[When the feed turns on, Leia's sitting up straight, hands folded on her lap, legs tucked together, chin up, and dressed neatly in an Earthy ensemble that looks a little out of the late 70s with its high collar and plain fit. I apologize for my late introduction, but I am Senator Leia Organa of the planet Alderaan and ambassador to the Imperial

I could have offered my assistance.

Re: permavoice, permaencrypted;

[willkissawookie]

You imply that you will no longer be offering that assistance.

It would be very appreciated, Mr. Eames. [Even more formal than before.]

[subconman]

If no one has beaten me to it, darling, I would gladly teach you the ins and outs of this society.

[willkissawookie]

No one has beaten you to it and I would gladly accept your assistance.

[subconman]

Is there anything in particular you would like to start with?

[ trying...not to be awkward... ]

[willkissawookie]

Perhaps some of the idioms and sayings. 'Wookiee" means nothing to anyone, it seems.

[subconman]

Most likely because most people here are not familiar with Wookies. Earth is a rather limited planet, or so I've come to realize.

What sort of idioms and saying are you interested in?

[willkissawookie]

Pulling someone's leg, shakes of lamb's tail, a hot minute.

[subconman]

To define them each in turn, pulling someone's leg means to joke with them, and each other last two mean to do something quickly. As quick as a shake of a lamb's tail, for example.

[ pause. ]

You have seen a lamb before?

[willkissawookie]

I don't think I have. I've never heard of such a thing.

[subconman]

Oh Leia. We'll have to get you to a petting zoo immediately.

[willkissawookie]

[Eames, you know how to talk in her language.] Immediately. Is it of that much importance?

[subconman]

[ lmofasjgla ]

Dire importance.

[willkissawookie]

[That makes her chuckle quietly.] How long will you be gracing us with your presence in the City, Mr. Eames?

[subconman]

I believe I shall be here a while longer, Miss Organa.

[willkissawookie]

Then the petting zoo is certainly a possibility.
