"I bet we're mentioned in some Thindarin history books. Probably not very kindly."

"I'd expect so."

"if you have questions about things you can ask anyone except Matthew, don't bring it up with him unless actually necessary."

"Noted."

They go inside. The architecture is of course astonishing; a man who looks a great deal like Aricin rushes up to his sons, takes the Silmaril barehanded despite the sizzling sound that results, sets it on his lap and asks Cam "so what languages do they speak in Hell?"

"Do you want gloves!"

"It'll heal," he says distractedly. "I died of burns, first time round, they were much worse than I'd get even if I dropped it down my robes -"

Permalink

"Do you maybe want gloves anyway!"

Permalink

"Well apparently it's distracting from the languages so yes!"

Permalink

Gloves. "There are some human languages spoken, more in recent years, but where I landed the usual language is Lagalann and I'm like almost fluent in it now but I'm told my accent is awful."

"Tyelcormo can summon me people to practice, if we're not worried about ensuring daeva don't find out about us. Do daeva start out as adults not knowing any languages - that sounds hard -"

Permalink

"They do, yeah, if they're not ex humans, and it does seem hard - most demon languages seem like they'd be relatively easy to teach someone primarily by demo, simple grammar and so on."

Permalink

"Oooooooohh. - sorry, the only thing more interesting than new languages is new languages with different constraints on their development - what is Hell like -"

Permalink

"Tacky!"

Permalink

"Elves would not be happy demons!"

"Elf demons could go off somewhere and make pretty castles, but population centers bear the burden of a lot of conflicting design aesthetics held by people who can make whatever they want as soon as they think of it."

Permalink

"Say that in Lagalann."

"...hang on, I need a dictionary to say things that complicated -" He gets a dictionary and looks up enough words to triangulate 'aesthetics', then says it.

He echoes him delightedly. "Elf castles could go off somewhere and make pretty demons? Elf population centers could make whatever they want as soon as they think of it?"

Permalink

"...what do you want me to do with these sentences?"

Permalink

"Correct the syntax, if it's bad."

Permalink

"The syntax is fine."

Permalink

"You don't need to worry about my logic. The castles made by people who can make whatever they want? The people can make whatever they want? The Elves can make people?"

Permalink

"First one is an incomplete sentence. I think. Sometimes people who are better at Lagalann than me speak in incomplete sentences but I get laughed at if I try."

Permalink

"Say that in Lagalann?"
