[Koz can't do much with the storm going on so he's going to make some conversation with the people at large here.]

While I'm aware that english, or at least a variation on it, is the language most used here I'm curious what other ones people know or are more comfortable with at the very least. I'm familiar with quite a few so if there's one you'd prefer speaking in I'm more than willing to oblige.

A language barrier shouldn't be a reason for us to be unable to work together and if anyone wishes to learn a language I'm more than willing to teach.

[There's a pause.]

I'm also wondering if anyone skilled with a sword could use a sparring partner, I seem to be short one.

[A curious werewolf has been folllowing along with one of those other conversations Koz has been having, and he is intrigued.]

Your pardon, I'm sorry to intrude. My name is Randolph Lyall. I couldn't help but notice you said you spoke animal languages.

I should be free most late afternoons and evenings, any earlier and I'm likely to be busy building or otherwise working. Unless you're up before dawn of course but then I'll likely try to convince you to stay and work.

[He's only half joking about that actually.]

I can get most anywhere within either city relatively quickly if you'd rather I come to you.

[Hey that's fine.]

All of them, yes.

Mother Nature!
She is guardian of earth's flora, fauna, and seasons.

All of my friends at home were wild animals.

I maintain the fauna, the seasons are taken care of by their respective spirits and the flora generally sort themselves out one way or another as the planet and others cultivate it.

You're not at home and these ones aren't used to you.
Spirit or not they're perfectly capable of hurting you.
If you piss them off I don't want to hear you whine about it because I warned you not to.

Mother Nature is at the top of the nature spirit hierarchy.
Then are the seasonal shepherds.
She is like our general.
We are her foot-soldiers for maintaining the balance.
At least that's what I think.

I don't whine about dumb things like little injuries.

There is no Mother Nature.
There is the Tsar, myself and the seasons.

You're whining about me advising you not to bother velociraptors.

Tsar?? Like MiM?
Him and Mama Sera are the strongest spirits at home.
Well there is also Father Time but I don't know much about him.

Is it whining??
Sorry.

Sera?

Mama Seraphina?

She should not have stolen that name.

She didn't steal anything!
That's her name.

The only Seraphina from the Golden Age was lost before it fell.
I was there.

Then you must be from somewhere different.
Because Mother Nature has been around since as long as anyone can remember!
And it's always been Mama Seraphina.

I'm done with you.
Do not refer to that woman by that name in my presence.

Ah, I fear I cannot stay for long, if I come in the morning. I have gainful employment here, to support myself and my brother, and I will have to arrive by a certain hour of the morning or else receive no wages for that day.

[And he sounds weirdly proud of that. Thor, prince of Asgard, has never worked a day in his life. This is a novel and interesting experience. So far, anyway.]

But the late afternoon and evening, that would work very well. I will gladly come to you-- I travel faster than most, myself, as I can fly.

All of them. Are these languages teachable, as well, or is that a magical gift that allows you to speak to animals?

[There's definite interest, there, and rather than being mysterious about it, Lyall explains right away.]

I ask because I transform into a wolf, but the only "language" I have with other wolves-- or canines of any kind, for that matter-- is simple body language and what I can convey through a canine vocal range. If there is an actual language to it, I may well be speaking gibberish.

Mn, I'm around the woods between the two cities. Look for either the campfire or the clearing where we'll be working on some walls.

[He chuckles]

I can fly as well.

Well, so long as they're animals native to Earth anyway. it's both magical and... not. If you think it's possible then it is and I can teach you.

[Yep. That's how the magic he knows works.]

There are different dialects, but I can certainly teach you wolf.

I don't know if I understood you correctly
You are asking what I said to him??
If so
I just told him my spirit mother's name
And he got really mad ?
But I'm not going to call her something else
Since that is her name
Either Mother Nature, Mama Seraphina, or Mama Sera
Anything else is disrespectful!!!

Yes, that is what I am ask!nng. Th)s dedvisce i6 dif4rent fr0m min3e. I hav3 notl seeen himn so upksit sinCe I m3tt him.

I am sorry tha@t you diid nnot g3t alongk.

I am used to people not liking me too much!
So that's okay.
But to call Mama Seraphina a thief
That is not okay.

I'm familiar with all known human languages, dead or otherwise, and animal ones! Well, at least current animal ones. I'm afraid I can't speak something like, say, dinosaur.

I don't know you already have filled the position of a sparring partner, but I'm definitely interested! Unfortunately, I'm lacking my swords so I may need to borrow one from you or someone else.

Ah, I'm glad of that. I'll have someone who can translate when needed.

[Yeah, he does this thing where he turns in to animals.]

I'm afraid I only have the one, and I don't normally lend it out.
