Cross could not remember when she last conducted herself in accordance with the accepted norms without creating a headache for someone.Once she smelt the aroma of cooked food the doctor realized how hungry she was and with good reason having burned so many calories,oh well thanks to Nkosenye she did not end up ripped apart by a pack of hungry Hyenas ..after that thought she gave him her most angelic smile.

Nkosenye smiled back and winked. What followed was a few hours of eating, laughing, stories, and family. Everyone spoke Standard so that Miriam would not feel left out. At one point Nkosenye’s father looked at her and smiled warmly. As the rest of the table talked and interrupted each other and carried on, he stood and walked over to her chair and knelt down on the floor next to her so he could look at her directly. “Dear, if you even want to learn our language, I’m sure you would do well with it. Let me kow. Perhaps while you are here you and I could work on that, if you like.” and then a somewhat confused expression crossed his face. “How long are you here, by the way?”

Nkosenye, CoS

Seeing them laughing and telling stories Cross could not help but be a bit envious for she had never known what a close knit family was like.

At one point Nkosenye’s father looked at her and smiled warmly.

She smiled back at him and when he come over hearing what he had to say Cross nodded ‘’Some words,important ones cause I’m not that good at learning a new language.English is already enough for its not my native one ‘’ for a moment she thought of a word ‘’Xtahseb? (what do you think?)’’ she asked a with sincere and genuine look .

Kagiso smiled broadly and said “You will do fine. Zulu is not always a language of words. Emotion drives much of what we express. And you seem as if you know emotions very well, dear one.” and he chuckled. “Tomorrow morning. I rise early. Meet me when you awake on the rear porch and we will begin. I am sure you will do very well indeed. You have the heart to.” and with that he rose and retook his seat.

Kagiso, Nkosenye’s Father

Cross simple gave him the thumbs up, then rested her head on Nkosenye’s arm eyes half closed.It had been a lengthy ,wearisome day .Now she was completely and utterly exhausted,their voices were getting farther and farther away as the doctor appeared to succumb into a deep sleep.
