ISOPIA
IN REALITY'S SHADOW THE BLIND SEE BEST


Her mind whirled.

Often the girl was misunderstood or misinterpreted, but not because she spoke differently per se. After all, unlike the dark creature before her, she spoke the common tongue of Helovia. The sounds that she made with her lips and tongue, they were at least familiar. It was simply that she combined them in ways that others didn't understand - she used words that they had never heard, or if they had, that they didn't know the meanings to. She placed those words into complicated sentences that others had a hard time following, and yet she spoke their language. The girl was envious of those around her who could speak in another tongue - but perhaps now she was learning a deeper truth.

Perhaps she knew a different language as well. The language of the learned.

Nodding her quad-horned skull, the girl agreed with the Warden's words. "In both directions. Sometimes I have a difficult time understanding others -" Because they don't say what they mean. They say something close to what they mean and think that that's good enough. "-and most often they have a difficult time understanding me." Curiously, she peered at Einarr, wondering what his response to her statement would be. At first she assumed he would just nod along, feeling the same way she did, until she realized: at least she could dumb things down. What could he do? Speak slower? Point and grunt? She considered the majority of Helovia fairly uneducated, but resorting to primal communication seemed low, even for them.

"How do you make them understand?"
