[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.

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?
