Julian Bashir finds himself expelled from Starfleet and the Federation, stranded on Cardassia without as much as a translator. In his depression, he just wanders, until he finds a little kid in need of help... Written for the Babel Trek Open Project! ------ The child turns back to his small pile of possessions, digging through the old clothes until he finds something. The boy gives him an old and worn book. " Yiah’go." If Julian remembers correctly, that's the imperative form of read. Julian winces because he can’t tell a story. He doesn’t know the language well enough — then he sees it’s a grammar book. Probably something salvaged in the rubble, since a child that young wouldn’t be attending school anyway, even if his circumstances had been different. "Yiah’go." The kid leans on him, rubbing his eyes and letting out a small noise that sounds suspiciously like a yawn. Julian sighs to himself, taking a few deep breaths. He can do this. Julian starts to make up a story in his own language, moving his hands through the air. At this point he doesn't think the child will care.
