (Vincent)

"I learned German and English in school and from my parents, since those are the regions I've lived in, but the rest were self-taught, yes," Vincent explained. Language and writing were the only things he could unashamedly brag about. Not that he was arrogant in any way, but he wasn't proud of himself for much else.

He smiled at Antares's reassurance. He was quite happy that he'd found someone to discuss things like this openly with. Trusting her with his deepest darkest secrets wasn't on the table yet, but Antares seemed like the kind of person that, one day, might be endowed with the secrets of many. Vincent wouldn't be afraid if his secrets were some of those. For now, though, it was a simple relief to talk to someone about Muggle things without being attacked or harassed as a result.

“I see,” she said, thinking of how she could have learnt Italian from her Uncle if she had ever made enough attention. But she hadn’t, and had always made him translate anything that he said that wasn’t an ordinary phrase. Perhaps she would have enjoyed it, but she’d spent more of her time learning to fight in a war that she was even around to start, and after she started school she hadn’t even thought about it. Shaking herself out of her thoughts, she glanced over at Vincent and grinned. “Say something in another language?”

Antares eyed the boy, wondering what he was thinking, but she didn’t ask. If there was one thing she had learned, it would be that someone would say something eventually if they wanted to. She was curious about something though, so she smiled and asked, “so, were you frozen?”

"Pick a language," Vincent laughed. "Du bist hübsch. Vy prekrasny. Eres hermosa. Tu es belle." He grinned at her, perhaps a little too smugly. With the first two languages, she definitely wouldn't understand. But by the time he spoke the same sentence in French, it would be difficult for her to not be able to figure it out. After all, the French lived for beauty.

To her second question, Vincent shook his head and answered, "Ah no, I wasn't. Were you?"

Antares was surprised when he agreed, and although she didn’t know what he was saying, she didn’t interrupt as he spoke. She wondered if it was difficult to slip from one language to another, though she figured that for some it would be easier than for others. The last one, she was sure was French, and she thought she recognized the words. “Did you just call me beautiful?” she asked, smiling at him despite the light blush on her cheeks, “you’re very good. To my inexperienced ears, anyway.”

The blonde considered the new information for a moment, chewing lightly on her lip. Most of the people she had the chance to talk to had been frozen in the curse on the school. The number of children who were born afterward was lower, most likely because so many people didn’t want to bring children into the new world. “No,” she finally answered, “I was born into this world as well. And sometimes I hate my parents for it.”
