"I can write out our alphabet in English if you like." he offered. "Wraith is akin to Lantean but as you don't know either I imagine it'll be impossible to read anything. Other than the pictures of course."
He'd learned how to read and write English while on Atlantis during his time working with Doctor McKay some years ago. The slang and double and triple meanings still occasionally hung him up but now he could read it with little problem, even having borrowed Sheppard's copy of War and Peace when he'd been in the hospital thanks to some nasty side effects of the gene therapy.
He didn't understand fiction, he found it a bit strange that one would write about people and places that didn't exist. But then again he lived in a galaxy where only the most advanced civilizations that slipped through Wraith radar created books, and most were historic or the like.
