Book 29

[catboi_magey]

*Leon's got a hat on, mostly to cover his ears so he won't draw too much attention as he walks about the Victory Square. He's just practicing his Russian, having found it's easier to read and write but still tricky to speak*

Hey, squirt. [Because Toph is so much bigger than you.] Learning the local language?

[catboi_magey]

*scowl- he gets enough nicknames from Blaine, he doesn't need it from her too*

It's Leon. But yeah, trying to get better at speaking it, anyway.

[melonlordpwns]

[It could be worse.]

You'd think if the Gate was gonna teach us languages, it would've picked the one people actually speak around here.

[catboi_magey]

Right? It would have made better sense.

[melonlordpwns]

But I guess that'd just be too convenient.

[catboi_magey]

And the government forbid anything was made convenient for us!

[melonlordpwns]

I don't think it had anything to do with this one.

[catboi_magey]

Well yeah, but it's not like they've been very helpful either, have they?

[melonlordpwns]

No, but assigning blame where it's due, it's not their fault I magically learned English instead.

[catboi_magey]

*He sighs* No, I guess not.

[melonlordpwns]

So, how well do you know the local language anyway?

[catboi_magey]

Not nearly as well as I thought I did. Reading it is a lot different than speaking. I can get the gist of what's said, which I guess is better than nothing.

[melonlordpwns]

It's the important part, right?

[catboi_magey]

I guess. It's enough to figure when they're talking about you at least.

[melonlordpwns]

You figure out any good insults yet?

[catboi_magey]

....not particularly.
