Looking a little embarrassed, Alice shrugged. "I didn't recognize the actual Latin phrase," she reminded him without looking at him, fiddling with her fingers. "And I would have butchered it trying to pronounce it correctly. I just remembered the phrase, 'the die is cast' from a book." Shrugging again, she admitted, "I didn't get along well with the kids in high school, so I did a lot of reading." She had already sort of freaked out on him, so it wasn't like her lack of social skills would come as a surprise, right? Cocking her head, she made a face as she considered the implications of what he was saying. "Did people really think it was supposed to be English? What did they think it was supposed to say?" She didn't claim to be smart, not by a long shot, but that just seemed... stupid.
