I was wondering...how many other people here can speak other languages?

[But then, she paused and there was a slight jostling of the camera as she shook her head.  Sorting out her thoughts.]

No,  not speak.  That doesn't really help any, with everything always being translated for us.  More like...read.  I was wondering...what languages everyone here can read?  Since written words have never been translated.  Not since I've been here.

The ancient language of Celts and the Druids, especially. It's not spoken any longer, but there are signs of it everywhere.

Everywhere here? [One never knew unless one asked.] Or...do you mean back where you come from?

Back where I'm from. I haven't seen any sign of it here.

[unetrustworthy]

I see.

[She contemplated feeling a touch of sympathy for the other girl, before wondering if it was necessary. If the idea of not being able to speak or read in a familiar language even meant as much to her as it meant to Midii.]

Do you miss it?

[bostonhowler]

Not really? I still have some with me, even if I'm not sure how to translate it yet.

[And that was one of the reasons why Midii was doing what she was doing.]

I'm sorry.

[She knew the suffering of having the words but not knowing what they meant. It was the most annoying suffering she had ever experienced.]

Have you tried asking? Maybe someone else here would know.

Oh, I'll get around to translating it. I'd rather not burden someone with something so trifling.

[unetrustworthy]

Why would anyone think it was trifling?

[She literally doesn't get the concept; to her, the chance to share languages...to be able to learn something new...was always worth the time.]
