Owen bobbed his head nodding enthusiastically as she practiced his name. The first couple of times the vowel sounds were a bit off and then she nailed it. He smiled bigger and nodded faster indicating she had got it. Well, she repeated the name. He couldn’t tell yet if she knew what he meant by it.
She became more distracted by the journal and maps. He watched her finger move to each of the isles and she identified them by name. The way she pronounced them was slightly different than the way things were said back home, but easily recognizable to him. He kept smiling and nodding to encourage her. Finally, they had made some common ground. The delighted giggling noises she made left him feeling like she was less a threat than he had first assumed.
He watched the perfectly browned fish with something like hungry jealousy. His eyes darted back to her when she started speaking again. She identified herself. Julianna.
He pointed his index finger at her, “Julianna?” He asked testing out her name. “Jules? I like it. It’s very pretty.” He complimented her with a smile and thrust his hand out at her for a handshake. “Nice to meet you.”
When she didn’t take his hand immediately, he simply grabbed hers and shook it vigorously up and down smiling at her all the while. He released her hand as he eyed the fish she had removed from the fire. “Is that ready?” He rolled his eyes upwards as he considered how to ask for food. He used the most universal sign he could think of. With his thumb touching the pads of his other fingers, he brought his hand up to his lips and tapped the fingers against his mouth “I’m hungry.” He pointed at the fish and then did the gesture again. “Can we eat?”
