Jensal has a lot of work to do. Her house is going to collapse; nobody had better be inside when it does. She is briskly bundling adult miracles into groups who have at least one decent job between them, she is writing to agencies that handle adoption for the ultimate disposition of kids who don't get picked up because she's reasonably sure that they will not all get picked up, and when parents do drop by to collect their little ones she is signing papers for every set of them with slightly gritted teeth. Lots to do. Her hand is cramping from paperwork and she doesn't care.

"Yes, you just startled me!"
shrennaki
"Okay, great, awesome. Shrennaki! Fuck walking around obnoxiously in my natural form, I am going to get a shirt that says 'shrennaki' on it and wear it every day for the rest of my life!"
Finnah sporfles and changes to human shape, sitting on the ground with her hands over her mouth, to more fluently express her amusement. "Of course you are. Good luck finding a decent calligrapher to design it for you, the field's flooded with dragons, Mial."

"I will have great fun finding a decent calligrapher to design it for me. And if they all turn out to be lizards I will design it myself."
"Of course. What the hell, I'm taking this language too." She tilts her head and giggles. "Oh man, you probably want to startle Aurin yourself, don't you? I'm so tempted but I'll let you if you want."
shrennaki
"I am going to go startle Aurin immediately, but I'll take you with me if you want so you can watch him fall over."
"I wanna watch him fall over," agrees Finnah, grinning and holding out her hand for teleporting.
shrennaki
"Deal. Bye, Lazarus! Thank you so much!"
He teleports them to Aurin's doorstep without waiting for a response.

And here is Aurin's house, just beyond his doorstep, where it usually is. Neither Aurin nor Alys is immediately visible through the window.
Aurin gets the door. He's got a glass of carrot juice. "Hullo," he says. Sip.
"Hi, Aurin," says Finnah, grinning too wide.
"I don't like that smile," says Aurin. "Let me put my beverage down before I find out why I don't like that smile? Please?" He puts his carrot juice down.

Mial waits for Aurin to put down his beverage.
Then he says: "The miracle workers fixed my language problem for me. Now I speak Reform Draconic. Sirasiahr."
He will generously give Aurin a tick to adjust to that before he lays the other one on him.

"Huh. Well, good you managed it without wrecking the standard version, clever idea." Pause. "Finnah is still grinning."
Aurin does not fall to the ground, but this is because there is a doorframe in his way. "Ow! What! No! Ow!"
Finnah snickers.
"You did that on purpose!" complains Aurin. "You came here specifically to do that to me! What did I ever do to you?"

"I'm sorry. I'm probably not as sorry as I should be," Mial admits. He can't seem to stop grinning. "But you were going to encounter that word one way or another, because I'm going to be obnoxiously wearing it on a shirt for the foreseeable future as soon as I find a calligrapher who's willing to design the shirt. At least this way you heard it for the first time under controlled conditions, eh?"
"Thank you for letting me put down my carrot juice, otherwise we'd all three be wearing it," grumbles Aurin.
"You're going to put that on a shirt? And just, what, wear it everywhere?"
"You will cause - scoot accidents and mayhem," says Aurin. "I'm not even sure that the shirt is any better than traipsing around in natural form."
shrennaki
"I won't terrify any small children with the shirt. And scoot safety has improved by leaps and bounds since I started racing."
