Romeo was channel-surfing, which was not entirely unusual.

What was unusual, though, was how carefully he was listening to the actual words people were using, instead of dismissing them as baby talk and watching the picture to put the story together.

he was hoping for a fake-Big Brother, and possibly some other friends, to try his enhanced (or possibly reduced) vocabulary on.

"I think your speech sounds fine," Teyla said. "Though perhaps that is because it seems more familiar to me than the way others around here speak."

"You sound more familiar to me, as well," Romeo noted. "Perhaps our homes are in the same world, in some way."

"Perhaps," Teyla agreed. "Or it could be that we are both lucky to come from the homes that we have."

"How so?" Romeo asked, curious. "I believe I was privileged, in some ways, yet I would not say lucky."

"We were both raised to speak in a way that most people can understand," Teyla said. "You do not feel you are lucky to have been privileged?"

"Lucky enough, though I suppose I had never seen it as such," Romeo said thoughtfully. "Thank you, Teyla."
