Well, that is certainly a problem. [He reaches for the wine, then rethinks it, moving instead to take the book off Felix's lap. Through a masterful finagling of plate and paper, he sets his food back down on the makeshift table and replaces it with the book. Reaching behind him, he grabs a pen from his desk and starts writing.]

Perhaps we can trade. I'll start. This—[He motions to the half sausage still left on his fork.]—in my language, is liminikos. [He writes it down, the script flowing, unencumbered by punctuation. Spinning the book to Felix, he points to the word.] It's made up of three smaller letters. [He divides the word into sections, showing Felix the three letters he means, limi, ni, and kos.] Now this—[he points to the mashed potatoes] is ouilnum capannu. [He repeats the practice, dividing the words into letters. He goes through his entire meal like this, pointing out the different pieces and transcribing the words and letters, as if hoping a couple words would help Felix interpret the entire language.]
