Daskal turns back to Maenik and clasps his hands. "Maenik, pav floating do pi?"

Hmm, she's heard three words that might be negations now the very first one seemed like it might be an objection that was Kobi maybe? She wasn't taking notes at the very beginning because she wasn't expecting to do quite this much field linguistics at the start, Kaba was used as a disagreement perhaps and Karum was used similarly. Kobi might be the best word for refusing a request. It might also convey offense but it should be possible to clarify if there's too much strength to it.

"Kobi." She picks up a stone from the ground and floats it in the air for a few seconds. "Floating Maenik eg." She repeats her demonstration of stepping into midair "Floating pi pi." "Kobi floating pi do." She offers the stone to the child. "Give pi do þomegi. Gu banak molh Give?"

He looks uncertain, bites his lip, and takes the rock.

"Sarav? Sarav do þomegi a pi."

He hands the rock to Genilha. "Sarav pi þomegi a Genilha."

"Gu ... gu kobi?"

"Sarav do þomegi a Genilha," she confirms.

The question is one she doesn't understand. Maybe it's a question about why?

"Jump do þomegi." "Kobi Jump do eg." She points at the nearest house.

Daskal turns to Genilha in confusion.

Genilha thinks for a moment.

"Jump pi eg," he agrees, lifting the stone up above his head. "Ka-jump pi eg," he says, pointing at the fence. He walks over and wrestles with the fence, failing to lift it. "Ka-jump pi eg," he repeats.

"Daskal, gu jump do þomegi?"

He flaps his hand, and lifts another small stone demonstratively. "Jump."

"Gu jump do pi?" Genilha continues.

Daskal wraps his arms around Genilha's legs and heaves. Genilha doesn't move.

"Ka-jum," Daskal replies.

"Floating Maenik þomegi. Ka-floating Maenik Daskal."

He pauses and looks to her for confirmation.

"Ka-floating Maenik Daskal," she confirms.

Daskal slumps, the very picture of despondency.

Then he perks up, runs around to the fence, climbs on top of one of the posts and then scrambles up Genilha's back, saying something long and complicated.

"Kamo, Daskal," he replies, staggering but remaining upright.

Kids being happy and doing kid things is always nice to see. She smiles. 

Genilha seems busy so she turns to Penþa. Pav seems to maybe be a word for asking permission. Gu seemed to be used for that earlier but it seems less specific. She picks up another rock from the ground and holds it out. "Penþa, pav sarav pi ga a do?"

They blink and set their string aside. While everyone has been talking, it has transformed into a compact hand-woven net, covered with several different kinds of knots.

"Sarav," they agree, reaching out to take the rock.

Is that perhaps a woven language? It's probably just an art project weaving for artistic purposes is statistically much more common but she still smiles at the notion that she's hit on the rarer case. She hands over the stone.

Is it time to ask the important question? Is Penþa the right person to ask? She hasn't really formed strong opinions about anyone she's met but she thinks she'll wait for Ðani. She seems to be most comfortable around Maenik of everyone she's met.

With that decided is there a good way to solicit vocabulary about time and prerequisites while she waits?

She'll go back to her illusion and make an image of a figure picking one of the stalks from the ground.

"Harvest Krae ga. Gu banak molh harvest?"

"Aðorak," Penþa responds. "Aðorak Krae Kalhornaðor. Aðorak Krae eg."

Daskal rests his chin on Genilha's head for a moment, before pouting and climbing down.

He sits on the fence and watches Maenik intently.

"Aðorak Krae eg," she repeats. Then she has Krae do a rough approximation of making the rolls they were eating earlier. The figure rolls out dough and wraps it around some stalks and vegetables before putting it over the fire.

"Cooks Krae eg." Krae takes the roll off the fire and bites into it. "Omat Krae eg. Gu banak molh cooks?"

"Sodrek," Penþa supplies, getting a little more into the swing of things. "Aðorak Krae eg. Sodrek Krae eg. Aðorak gas sodrek gas omat Krae eg."

Ðani comes around the corner of one of the houses closest to the beach, an older woman holding onto her arm for balance. They slowly make their way towards the impromptu language-learning gathering.

"Aðorak gas sodrek gas omat Krae eg." She confirms. That might also answer her next question.

She turns towards Ðani and the older person and waits for them to arrive.

As they approach, Ðani's companion peers closely at Maenik's illusion.

Ðani waves hi. Penþa and Genilha click.

She points at Maenik. "Banak Maenik as, regumovavan" she comments to her companion. Then she looks at Maenik and points at her companion. "Oskeli gas Bardamma. Banak Oskeli gas Bardamma asasan."

Her companion makes a complicated, fond-sounding utterance.
