#a ​re-hash from the dearly departed old blog

[thorougly-melted-brains]

Ghost speaks pretty good spanish, or, atleast understands it well enough. He speaks better french, learned it in highschool, kept up where he could since.

Problem is, it’s like his voice hasn’t aged in the slightest since then when he speaks french. There’s the hardwired gravel, sure, but with none of the grit of his accent or his mannerisms. It’s like a whole different person talking.

It creeps the shit out of Soap the first few times he hears it. He waits for Ghost to flip up his mask just to make sure it really is him talking. Every time Soap hears him in the other room he has to tamp down the sense it’s someone else.

Ghost loves to tease, as much as he loves to deny it, so he keeps it up. Usually when getting back into the swing of it his normal cadence would filter back in, but he intentionally keeps it out.

He does more than that, even. Practices on his own, digging out old novels to read aloud. He even makes chitchat with some canadian soldiers (though both of them have trouble parsing the other’s accent).

The last one makes Soap twitch, and not just because of the language issue. English or no he can still catch the responding grin in Ghost’s voice.
