fandomtownies | Conversational Lithuanian, Tuesday evening

Hannibal nodded at everybody as they sat. He had a handout for them today with quite a bit of vocabulary on it.

“This weekend reminded me that there are any number of eventualities we might need to prepare for on this island,” he said dryly, and shook his head. This weekend had been…interesting. “Combined with the previous one,” he nodded to Jono and Eleanor, “I thought some vocabulary less traditional for conversation classes might be useful.”

The paper read:

Rifle: šautuvas
Pistol: pistoletai
Knife: peilis
Fire (n): ugnis
Lie (n): melas

Safe: saugus
Careful: atsargus

Stop!: nutrauk, nutraukite
Help me: man padėti

To shoot: šaudyti
To threaten: grasinti
To leave: palikti
To take: imti
To be silent: tylėti
To find: rasti
To steal: pavogti

Shotgun: karabinai
Ammunition: šaudmenys
Rope: virvė
Injury: sužalojimas
Trick: gudrybė

Dangerous: pavojingas
Suspicious: įtartinas

Continue!: tęsk, tęskite
Run!: bėk, bėkite

To trap: spęsti
To trust: pasitikėti
To wait: laukti
To save/rescue: gelbėti
To hide: slėpti
To cheat/deceive: apgaudinėti
To kill: nužudyti

“To review conjugations,” he wrote on the board the conjugation for šaudyti.

“So, shall we discuss this weekend? Or any other? Or perhaps a hypothetical situation?”

With Hannibal or amongst yourselves. Again, he expects a lot of "how do you say this"es. :)

Ah. So that was how you said 'fire.' Jono studied the handout intently.

... Possibly because if he looked good and absorbed in the words on paper, he didn't have to talk about his horrible demise at Kaidan's hand at the sushi orgy.

"Tą savaitgalį buvo įdomu," Hannibal said, shaking his head. "Another phrase I think we'll need more often than not - 'this weekend was interesting'."

//No kidding,// Jono agreed, shaking his head slowly. //Rock and roll orphanage? I spent yesterday morning trying to get room temperature sushi out of the carpet. Joni was happy, at least.//

At least he wasn't still dead? That had been a bit of a down-note on the whole weekend.

"I suppose at least someone enjoyed it. Where was she all weekend?" he wondered.

//Doing the sane thing and hiding, I'd wager,// Jono replied. Oh, if only he could sigh. He'd have to settle for rolling his eyes, instead. //This isn't even the first time she's had to cope with me being completely bloody insane. 'Stunningly handsome and ridiculously wealthy rock-star' my arse.//

Actually, he did have a decent chunk of change to his name. Severance pay after his run with the New Warriors. But he really didn't think about it. It was just kind of there. Enough for him to live more than comfortably, these days, since he owned his own business and didn't eat.

"You were both, apparently," Hannibal answered with a chuckle. "I'm only glad there weren't any actual orphans."

//You and me both,// Jono agreed. //Not only because we'd have to return them when the whole mess was through...//

Jonothon kind of had this thing where he wanted to save all of the small children, but they tended to scream and call him a monster whenever he tried.

It wasn't too great for his self-esteem.

[... send button helps.]

"Mm. I have little experience with children," Hannibal agreed. "And we should be speaking Lithuanian, so I should say, Būdamas našlaitis nereiškia galiu išmokyti juos."

He eyed Jono curiously. "If you speak telepathically, does it matter which language you use?"

//Depends,// Jono admitted. //I don't need words to get my point across, most of the time. Just...//

He took a moment to focus, and then sent something that was a little less 'word' and a little more like a twist of feeling, a sort of notion that he was explaining, just like this. And this would serve just fine, if not for--

//-Comprehension. I can't understand spoken word in languages I don't know unless I'm being invasive.//

Hannibal nodded. "Ačiū. That makes sense."

Natasha was taking very careful notes on some of today's vocabulary. For reasons.

In honor of the hunting vocab, we have:

Venison chili with snowcap beans
Winter vegetable tagine
A dense homemade bread
Mulled beer

Before or after class, he's there if you need him.

Hannibal probably got this text before class:

Gone to Vegas! Have fun without me! Kaip sekasi!

It was late last night. Oy.
