Hey D, you know what's really weird about the language thing you did to me? Well, okay, not what you did to me, but you know what I mean. The little bit of you, of Endlessness, I carry around.

It's the fact that I know all these languages now. Actually know them. I mean, unless I'm actively thinking about, say, English, most people just interpret whatever I say in their native tongue, and that's cool as fuck. But if I want to, I can just turn on German. I never knew German before.

And what's more, I know how the languages work. Do you know what a gerund is? I didn't, not until I was bitten by a radioactive Endless! I know all this grammar stuff now. Which I probably should have known at some point in the past, given that I was a journalism major, but that's neither here nor there.

I don't think I was even this fascinated when I developed my first set of superpowers. Tits are wonderful, don't get me wrong, but singing the Star Spangled Banner in Maori is just a party.

	[Tamaranean]Yes he is also not my Robin. My Robin does not speak it either, at least not in the fluent sense. I am sure that he understands a few words, as I use them...frequently.[/Tamaranean] I speak a few Earth languages as well. Japanese and English primarily, but I have learned others.

	[Tamaranean] I'm very aware of which words you use frequently. Where I come from, I stayed in Titans Tower for a while, and you and Dick's room was right across from mine. [/Tamaranean] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Tamaranean]I am blushing most unbecomingly. You are incorrigible, Jason Todd. My Robin and I did not do anything in our Titans Tower. But not for lack of trying on my part.[/Tamaranean] (Reply to this) (Parent)
