Shards of Memory--Act I: The Boundless Void
Gaius,
Gaius gives Diedrik a firm handshake.
[sblock=in Thralg]" And good day to you, Wise One. I am called Gaius, and I cannot remember when last I've heard two people speak the Tongue of my Fathers, although it seems to me you have had help from the Elder Spirits."
* He looks around, confused by the many languages.*
"Sadly, I cannot understand what all the rest is saying. Is there a tongue you all share? I might try to learn some of the basics."
He grins.
"Or everyone else could try to learn Thralg or high Praetorian."

"So what brings you two on this little expedition into the unknown?" Diedrik asks, "I'm guessing the prospect of strange new discoveries is a tempting lure for intellectuals such as yourselves."
The young Rowaini gentlemen leans back against the railing, seemingly interested to hear what the Altanians have to say.[/sblock]

When they are able to comprehend one another, Diedrik seems impressed by the large warrior's response and observation.
"Elder Spirits? Perhaps, I've picked up a few tricks in my travels. I think most, if not all onboard, speak Eldish. If you're up for learning another language I'd recommend it. I'd wager it was well within your ability too, you strike me as being quite keen of mind relative to your brethren," the Rowaini replies honestly.[/sblock]
Kirkesh & Vanessa (in Rowaini, easily observable):
[sblock]
Diedrik smiles understandingly.
"You're a lucky gentleman, Kirkesh. I, however, would wager you are all of those things," he hypothesizes, "Best of wishes, you two. Should you ever be in need let me know, I'm all too happy to help folks from home. Right now though it seems I've some more people to familiarise with. Take care."[/sblock]
Yuriko (in Larakese, easily observable):

Diedrik smiles when addressed as an equal, and inclines his head respectfully, concious of the effort she took to do so.
"Thankyou, Yotsu-san. Considering me your equal honours me greatly," he says, and takes a more casual stance, "To be more exact, I'm here to share the wealth of experience from my travels. I offer a number of useful talents, but in the end I'm a jack of all trades and master of none. I imagine I'll be doing mostly sailor duties during the journey, and make myself useful with other various activities as they apply. Enough about me though, what brings you onto the Hesychia, and a potentially long, boring, and profitless journey?"[/sblock]

[SBLOCK]“Well that’s really a matter of luck, we arrived in Eldiz only this morning on a friends vessel and won tickets for this trip at a giveaway on the market no long thereafter. We were expecting to spend quite some time exploring the city, but it was just too good an opportunity to give up so here we are. You’re right though the chance to explore the unknown does hold a certain appeal...doesn’t it my dear one?” Zaeryn says looking at Valyssa, “So what is a Rowani gentleman such as youyself hoping to see and do on this voyage Diedrik?”[/SBLOCK]

The Thralg looks at the couple, obviously unused to so much attention from evryone.
[sblock=in high praetorian]
"I is called Gaius. Pleezed ta meet you." He answers neutrally. "Der sure is a lotta peoples on dis trip. Does anyone know were we're going and what it iz y'all need ta be protected from? 'cuz der is quit a lot of peoples, and I cannot be everywere at da same time." He says worriedly.
"Especially if da half cannot undrestan' wad I am saying."
"We defenitly need to fix dat."
He sighs.

Yuriko and Diedrik (easily observable):
[sblock=in Larakese]
*Yuriko held her arms at her sides casually, though with her open palms in view of Diedrik. She glanced over at the large Tralg only once during their conversation, but her body shifted away from him after she did so . . . though it was only a few inches, and Yuriko did not seem to notice that she did so.*

In regard to her reference to him, "It was as you requested Diedrik-san," again with some difficulty, "I shall do so until it is proven otherwise . . . that should not take long as you are on familiar ground and I . . . have not been off the ground until recently," Yuriko explained. The inference in her voice indicated that she expected to be noting Diedrik as a superior soon, not the other way around. "As for myself, I was training at the monastery until recently. I was instructed to come here, that a monk of the Order was requested . . . and here I am. Why a monk was requested . . . I am not entirely certain."[/sblock]Diedrik said:

[SBLOCK]“Magic is our gift my large friend,” Zaeryn says including Valyssa in his statement, “As for where we’re going, to a newly discovered arcane phenomenon called the Empyreal Shards, though I’m not sure exactly what we’re going to do there or what we’ll need to be protected from. Hmm, a common tongue would certainly be useful, and I’d be more than happy to teach you Eldish if you’d like to learn Gaius as everyone else seems to speak that.”[/SBLOCK]
