"Yes, you should have many and bring much joy to the world!"

It clicks that Fran would fit in so well in this world. Auria doesn't dwell on when she will ever see her again. Or the rest of her family and friends. Sigh. It is overall a miracle they landed here, she dwell on that. "You many babies?"

"I many babies. With other uncles and aunts, yes. We all live together so the babies have enough carers always."

"That is great."

Esdras stumbles half-awake and blinks at the weirdly dressed (?) person (?). "Are you still awake?" He asks Auria in their language. "Hello?" He greets in their language.

The woman waves back at Esdras. "Hello! I'm here, so babies always have mom around. "

Esdras nods. "Thank you." And to Auria. "You really should get some rest."

Sigh. "Just five more minutes?"

"No."

"No? Really?"

Sigh. She stands up, and hands over her daughter.

Esdras quietly takes the baby. "God, she has your stubbornness for staying awake."

"I know, have fun taking care of her, and I will be mad if you fall asleep before her. I will know."

Of course, all of this was done in their language. So she turns and says. "I sleep now." Without the baby she actually lets some of her tiredness show.

Clarissa smiles at Auria. "You sleep well!", she says, before looking to everyone else. "You care for baby?", she asks.

Yeah, Auria will just... act like she doesn't exist and has to deal with reality for a bit.

"I care for baby. I uncle." Pause. "My word... my name is Esdras."

"Esdras, I'm so happy you're here! I'm happy the babies have lots of people for them." She nods at Esdras, and brings the other baby into the classroom. She thinks it'd make sense to have them both be there while the adults are learning her language.

Esdras mostly assumes this is good, so the parents don't wake up. Does this means more language lessons?

Yes, that's what it means! The classes go a bit deeper on grammar; plurals, and also verb conjugation, and a few adjectives. Thomassia has a system where the grammar is kept very separate from nouns, verbs and adjectives, so everything is very consistent, and it makes everything more distinct and unambiguous. It's quite reassuring how every word stands by itself, so to speak. There's a rhythm to the teaching; it makes it very easy to remember the grammar, and makes the thomassian feel really natural and familiar.
