Love across the centuries

Chapter 4

This is a shorter chapter, but I felt as it needed its own chapter. Thank you guys for showing interest in this story, I am trying to write as much as I can before I go back to school in 2 weeks, as always please comment and speak your opinions.

As I predicted Sersi ran to Ajak and Ikaris explaining her side of the story and how we were so rude to her. So, of course, immediately Ajak and Ikaris came to talk to us about this and how 'out of line' we were.

"We're out of line?"

"Yes, Sersi came and explained it to us and how you yelled at her for nothing" Ikaris began

"Nothing? Really? No neither Makkari nor I would yell at someone without a reason, in truth Sersi was saying how she wish she could talk to Makkari as if Makkari wasn't there so Makkari responded wishing that Sersi would take the time out of her busy day to learn sign language" I took a break to calm myself before continuing

"Sersi started defending herself saying that was uncalled for and she had a busier schedule than either of us, which then led to Kari going off at her"

"Well, it seems Makkari's comment was a bit uncalled for" Ikaris comments

"I'm sorry?" I say dumbfounded

"Makkari doesn't hang out around the rest of us and learning new languages are hard" Ikaris defends

Did you ever wonder why I don't hang out with you? It's because you don't sign language, and like I said to Sersi I deal with not being to understand you every day and in our centuries on earth you couldn't have made the time to learn? I translate for her again

"Well that still doesn't give you the right to yell at Sersi"

"She didn't 'yell' at Sersi, she was pissed and spoke with an annoyed tone but there was no yelling"

"What did Makkari say to Sersi?" Ajak says finally joining the conversation

"How dare you, I put up with not being able to understand you every day and you can't have taken a couple of months out of our decades on this planet to learn a simple language for one of your family members. The only reason I can ever understand you is because of the vibrations and Druig or did you never notice that he is constantly signing so I can understand every conversation or were you too busy trying to get Ikaris'. And how dare you say that you have a busier schedule than we do, I fight the deviants every day alongside Druig and the others and what do you do? Turn sand to stone and back, talk to the children? Shut up." I repeat for them.

"Ok well I think everyone needs to apologise and we will attempt to learn more sign language.

Fine Makkari responds clearly annoyed at having to apologise
