Diplomatic Immunity: Three on the Boat

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"Oh, you'd like to learn Vaelysh? Well, sure, why not. I can do my best, but I'm nowhere near an expert. I only picked it up recently to surprise my friend from Amaranthia."[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK]“You know more than one Amaranthian? Well you’ve definitely led a much more widely travelled life than I, so I suppose it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise. Hmm, whether you’re an expert or not Catullus you know more than I, and it’s just not that easy to pick up a language on your own when you aren't exposed to it except for hearing brief fragments...especially when you have no idea of the content,” Tiberius replies with a grin.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"More than one?...Oh, you mean Kallithyia. Yes, I guess that does make it two. For some reason, I have trouble envisioning her back on Amaranthia. I think she says she can never return there, or some such."

"Sure, I'd be glad to teach you what little I know, but I just hope that my misunderstandings don't get amplified when I pass what I know over to you."[/SBLOCK]

Rystil
[SBLOCK]“I wonder why she says that...what could she have done that’s so heinous she couldn’t return...”

“Oh, well I’m sure Kallithyia can sort that out, assuming she’ll speak to me...perhaps I can also ask Autolycus, as I know he speaks Vaelysh. I just don’t want to trouble him with his duties aboard ship...I’m sure he has little enough free time as it is. Plus I don’t want Kallithyia thinking I’m stealing a companion away from her, no point creating more trouble without need is there.”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"Yes, I suppose not...Though perhaps if he gave you a few lessons it might help counteract any inaccuracies in my understanding of the language."[/SBLOCK]

Rystil
[SBLOCK]“Well I didn’t notice any inaccuracies when I was listening via magical translation yesterday, so your understanding can’t be all that bad. Though by the time I have the basics down, hopefully Kallithyia will actually speak with me and I can practice with her to iron out any inconsistencies...if not there’s always Autolycus.”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"Yes...that could probably work. So, shall we begin?"[/SBLOCK]

Rystil
[SBLOCK]“Whenever you’re ready Catullus...”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"Sure, let's get started then," Catullus replies, beginning to teach Tiberius the basics of Vaelysh.[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK]“So tell me more about this other Amaranthian friend of yours...is she much different to Kallithyia,” Tiberius interjects after he learns a few simple, but necessary, Vaelysh words.[/SBLOCK]
