She nods and adjusts the colorful braided bracelet on her wrist. She points to the red figures and repeats "person", and the green "nende", then waves at all of them "human?"

Skei draws a little oval, and an arrow from it with a simple pattern of five symbols in a line, branching into two. She points to the oval, then to the symbols, and gives him an inquisitive look.

"Person." Izakin says waving at all of them. "Human" He says to the red figures. "Human?" He asks about the green figure.

Izakin doesn't understand the symbol, he just looks at her confused.

She shrugs, not clear enough on what the different words mean to know which apply to both of them. She frowns at his confusion, then fishes around in her bag until she finds a small envelope. She taps a small brown seed out of the envelope and offers it to Izakin, holding it out to drop into his hand.

Izakin accepts with a smile (well, he does smile all the time already).

And now he has a seed and all should be obvious?

Well, Izakin looks at the seed up close and then mimics eating it. Is that what should've been obvious?

...

No. What.

She mimes touching something with her hand and thinking?

Izakin says a word that sounds like an exclamation of understanding it.

He takes the paper and draws two simple flowers of different colors. He then points the seed at the first flower. Then he holds the seed and pretends to concentrate hard and says the word "Synth", then he points the seed at the second flower.

She nods emphatically. "Synth! Izakin synth? Izakin synth- nn..." she makes a gesture with her hand, like touching the seed again, then points to the symbols on the page again and looks inquisitive.

"Izakin synth!" He says agreable, but he still looks confused at the symbols.

Well, at least he knows. She starts to say something, then stops, looking frustrated, and mimes speaking.

Izakin thinks for a moment and he mimes walking, he takes the paper again and draws a cluster of houses, he points at the houses and then at distance.

She looks at the drawing in apparent confusion, and shakes her head. She says "Person, human, Izakin...", then continues moving her mouth and looks expectantly at him.

"Speak." Izakin says pointing at his mouth and then miming the act of speaking, "speak," he says again. "Walk." Izakin mimes walking. "Town." He points at distance. "Kiskei Izakin walk town human speak Kyeskei?"

She looks back at the clearing near where she fell, then nods, "Walk 'town'." She starts walking in the direction he pointed.

"Speak?" She nods for a longer time, then looks at him.

"Speak." Izakin nods along, then frowns for a moment.

Maybe they should work on vocabulary. "Right." He raises his right hand and points right. Then repeats the same thing to left, and the directions, front, back, up and down. Waiting to see if she is understanding.

Oh okay, she can learn those words too. She copies the words for directions, and walks backwards a bit to check that they are relative to which way she's facing.

Then she nods, and shakes her head, and says "Speak?"

"Speak?"

"Person, human, walk, right, left, up, down- speak," she nods and gestures at her face, then shakes her head and gestures at it again.

"Speak." Izakin repeats agreeable. "Word? Human. Word. Walk. Word. Right. Word...?"

"Word! Word-" she nods, gesturing to the movement as she makes it, and looks hopefully at him.

"Yes. Word." Izakin nods. "No." Izakin shakes his head.

Good. She repeats these. "Word 'town'?" She points to a distance somewhere to their left, "Town?"

"No town." Izakin says shaking his head, then he points at the correct direction. "Yes town."

Probably not enough context to explain the word. She shrugs and keeps walking. "Word, Kyeskei speak Kyeskei, Izakin speak Izakin?"
