I really am amused by the in character responses.
[X] Sigh at the antics of the nearly Awakened. Turn to the big person and Stare at her. What does she want with you, anyway? You don't know any Big People
You heave a sigh and poke the passed out fairy. Yep, she's going to be out for a good while. You turn to stare at the Big Person instead. Now that you really look at her, you note that aside from the shiney silver hair, she's got metal armor just like you. Though the design is rather different it's pretty obvious what it is.
She say something and you scowl slightly. You can make out maybe a word of that.
"I can't speak that yet-t." You state simply, and you see the Big Person's eyebrow raise.
She looks around at the dreamers floating around and seems to be contemplating something. They probably could be used to translate somewhat, but they really don't have the attention span. You think she makes the same conclusions because she sighs and rubs at the bridge of her nose.
"Yep!" You toe the sleeping dreamer. "You got me, and we can't talk. Funny isn't it-t?"
The Big Person snorts at you, and states something definite sounding. You get maybe one word in ten right then.
"Tell you what, I'll be here tomorrow with this one-e." You state simply, sounding out the word in their language and pointing down at the sleeping one.
You see the big person frown and look at you. She doesn't seem to want that, and states a single word. You think it's promise.
It's not as if you couldn't break a promise if you wanted to, so you repeat the word and nod. You then point to the sleeping one again, and the ground in front of you.
The Big Person nods once decisively, and then looks at you penetratingly. You shudder slightly, that's far to similar to a displeased keeper for your liking. She gets to her feet and begins to walk away, towards where the rest of the Big People are staying.
You frown and heft the sleeping awakened onto your shoulder. This entire fiasco was interesting, but you aren't certain exactly what was going on at the moment. You think you are going to have to pull an all-nighter learning the language though. It's not going to be pleasant.
You flit back to the life blossom, and start looking around a bit. The Keeper should be nearby, and she would be far more suited for dealing with a new Awakened. You find her near the top of the tree, serenely stitching a set of spidersilk clothing together. As you approach she looks up and smiles at you.
"I see Iraida has found you." She states simply. "The poor dear was getting a mite frantic looking around for you-u."
"That's her new name-e?" You ask as you set the girl down.
"Indeed." The keeper continues to stitch the clothing together. "I see you found your self a new set of clothing. I recognize the work, it's quite nice if expensive-e."
"I like it-t." You shrug as you settle down.
"It fits you hunter. I also think it will make the Hound-Person you were speaking with respect you more." The keeper's look on you makes you shiver slightly. "Get some food, take a break, and prepare. We should learn more about our neighbors, and since you have so generously volunteered, you get to be the one to do so. Be certain to make a good impression-n."
Urk.
