D*VID B*WIE LYRICS MEME // send. me. more.
@hailiing asked : “Can you hear me?”
THE WORDS are foreign and incomprehensible to his maladjusted translator.
SHE COULD be threatening him, she could be offering her assistance; there is a certain sternness in her expression that he finds he has difficulty deciphering, and he stares up at her with wide eyes and parted lips, flinching away from her encroaching touch until she can further prove herself not to be a danger. Federation Territory lies far beyond the reaches of his species’ known comprehension of the galaxy, and these bizarre aliens -- so much like him but so obviously different -- are neither enemy nor ally, simply unknowns.
HE DEMONSTRATES his goodwill by nervously holding his hands up, palms facing her: a truly universal sign that he intends her no harm, as if his terrified expression was not enough indication. The beginning syllable of his sentence is in a language beyond anything Nyota could have ever possibly encountered -- as his translator begins to acclimate to what snippets of English he’s heard, he stumbles through his first comprehensible phrase: ❝ yes. I can hear you. ❞
