"Does doing more magic make you more different, or do all the changes happen the first time you do it?"

"Not doing, learning."

Well that's concerning. "But now you can do more with no more changes?"

"Yes!"

"What changes can you make to yourself? Could you undo anything you did? Can you make changes to your mind, or just your body?"

"I can do most things and undo it all and I can do some mind things too."

"Wow! What mind things?"

"I remember and think very well! That is how I am fast at your language."

"You are fast! I speak two and a half languages, so I would know."

"I speak four! This one is five."

"Cool!" He wants to hear a few words in each of her languages, and take notes on their grammar. Chaenath wants to learn how people where she's from do transportation of people and goods and messages over long distances.

She can provide examples, several different translations of "My name is Kimbelcayra and I'm an automancer/antheomancer". "Flowers do messages! Stuff and people have to be moved in boats and things like that."

Derron wants to know if their boats look like this or if they're different and if so how. And how fast they go, and whether they can go far from land or have to stay near the coast.

"They're different but I don't have the words for how they are different. I don't know your words for how fast things are but I think slower than this. Some of them can go far from land if the alucine is big enough to have a whole ocean."

Speed and boat-part vocabulary!

Another attempt to solicit an explanation of alucines! What sizes do they come in, how do they connect/relate to each other, can a bunch of them collectively constitute a planet or can one of them have lots of planets in it or do both of those happen or neither.

"Some alucines are smaller than this boat and some have room for one town and some have room for many towns. This might be the biggest alucine I have ever heard of. They connect by portals. I do not understand 'planet'."

"The planet is the sphere that the continents and oceans are on. Pinehedge and Mechuria and the ocean are all on the planet. The sun and moon aren't on the planet, and it sounds like your alucines that you've been to aren't either."

"Sphere?"

Oh right they haven't done shapes yet. Rummage rummage here are variously shaped objects, a sphere is this and a cube is that and flat things can be circles or squares or triangles or whatever.

"We're on a sphere?!"

"Yes! You can fly, you see things come up over the horizon, yes?" (He points at the horizon when he uses the word.)

"That's not the edge of the alucine?"

He really really wants to visit her homeland and observe what the fuck for himself. "Nope! Keep going that way, eventually you get to Pinehedge. Keep going far enough, you get back to where you started."

"That's very strange!"
