I have slept better this past week than I have in very many years, thanks to the kashapti of this station. I feel ready to ask if anyone might want to learn Kordalan, the language of my people? It seems a good thing to share with anyone who is willing.

Those of you who said to me that you would stand at my side if a doorway opens - as things are you would be in danger if you were there without a word of Kordalan and you were separated from me, and that happens easily on a battlefield, or even at the encampments these days. I would give you uniforms for the Avtel Letyara'i but that might do more harm than good if you are clearly not Kordalan.

That is not the main reason, though. I would like to teach anyone who wants to learn. Perhaps someday I will be able to take you to Kordala at peace.

	Hi there! I don't think I ever introduced myself personally to you. My name is Bonnie Lightheart, pleasure to fully meet you. :) I would love to learn your language! As you said, it would be useful should we go through a doorway to your world, and it's something else I'd be able to teach Celeste. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Greetings! My name is Katarin, and I'd be very happy to teach you. Is Celeste your daughter? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's my pleasure to be introduced to you, Katarin. Yes, she is only a few months old at the moment. But given the way this Place works, she may age up.. That neither here nor there, I'm always willing to learning a new language. Should our worlds ever collide, it'd be good to know your native tongue for any sort of treaties. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oui, we can do a skill swap with our languages. I will teach you French, you will teach me Kordalan. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yes, I like the idea of this! And maybe we will return to France someday and I will be able to talk to people in French myself. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	What is kashapti? I'd like to learn. I can help you practice French in return. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You don't have the word? It is the same in Kordalan and Altaisi. Kashapti are people who are very skilled with magic. Really I mean Neville Longbottom. I have been so busy that I am used to taking sleep when I can get it, but a sleep without dreams is a rare luxury. That seems like a perfect arrangement. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, we don't There we go, you've taught me my first Kordalan word. I'm glad that you are sleeping well now. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I want to learn, but you already knew that. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	katarinmiri 2022-03-20 01:42 am UTC (link)
	I know! You are my inspiration. Can I use a room over at your school for my teaching? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miguel_ohara 2022-03-20 06:35 pm UTC (link)
	~~It's not m~~ Of course. Let me know when you want to come and pick the room. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Dean may not be smart enough to learn Katarin's words. But, Dean will be there to help! Just give Dean those... Uh... Little paper things to show anyone Dean should come across if Katarin is not there? (Ooc: Flash cards) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	katarinmiri 2022-03-20 02:48 am UTC (link)
	I can teach you a few words! Enough that if you ever get to help, my people will know you're on their side. Dean! That's a very clever idea! I could give you a letter, in Kordalan, with my signature, and you could show it to anyone who doubted you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ddddeeeeaaaannn 2022-03-21 06:11 am UTC (link)
	Dean would like that, too! Oh... Dean did good? Dean has never been called... Clever before. That is good, yes? Dean will go with anything Katarin wants to do. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)
