( Evie is looking far more at home. She is, carefully, turning the pages of a large tome. Beside her, there is a lit candle. While some might find the flickering light bothersome, Evie is used to it. Within the various pyramids and tombs of Egypt, she depended on torches for light. Going back to electricity - even if it's available (she hasn't checked) - doesn't seem necessary.

After looking over one page, she marks her place with a strip of leather and looks up. )

I am making progress with the native's language. I stumbled across a poem that seemed to outline their alphabet yesterday. ( The alphabet is the bare bones of any language. She won't be able to do much with it, but it's a start. ) I don't mind sharing the information with anyone who might be interested.

( She shifts and picks up a spare piece of paper, tucking it into her bag. )

Aside from that, I think it's time I started exploring other sectors. Perhaps on foot would be best?

Obviously. However, trying to work through all - or, rather, any - of them as the same language makes the process frustrating.

[Small shrug.]

Just thought that the information might help. It was given by the most prominent merchant as he was offering to translate - at a price. Even if the number is misleading, the awareness of the necessity to classify within the patterns is helpful.

Would you know how I could contact him? ( She doesn't mind haggling, though she's not sure what she could haggle with. Details. ) Thank you for the information. It would have taken me some time to find and classify each dialect.

( Though, honestly, she'll probably do that anyway. )

[Note what is missing from Damian's information? The offer to help out. Because it hasn't even occurred to him.]

His name is Lieuen, you can reach him through the network or, I suppose, by going to some of his business offices.

The offer is about a month old, but I am certain it would still be valid.

( She doesn't expect him or anyone else to help. )

I'll try to contact him one way or another, thank you, Mister...?

[Well, at least he's not disappointing her.]

Damian Wayne.

[Beat, and small nod.]

Good luck, in your interaction with him.
