[You may be pleased to know, certain residents of Keelai, that Aya had no intentions of offering another long-winded highly detailed technical analysis of...whatever it is she's up to at the moment. In fact, her latest message is surprisingly simple:]
It has been brought to my attention that my choice of vocabulary and diction is considered...unnecessarily formal by some.
[To put it mildly.]
I have made several attempts to alter my speech patterns, but have realized that I still lack a more concise understanding of what precisely entails formal versus familiar speech. Therefore, I am seeking any an all information regarding more colloquial expressions or terms that may be used in everyday conversation, which I will do my best to learn and subsequently employ accordingly.
Thank you.

[Her eyes narrow, however, when the following message is delivered. Anger was not quite an accurate assessment of her emotions at that particular moment...but annoyance wouldn't have been a stretch.]
You did not follow through with your agreement to meet with me last month, and have since done nothing to rectify this error.
I wish to know why.

I did not expect there to be a single answer. If I had, I would have gone straight to those I am most familiar with. But instead, I choose to ask the Network as a collective group.
It is not so much a bother as another learning opportunity. I have already thought about it, and can assure you that I am both content in my current status as well as open to the possibility of further growth.

Good. Good call. Then I should let you know that it might be making people a little self-conscious and watching what we're saying - I know I definitely am - and leave you to your research?
And that sounds good, very good.

And non-judgmental is awesome. For the record.

If anything, the individuals who have responded to me have been most helpful.

You doing okay, generally?

The resources allotted to me by access to multiple labs has provided most useful. Or, I suppose...in more colloquial terms...they're very convenient.
[The contraction still felt strange on her construct tongue, but she seemed proud of herself for even making the attempt. Demonstrating she was paying attention.]

Just right. Working on anything interesting?

They have provided an acceptable way of occupying my time in between missions.

And, man, now I wish there were movie theaters here so I could take you to one, that'd help a lot with the speech thing, too. Don't know if the kedan plays are interesting. [ Thoughtful. ] I'll check that out, and let you know, if you're interested?
