[Sorry, Jason, for the annoying asshole elf you got stuck with-- Actually, I'm not sorry at all, HAHA.]
[Chibi is already settling into the little room: laying out his cloak on the dirt floor, perching himself upon it with a languid stretch. A few tired joints pop aloud with the movement. It feels nice to have a roof for once, especially with rain threatening to start up again outside; a hot bath might be nice, he thinks, but an impromptu cold dousing isn't the most fun for anyone.]
[He hadn't been trying to rile the young man up, per se, but he wants to quip that he's done a pretty good job anyway.]
But you never pronounced it for me, there's the thing. My language is not your language, and my world is not your world... Or any of the seemingly millions of permutations of worlds over which you human types seem to preside. [What a pain in the ass, really. Ask 'does anyone speak English,' and you get tens of people clamoring to tell you all about their Earth languages, but not a single Eliatrope here. There are dragons, but it isn't the same, okay!!] So how about this: If you tell me how it's pronounced, I'll make an effort not to mangle it further, yes?
