I miss home. I know that's normal, I know - I know there's nothing that can be done about it. I try to keep that in mind so it won't get to me so much. Everyone is so nice and helpful, even with everything going on. I'm very thankful, and - I would like to think I have made some friends.

[There's a pause, and he sighs softly. He suddenly isn't sure why he decided to start this feed.]

It's weird... one of the things I miss the most is hearing my language. [a little exhale, followed by a contradictory smile.] I wasn't used to speaking English for so long until I came here.

... Are all of you from English-speaking countries?

[pilot]

No.

But you know that.

[perdre]

[o-oh mr solo]

--yeah. I do. [welp!] But you know other languages, right?

[pilot]

[ so many he puts some un translators to shame. ]

Yeah. My job would be a lot harder if I didn't. [ read: he wouldn't be able to tell when his employer is trying to pull a fast one. ]

[perdre]

How many do you know?

[pilot]

Something like six. [ fluently. ] Haven't counted them.

[perdre]

[Man- he bets it'd be pretty cool to hear Han speak them all, too.]

I'd be pretty proud of myself if I could speak that many.

[pilot]

Saved my life more than once. [ just ask one day and you'll get story time with Han Solo. ] You know anything besides French and English?

[ see he listens ]

[perdre]

I know some words in other languages... Spanish, Italian. Not enough to carry a conversation, though.

[pilot]

You're still ahead of most here. In case the translators break, you can still talk to a lot of people. I'd be out of luck. I'm guessing Galactic Basic isn't a language regularly taught on this rock.

[perdre]

Guess not.

[Hold on for a second, he's debating whether or not he's brave enough to make the following suggestion.]

Maybe it's something you could teach? Here?

[pilot]

[ a scoff. it's a more amused sound, than purely dismissive. ]

I'm not much of a teacher. Anyway who'd be interested?

[perdre]

[Every nerd in the universe. And Peter never considered himself a nerd before this moment.]

I'm sure plenty of people would be interested. Someone must have wanted to set up a school for languages at some point.

[pilot]

[ he shakes his head. ]

Not really my thing.

[perdre]

[No, of course not. He clears his throat after a pause-]

What is your thing?

[pilot]

[ the biggest "I am bullshitting so much" grin ]

I keep my head down. Make a little profit where I can. Stay out of trouble.
