Tobais: The heck was that about?
Malcolm: I haven't the foggiest...
Yeah, that was about it, she may have spent 2 minutes in there, tops.
And that was a good conversation, just the sort of thing she might have butted into without giving it a 2nd thought.... or even a 1st one. However-
She can't speak any of the local languages yet, not with any proficiency. Her translation spells last for a good many hours, but not all day long... and when using it she can't work on picking up a new language.
And that wasn't really intended for much contact. I just wanted to someone to glimpse the mousey and skittish little Phaing before she went all Jekyll & Hyde w/o any warning.
PTSD can be a wicked disadvantage.
And I finally figured out how to make the pics work, Photobucket is a rotten source-point, apparently.
Now if I could make the spoiler function work.... meh.
