Peter's Paranoia

Fay learned the language at a rate that would put any and all the linguists of the earth to shame. And my best guess was that she somehow figured out the melody of the language, figuring out the meanings and words rather than properly learning them. 

But as quickly as this method allowed her to learn how to speak properly, that didn't mean she could understand what I implied. Yet, already aware of that fact, I made sure not to use anything overly complicated. 

'I'm not sure if the walls have ears or not.' This sentence was simple to understand, even if someone didn't know how walls could have ears. 

I wasn't sure about something. And there might be someone's ears here, ones that we couldn't see. Even without knowing the exact meaning of what this sentence entailed, Fay could pretty much guess it. 

And just like I expected, after giving me just a short glance, she pursed her lips and silently followed me to the bedroom.
