In the great dining hall, King Robert had an area just for the Knights from Earth. It was elevated about 3 feet higher than the long table that was full of future Knights to be trained.

When the girl led them into the hall, the young men at the long table stood at attention. The knights, quite taken by this show of respect, took their indicated seats and gazed down at the young men, still standing.
King Robert said, "Please gentlemen, be seated.
We will all eat our breakfast while it still hot and then there will be the introductions and questions."

After the very hearty breakfast was over, the King once again stood and said, "Gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?" The low murmur that had been present all during the breakfast, stopped and all eyes focused on King Robert.
He said, "As you all know, these brave Knights are from another world and a time eons before our own.
I will now introduce them." As the Knights were introduced, one by one, they received thunderous applause. King Robert said, "Now my good Knights, I will answer any questions you may have."

Sir JonPop had been appointed as the speaker of the group, stood and said, "We have many things that are puzzling to us, your Highness. How is it that you all speak perfect English, have you studied our language? The King said with a hearty laugh, "Not at all, Sir JonPop. You are speaking and hearing our language that all people of the Planet Nib, speak." Sir JonPop, looking quite puzzled said, "And how is this so, King Robert?" The King said, "This is because, when you traveled the far distance from your world, to ours, you were placed in hyper sleep. Our language was taught to you while you were asleep."
"It is so natural to you now, it's as if it were your own."

Sir JonPop asked, "When we return home, will we still speak this language? How will we be understood?" King Robert laughed again with his jolly laugh and said, "No, as soon as you hear someone on your world speak, you will revert to your natural language, but you will always be able to speak, Nibbonese." (Ha-so hee)
