"I can show you but it's - not nice like the cantrip, it's really messy, it took me most of a year and it's complicated -"

"I don't think I'd understand a complicated spell yet."

Nod nod. "I can show you another cantrip? The one that does the illusion letters?"

"Sure."

Cantrip! - "if you have two hundred countries do you have that many languages?"

"More, but about that many commonly spoken."

"Wow."

Giggle. "You're very quick with this one, it's really impressive."

"I really really like languages. I - I need to think. I am sad because I have not rescued Bella and I guess maybe I am a little homesick and I don't know what was wrong wth my spell and I want to learn all the languages but what if Bella is in a bad afterlife and also this world needs magic but maybe you can just teach them and that is just. A lot of things. I thought I was going to get Bella and then I would not have to worry about all of these things because she would fix them."

"It's really complicated. I'm sorry."

"Maybe just one language."

"You're already well on your way in this one."

"I meant aside from this one. One more language."

"I can't help you with that but lots of blues are multilingual."

"Those are the people who will come when you tell them I'm here?"

"Blues run the government. They have yellow assistants and for aliens will probably bring by greens who want to learn about you too."

"Are they nice?"

"I've never actually met a blue before."

"- really?"

"...yeah, they don't really hang out any of the places I go."

"So you don't know if they are nice?"

"Yeah. I know some things about what politics the famous ones support but not if they're nice people."

"Hmmph." Cling.

Snuggle. "Is that really surprising?"

"A bit. Also I think I'm kind of bad at working with people who are terrible."
