"Not as far as I know. The planet, yes, but not the world as a whole. How did yours get one?"

"Draconic," says Kaylo. "It's a language, basically. It does that."

"Does being 'basically' a language imply that there is some way in which it isn't?"

"It is a language, it just doesn't have all the - dependence on its speakers that other languages do. It will produce words without help. If you show me a selection of magical artifacts from your world that no dragon has ever seen before, I will have words for them, and I will be able to go home and talk about them to other dragons using those words, and those other dragons will have some idea of what I am referring to."

"That sounds... useful," he says thoughtfully.

"So that's where 'Elcenia' came from. Dragons wanted to talk about our world as opposed to others, and the name was there," shrugs Kaylo. "Most other languages in the world have obvious etymological relationships to it for their own words for the world."

"Hmm. I wonder if one of our more well-travelled species of demon might have done something similar," he says.

"Couldn't tell you. I'd need more to go on than having met you to see if Draconic has the information tucked away in it for your world too."

"I wouldn't expect you to. I can look up the likely sources myself if I become sufficiently curious."

Kaylo nods. "I wonder if this place can translate Draconic," he says idly. "Does this sentence make sense to you?"

"Yes. Do other magical translators usually fail on that language?"

"Like you didn't even cast anything," says Kaylo. "You can be under a sophisticated enough spell that you can listen to crystals in Alteisec and write a letter in Kandaph and speak Sengo and dance Flytwirl and figure out your taxes in Verian glyphs all at the same time and Draconic would be so much nonsense."

Giles shrugs. "Milliways."

"Apparently!" says Kaylo. "Whatever, your language is interesting, I'll go on speaking it."

"Interesting how?"

"Bigger vocabulary than most. Good aesthetics. I never spoke it before."

He grins. "I am unjustifiably proud."

Kaylo laughs.
