Sally's ust having some fun, that's all.

Hatty didn't seem to be having fun.

Quote:

Hatman or G-Eyed may know Canadian French as well. Sally speaks Russian and Estonian I think. Vinnie's got Ancient Greek, Latin, and Chaldean amongst his repertoire. I imagine Alcheman would have at least some French.And of course, Flapjack speaks Rumanian with a strong Carpathian accent.

Even so, I don't believe any of them would have had occasion to speak those languages around Anna, so she wouldn't have heard it.

Quote:

And who'd have thought Yuki would become a role model...

Quote:

The MLA will listen attentively to anybody with tight pants and a leather vest like that.

Still, role model is a new thing for her.
