Normally, I'd think learning a language from dreams would be pretty cool. It's a new language and you learn it just from dreams, and that's pretty cool.

You know what's less cool? A language no one else will speak.

Ruf ec drec rambvim?

I doubt I could put 'speaks fluent Al Bhed' on any resume ever.

There's a super cute Korean restaurant opening up not far from my place, do you fancy giving it a try?

What's Al Bhed? The language? It looks a bit like Welsh. I don't speak welsh, but it looks a bit like that. Does it sound like Welsh?

Man, I wanna have these dreams.

There's less phlegm involved. The Al Bhed are ... they're desert dwellers. They're amazing builders. One of them is on my team and he taught me the language during our mission.

So now I speak a language no one else does. Ech'd dryd luum.

Like nomads?

I'm okay at learning languages, I know a couple. You could teach me if you wanted? Then someone else would speak it.

Not entirely, there's only really one area that the Al Bhed call home. Our religion was exceptionally exclusionary towards Al Bheds, because they don't follow the same one as most of Spira. It's complex.

That could be fun, if you're up for learning some semi-useless information.

Oh man that sucks, like the people on Dathomir having their home destroyed because they used the Force in a different way?

I'm always up for learning semi-useless information. You're talking to the guy who can talk you through tech specs for ships that don't even exist.

Kind of. In Spira, the Fayth is something that embodies all the temples, Yevon teaches us that the Fayth is all that can save us from Sin, which isn't just our sins, but an actual entity that tears through the world and destroys places. Summoners are able to harness the Fayth to battle Sin. Apparently, Sin was born from our reliance on machina, which is what the Al Bhed create.

I have this feeling that I really want to be on an airship. Like, not a plane, but something bigger.

O_O your dream world sounds amazing. I want to go there. Other than maybe this Sin thing...

Oh?

I know the feeling, in my dreams there's a group of people who speak another language and I've picked up bits and pieces of it, though I'm not fluent.

Is it your native tongue, in the dreams?

Some of the talents coming through are handy, but this is ... I mean, it's cool, but it's definitely not going to serve me well here.

It's not, but one of my friends is Al Bhed. He likes to gossip in his native.

Well, you could gossip about people without them knowing, though without someone else to gossip with that would be difficult.

What other talents have come through from your dreams? If you don't mind me asking?

It's rather difficult without someone else. Although the three others in my group all speak it, most of the others don't.

I'm slightly better at mechanical stuff, building and the like. Although most of my skills are in recording data and research.

You have a group?

Research skills are always in demand somewhere.

Mmm. We're a squad, I guess. It's a training exercise, to find a weapon to stop something destroying our world.

That's true, my ability to retain information is definitely growing.

That's fascinating; so it isn't just injuries that come through but there's an element of skills transfer, too?

Did you learn it over several dreams or just over the one?

Seems like, I haven't had any injuries come through, but in the dreams I have heal potions and spells.

It's been about five dreams? Gippal has been teaching me for a while there, so I guess the skill bled in now I'm fluent there?

Yeah, I've had a few items and lost the lower part of my leg. No skills transfer, but my dreams are more real-world based rather than anything more fantasy or sci-fi.

Interesting. These dreams are fascinating, learning languages and obtaining objects suggests are reality.

That's horrible and must be so traumatic, I'm so sorry.

It is crazy, I know a world history for a place that, technically, doesn't exist.

I think the acceptance of my state in the dreams is bleeding into my real life. It helps I've got people around to remind me that it could be worse. I got back from three tours practically unscathed.

That is crazy. I can't begin to imagine how weird that must be for you. Does it get confusing?

People undoubtedly help, but it's still pretty shitty. I'm not sure I could accept it the way you have.

Very, I'm eternally wondering why people aren't at the temples, and then I remember it's a different world.

Why in the world would I say no to that? Sounds delicious - Is it a KBBQ??? Because all you can eat grill your own meat is what I want now.

Tomorrow would be great. I feel like we should make a habit of taking Saturday off, when we don't have plans and doing stuff outside, y'know?

How about Friday night dinner, you stay at my place and we go do something fun on Saturday? Yeah, something to look forward to every single week. Our allotted 'get out of the house' day.
