Starglow Basin a man must have a code

The guy who had first roped them into this whole ordeal showed up, just as Saleem had expected him to. In all honest, he had expected it to happen sooner. He spoke nonsense again, and the Galanis gave him a dead-eyed stare, wondering if he might repeat himself or actually speak English for once. Only a beat went by before Saleem decided that was long enough to wait.

I don't know what you're saying. Do. Not. Comprehend. To make his point, Saleem pointed with his paw to the guy's mouth, then his own ears, then shrugged his shoulders dramatically. Clearly there was a language barrier here, and the twin wasn't about to learn something new unless he absolutely had to. This guy was going to have to figure out some other way to communicate if he couldn't do it the old-fashioned way.
