Hmm.

There is, on the whole, much less buzzing in the back of my mind today. The Askani are still sounding a little muffled, but I think they're finally unscrambling themselves. I got a rather extensive lecture from one of the Clan's chief physicians about head injuries and why I should concentrate on avoiding them if I wanted to shia'haseena luchellah mi'hannovoy in future.

Speaking of which, I've decided I may start halloran m'hvesta siah uannahoil on a regular basis. They approve wholeheartedly. Anyone want to join me? I mean, not that I have an exhibitionist streak or anything.

Sandhastre neret vallicyaha, by the way? I'm still not cleared for anything strenuous, which is a shame, but there's nothing wrong with my imagination.

You really need to give us more vocab in the weekly groups, man, I didn't quite catch all of that. :)

~More teasing of the maker? I understand and approve. And want more slang because when I read this back it does not sound like me at all.

While I have your attention: knock knock.~

Be happy, you made her giggle. Do you have any idea how alarming it is to have a hundred and twelve year old unborn dead omega-level psi from the future giggling in your head like she's a schoolgirl?

I do usually. Figured I'd give you the option in case you wanted a turn. :) I'm on my way, because I bet I can be more distracting than the journals.

I beg to differ. As I told you, they're real, their language is real, and an increasing number of people around here speak it. Some with more fluency than others.

And some twins speak their own language too, it's called glossalia. And they don't get it from the future or from weird little psychic ghosts. It's usually a sign of something in the language centers of the brain firing all weird.
