"Will Afen be back tomorrow?"

"I don't think so, no. By tomorrow I'll have the language better."

"...why isn't he coming back?"

Shrug. "Afen Kisantami is Afen Kisantami."

"That's not very helpful."

"I don't have the words - he is a person who makes choices fast without much thinking, and then sticks with them."

"What, did he decide he didn't like me?"

"No he likes you great he didn't like the other people here to arrange you a place to stay and a tour and things."

"I am sure those people are great but they might be easier to replace."

"He doesn't like most people. Would no like the ones who replaced them any better."

Sigh. "Well, you're doing pretty good."

"Sorry." Sigh. 

She shrugs. She wants the Anitami alphabet.

He can do that!

She studies diligently.

His accent gets less bad! 

She can understand around the accent, it's the vocabulary.

He's slower than Afen at vocabulary, no way around it. Remarkably fast if one hasn't met Afen, but much slower than Afen. 

"Would Afen have to actually talk to the inn people to talk to me?"

" - if people could call your room all the people would do that because they would be so yay aliens and there are so many of them."

"...well, I don't speak Anitami yet, so how about just him."

Sigh. "I can ask."

"Thanks."

"Maybe help if I say a point problem."

"...what?"
