[The PDA hits the ground and switches on, bounces, arcs in the air and lands. Positioned awkwardly to one side of the screen is a tree. In it is a pale, glowing, elf-like girl peering down at the PDA, arm out stretched and dangling awkwardly from a branch as if she tried to catch it

[He grins a bit.]

You having fun out there, Yorda?

[She manages to recognize a bit of what Lavi says! Whatever Yorda's faults, she can retain information like a little glowing sponge.]

Fun, se ya.

...Yes.

[She picks up a brilliant red leaf that hadn't been blown away. Beaming, she holds it up.]

Akas sil adara Lavi.

[She indicates her own hair when she says 'adara'.]

[He glances at the leaf and grins.]

Red. [Pointing at his hair.] That's what color it is.

[shroud_of_gray]

Red.

Akas si 'Red'. Adaras ni Lavi sil da 'red'. Kamas sil da 'red'.

'Red' sil da... 'kol-lor'?

[Whoa, too much different language there. He tries to piece together what she means.]

Yeah, it's a color. [Points at the green of his eye.] Green.

Green...

[She holds up a blade of grass to make sure she's understanding correctly.]

Green, se ya?

[looseleafbook]

[Bigger smile.] That's right.

Green grass.

[shroud_of_gray]

Grass...?

Grass... is green.

Eye Lavi is ...green.

Se ya?

[She pauses and looks back expectantly. Is she doing the English good?]

[looseleafbook]

Right.

[Grins, very well indeed. He just wishes that he could somehow teach her more though she is learning quicker than he thought.]

Any other colors?

video;

[shroud_of_gray]

Colour...

Oth-ar colour...

[She holds up a yellow leaf.]

Ika?

[And then points the comm to the clear, blue sky.]

Amaka?

[looseleafbook]

Yellow. [He glances up at his own blue sky.] Blue.

[Points at the leaf.] Leaf. [Then up.] Sky.

Re: video;

[shroud_of_gray]

Amaka is blue. Ika is yellow.

Sky is blue. Leaf is yellow.

Lavi is having hair red and eye green.

[Her annunciation is careful, though still heavily accented. Nonetheless she's making progress, and she beams at Lavi hopefully.]

[looseleafbook]

'Lavi "has" red hair and green eyes.'

[He's proud of her progress! But he can't help but work on her grammar when it comes up.]

Re: video;

[shroud_of_gray]

Has...

...Yorda has leaf?

[Is she using that right? She hopes so.]

[looseleafbook]

"A leaf", you have a leaf. [Grins.] Just one. [Holds up a finger to represent the number.] More than that and it would be "leaves".
