"Cool," Maegi responded, giving Shivali a smile in turn. At least she knew yes. . .that was easy enough. Along with a smattering of other words. But--how would she teach the woman without knowing Inuttut herself? After all, Miraak had known both the common tongue and Daedric, and was able to make those connections for her.

Maegi frowned, thinking maybe she had gotten herself in over her head. Perhaps this job was better suited to Kove.

Nevertheless, the girl was not a quitter, and she certainly intended to at least try to live up to her word. Firming her lips stubbornly, she pondered for another long moment before speaking again. "Tree," she said, getting up and placing her small paw against the trunk of one such specimen. Might as well start with the basics. She looked insistently at Shivali. "Tree," she repeated, with emphasis.

She placed her good forepaw on the ground, thumping it once or twice. "Ground," she said. "Ground." Maegi hummed, lost as to where to go next. She gave Shivali an exaggerated, toothy grin. "Happy." Then, a clown-like frown. "Sad." Teeth bared, a growl in her throat. "Angry." She cocked her head, peering at Shivali. "You understand?" she inquired, praying that she did.
