You make me very curious how this sounds when put through text-to-speech. I might need to try that. I've done that with a few fics of my own, but only when I don't have anything else to listen to... Oh dear, imagining how Prince's speech is read with a text-to-speech... and how LSK characters' speech will be read given everything will be backwards... It probably doesn't sound very good?

Haha, good thing the speech is actually decipherable then? If readers are trying to figure out what he's saying. I was tempted to just do some key smashing, but I wanted to make sure Prince was actually understandable, and not just to readers who know a certain language, as would be the case if I chose to use a different language.

Yeah, I do feel that being a literature professor would help Gui with languages, but even more if he were a linguist, which he's not. The fact that he's a genius would certainly help. It'd help Wicked too, since Wicked seems pretty smart to me too, though not on Gui's level of genius. And yup, Wicked would be very motivated to learn to help Prince too, but Wicked... yeaaah. He needs to look out for himself first!
