Man, I do not need a collar! Not funny! That's like implying I have flees or something!

[But he's laughing, quietly, and there's a rustle of paper as he examines other things, forgetting the communicator for just a moment before blurting out.]

Merry Christmas, World's End! I hope everyone is doing alright today! Everyone doing okay now? There's

What happened, Aaron?

[wishgazer]

"Okami".

[timid_werewolf]

Okami...that's Japanese, isn't it?

[wishgazer]

It means "wolf". But in another context, it can also mean "great god".

[timid_werewolf]

Great god and wolf?

[wishgazer]

Yes. You can read the name any way you like, but it comes out as those two, or either one.

[timid_werewolf]

How does that happen? I mean, Sakura and...and the others were teaching me Japanese, before they left, but I didn't know a word could mean two different things!

[wishgazer]

It depends on how you write it usually, or the context in which you use the word.

[timid_werewolf]

Wow, that's really cool!

[wishgazer]

It is. But I can see where other people can have trouble learning the language.

[timid_werewolf]

It's...

A lot different than German or English, but I think that's why I like it!

[wishgazer]

Really. I remember learning English as difficult.

[timid_werewolf]

Really? Yeah, I won't say it was easy, but I was sort of taught both when I was little. Mixed them up a lot at times. They're second nature now, but I guess learning any language you aren't used to would be difficult, wouldn't it?

[wishgazer]

My only chance was during school. [He didn't have direct experience though, the damn leech.] And even then it wasn't too easy.

[timid_werewolf]

I can't imagine it ever being easy, but at least you know it now, right?

[wishgazer]

Enough, yes.
