The names she recognizes immediately. But why aren't the Durants teaching Harrowheart English? Isn't that what they speak?
A cold fear washes over her, the anxiety of assuming the wrong thing about someone. What if they've been speaking this... this Deutsche the entire time? She takes the notebook and pen from Caspar and draws a picture of the Earth. "Erde?" she repeats. If there's at least one word other than frak they can both understand, it should be this one.
Caspar does not appreciate the eye roll. He's trying to be helpful, Hayseed McGee. He scans the foreign language thoughtfully, then stares blankly at the word in the letters he can actually read. "Skodaskilde?" he repeats skeptically.
Time for another lesson. Couch he writes, then points to the piece of furniture that Harrowheart had been standing on. What else is useful around here? Computer. He gestures to one of the Nexus terminals. Okay, so not currently useful, but it's an important word to him.
He remembers the eye roll and smirks faintly. He points to Harrowheart again and writes My other car is a tractor. Then he hands the notebook over. Go ahead and read that, big guy.
