Zara's response to that showed that she had already fully absorbed the linguistic elements of the Italian Cultural mindset, as she gesticulated wildly as she spoke. "What the Hell-a just happened?! You went all-a weird and then you melted into a gooey mess, right on my deck!" she yelled, before she spouted off several untranslatable Italian phrases. "I thought-a you'd been infected by something, and I was-a panicking!" The sound of Zara's high-pitched ravings echoed over the port, and reached the ears of<em>Chokai </em>and<em>Effingham</em>, who were just watching as the home-made nature film was ending.
