That's more intimate than she was expecting and she could probably stand to be more careful in the future!  Nonetheless, she signs "speak true" in the shared-with-Deptka one.

"You have superpowers!"

Deptka changes direction, stepping closer to Patik. Their already clipped movements become a lot faster.

"Understatement: I have security concerns."

"Statement:  That seems founded."

"Question: What are your goals?"

"Statement: I want immediately to not die of nature and not-immediately to orient to this place!  Hello!!  I have never been a place before this that was not my place; is this place used to receiving people from many places?"

Patik bounces lightly on their feet despite the heavy load of the pack. "You have superpowers! You're welcome to our food and our fire. How far away are you from, you look like us but like Depkta said everywhere has Overlap. If you just learned it you're really not from around here."

Depkta switches to the private language with Patik, expresses "Prefer keep food" and then cuts themself off before continuing. 

Simultaneously, they say in the clipped form of Overlap; "You're welcome to our food and our fire. Are you hungry?"

"Statement: I can also superpower milen hungry.  I will only die of nature if alone or with hurt people or very specific things occur."

"Statement: You can't DO that! That violates Conservation of Energy!"

"Question:  What?"

"It's a physics law that you break, if you really can replace food by milening from us. Which is impressive and we want to learn how. What else can you milen, can you show us something?"

"Statement: I concern that if no one here can superpower milen my body maybe be better than every body here.  If this is true I do not want to much change it."

"Wait- you can't switch back? I'd like to hear more about how this works!" 

"Statement: I can superpower milen things and then that is how I am.  I can change the way that I am in all the slow ways as well, by eating or exercising for physique or by waiting for hair to grow if I take a short way, but it is all copying from other nearby people.  If there is a way to be that no one has there is no way to get it except by - trying to get it however people might do that without superpower milen."

"Huh. That does limit a lot of what you could show off. Which is, before Depkta says it, suspicious that you can't show off more tests. You don't want to change your body. Did learning our language - which, before Depkta says it, yes I am taking as a given - erase yours? Oh oh oh, what are your languages like?"

Depkta signs in the private language, "Love," and then stops, self conscious, holding themself stiffly. 

In Cretari: "Then take this at face value."  (It rhymes.)  "Statement: I could willingly demonstrate with freckles or similar?  Also I think maybe I am much stronger and faster than every body here, I could show that.  - I am superpower milen your body heats frequently?  You can feel that I do not get cold despite no sleeves."  She offers an arm.

"I'll take it on trust, Depkta will keep being concerned about security. Do you want to pull more stuff from me? I assume you got the language. You might want more languages? You should take more Aeyeia, do you like to sing? You could milen energy, Depkta says I have a lot of that."

"I am more fit than you and have more energy but thank you!  I like to sing normally.  Is it smart to be more fluent in Overlap before another language?"

"I think it's Important* to be more fluent in every language!"

*A word here that combines the kind of obsession you need with a subject to do a couple Ph.Ds in it with the kind of cultural dedication you need to continue practicing a persecuted religion, and is only sometimes exaggerating. 

"But it will go faster the less I parallel."

"Fiiiiiine. Yes if you're just trying to get around Overlap is most of the way, you'll be able to talk with most everyone within a few thousand miles. Any other language has fewer users. If you want to talk to a certain kind of person though I can probably give suggestions for their language."

"Statement: I learn Overlap as fast as possible.  Then another, and then another!  Maybe the singing one first."

"Suggestion: breadth first. To orient, language is useful, self defense is useful, clients or patrons are useful, cartography is useful, trading is useful."
