Summary: Wolfgang teaches Amethyst to speak.

Author's notes: This is me using all the German I know. If I got it wrong, forgive me. The German who taught me all these useful phrases has since passed away.

Amethyst sat perched awkwardly on his haunches, lethal claws dangling as he sat up like a puppy, blank silvery eyes focused on the treat in Wolfgang's hand. The German Medic smiled at his pupil, treat held aloft, and spoke slowly and clearly.

"Gut morgin."

A clear inner eyelid slid rapidly back and forth over the blank eyes, like a camera shutter, the computer-enhanced brain working, creating new pathways to the badly damaged brain. After a few moments, Amethyst spoke.

"Gut morgin."

"Gut!" Wolfgang awarded his pupil the treat – a bacon-stuffed mushroom cap. James Nobel had been mad about them when he was human; having been turned into Amethyst had done nothing to dull his passion for them. Wolfgang picked up another mushroom and held it aloft, Amethyst's attention focused on his reward.

"Ich liebe dich!"

The inner lid slipped back and forth. Amethyst wobbled slightly, and cocked his head.

"Ich liebe dich."

"Gut! Who ist a gut boy, hmm?" Wolfgang gave him the mushroom, then picked up another and held it aloft. "Ich bin ein wellensittich!"

Across the room, a lean leggy form seated in a chair lowered his newspaper and stared sourly at the Medic.

"All right, I may not speak a lot of German, but "I am a budgie" is hardly a useful phrase," said Jake.

"Vell you never know vhen it vill be useful to insist you are one, either," said Wolfgang. "Let us try another. Mein kline bratwurst."

"Wolfie," said Jake, "I thought Ted asked you to teach him to speak."

"Ja, und zat is vhat I am doing."

"I think he meant he wanted you to teach Amethyst to speak English."

Wolfgang grinned evilly. "Vhere is zer fun in zat?"
