I was attempting to explain somewhat painstakingly why some things are easier to express in some languages than others.

I had more cases than usual of words from other languages seeping in as I tried to express in English, because the English didn't fit.

I debated leaving them in, but instead went and rewrote.

And lots of that is thanks to [livejournal.com profile] lstone talking to me about working through weird bits of combat so I could find a way for this sequence to actually be plausible. Yay Logan.

. . .

And now 1429, and I think I'm done with this chapter, which is a new record, at least for this project; 3665 words in three days. I need to prod at bits of it before sending it to [livejournal.com profile] brooksmoses, though; I'm not sure I'm happy with this bit of dialogue.

And I know how the next chapter starts; I think I'll write a little on that so I don't get chapter-break stuck.

*edits previous chapter to add five words*

3672 final on eighteen, after a little tweak with the assistance of [livejournal.com profile] oneironaut and [livejournal.com profile] lstone again. Yay all of us.

And 246 more on nineteen, making 1682 for today.

Lennon likes to sleep on the stairs. I think this is because if he stretches out along the tread, he causes maximum inconvenience to all the humans in his vicinity. Also, because the air conditioners are upstairs, he can precisely pick his desired temperature -- he tends to stretch out more when he's sleeping on the lower stairs, and curl up into a neat ball when he's sleeping on the top one.

Anyway, he was napping on the steps, and I wandered over. He yawn-greeted me (a yawn and a meow delivered simultaneously just sound weird).

I sat down a few steps lower than he was. "Mm?" he said. "Hello, Lennon," I said.

"Agaow."

"What do you want, then?"

We had a few more uninformative exchanges, and then I rubbed his head. This seemed to be something like what he wanted; I rubbed his spine and he turned around to glare at my hand. Not door #2. I try moving my hand back up, and he rubs his cheek on it, so I scratch his cheek and shoulder.

He leans into it, leans over the edge in fact. "Lennon, you're going to fall over," I say. He blinks at me curiously. I continue rubbing; he leans. "You're going to fall over, Lennon," I repeat. "Mmmmmmmmrm?" he says, and slowly flips over the edge of the step, to land on his side on the one just up from me, leaning against my thigh and with his feet dippily waving in the air.

Cats.

. . . clear view.

Inane ramblings about today's evening out. )
