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?

[perdre]

[Well. There's a question he wasn't expecting.]

It's... the language I'm using right now. Are you using a translator?

[freewoman]

Aye. I speak the Old Tongue.

[perdre]

I don't think I know which one that is. [out of the ones he can think of, anyway.]

[freewoman]

It's a language my people speak, old. From the First Men.

[perdre]

You're making me wish I had paid more attention to History class.

[freewoman]

It's not likely you're from my home, boy.

[perdre]

[entirely possible.]

... It's Peter.

[freewoman]

You'd know if you were.

[Don't let her know you don't like being called that. She won't stop.]

[perdre]

Guess I would. [this isn't awkward at all.] What's your name?

[freewoman]

[This is pretty par for the course for her.]

Ygritte.

[perdre]

Ygritte. [a beat.] Nice to meet you, Ygritte. I'm Peter.

[freewoman]

Y'said that already, Peter.

So did you learn about them other languages?

[perdre]

Oh. [Introductions everywhere. A boy gets confused! Or something. Anyway-]

I - a little? Not a lot. I mean - not enough to be fluent.
