It's a pretty good song.

powerispain

It really is.

"That one's my favorite," she says when she's done.

first-and-final

"It's nice."

powerispain

"Yeah. There's some other ones that I like nearly as well, but--not in Genoshan."

first-and-final

"And I probably can't learn a whole extra language at this speed."

powerispain

"Yeah, this is crazy impressive as-is."

first-and-final

Beam.

powerispain

Eeee so pretty.

first-and-final

powerispain

Aaaaaah so pretty.

"So, at risk of getting sidetracked and possibly kicked out of the restaurant again, more language lesson?"

first-and-final

"Absolutely!"

powerispain

first-and-final

Languages, whee!

powerispain

Also it's fucking gorgeous, so there's that.

first-and-final

Aww. He is delighted that she likes it so much.

powerispain

"It's got some of my favorite aesthetic traits from two of the languages I already know, dolled up with some extra pretty!"

first-and-final

Giggle.

powerispain

"Granted that they're related languages. Anyway, more vocabulary?"

first-and-final

More vocabulary!!

powerispain

Ooh, vocabulary!

This time she does notice when they finish their food.

first-and-final

"We could continue vocabulary lessons elsewhere," says Milan. "Or I could be responsible and go home, I suppose."

powerispain

"We could compromise and continue the language lessons in a University garden?"

first-and-final

"Sure!"

So she flies them back to campus. It's getting dark, but there's enough artificial lighting that this doesn't make it a worse look at the city, just a different one.
