I miss home. I know that's normal, I know - I know there's nothing that can be done about it. I try to keep that in mind so it won't get to me so much. Everyone is so nice and helpful, even with everything going on. I'm very thankful, and - I would like to think I have made some friends.

[There's a pause, and he sighs softly. He suddenly isn't sure why he decided to start this feed.]

It's weird... one of the things I miss the most is hearing my language. [a little exhale, followed by a contradictory smile.] I wasn't used to speaking English for so long until I came here.

... Are all of you from English-speaking countries?

I speak Common, not English.

[The pronunciation of some of the words, and a handful of the words themselves are entirely different.]

Nerakese is my normal tongue.

[perdre]

[Oh. That's. Hi.

Give Peter a moment.]

Nerakese?

[governorkang]

[Yep, he's gotten used to that reaction. And, in Nerakese:]

We only use Common when dealing with other races. Not many humans know how to speak Nerakese.

[It's harsh-sounding, making his accent, which is somewhat similar to eastern european, even more obvious. He translates it to Common as well, and continues.]

I also speak a fair bit of Dwarven.

[perdre]

[he listens to every word, always interested in unknown languages.]

Is that... related to dwarves?

[governorkang]

It's their language, yes.

[perdre]

[with a little exhale,] Sounds like something from a fantasy book.

[If that's offensive, he doesn't seem to realize it.]

[governorkang]

[Well, he's not wrong.]

Fantasy on your world is reality on mine.

[perdre]

[Pause.]

I wonder if it's the other way around, too.

[That would be an interesting symmetry.]
