Never doubt Sabine's boasts

explosive_artist"No way. I don't believe it," Zeb said while thinking of his next move on their game of dejarik, the holographic creatures occasionally making tiny cries as they sat idle.
"Learned it at the Academy. It wasn't that hard." Sabine sat patient, knowing she'd be able to out wait the impatient lasat.
"Not buying it." Zeb punched in his choice, watching his piece move and completely missing the tightening at the corners of Sabine's eyes. "Look, kid. You're skilled. I ain't arguing that. But I simply can't believe you speak Wookie. Understand it, sure, but you don't have the vocal cords for it. No one but a wookie does."
"It's Shyriiwook, not wookie, and yes, I can." She set another lure in place for her move and sat back with a sly grin as she started humming.
Zeb made his next move. "Prove it then," he said, falling into her trap; both on the board and in the galley.
Turning the hum into a song, Sabine sang, "Uughguughhhghghghhhgh uughghhhgh uugggh aaaaahnr uughguughhhghghghhhgh, aarrragghuuhw huuguughghg wuuh uuh huurh huurh..."
Zeb winced, both at the shyriwook and seeing he'd lost the game.
A few hours later, Zeb couldn't resist pointing out that knowing one song didn't mean she spoke the language. And really, how did he know she was even speaking proper words?
She just smiled and sang, "Aaaaahnr awwgggghhh hnnnhrrhhh uugggh, uughghhhgh huuguughghg aguhwwgggghhh uughguughhhghghghhhgh uggguh. Aarrragghuuhw huurh uughguughhhghghghhhgh awwgggghhh uughghhhgh huuguughghg raaaaaahhgh uggguh..."
Zeb decided he had things to do somewhere else, but she chased after him.
At dinner, Sabien didn't even give Zeb a chance to say anything, just started singing a new song as soon as she saw him,
"Uughghhhgh aaaaahnr wuuh raaaaaahhgh raaaaaahhgh uughguughhhghghghhhgh uughghhhgh aaahnruh huurh. uughguughhhghghghhhgh aarrragghuuhw aaaaahnr huurh huuguughghg wuuh aaahnruh wrrhwrwwhw uughghhhgh..."
"OKAY, OKAY, you can speak wookie or shyrilwook or whatever it's called, just stop!!!"
