this is a second version of this post b/c i accidentally hit a keyboard shortcut while typing and lost the original. ;-;
the first word she speaks 'pestilence' is a strange sounding word and far, far too complex for him to even attempt to grapple with — thus is goes largely ignored. yet, the second word ignites an understanding that transcends their language barriers.
god,gleipnir repeats the word with familiarity.
ég á guði.he murmurs in the old tongue.
i...i gods.he tries to translate, but frustration at himself, at never heeding siv's lessons, causes his brow to furrow.
i don't need to know how to speak their words, he can recall telling his milkmother. i only need to know how to speak war. fear is a universal language. arrogance at its prime.
she repeats his name, and asks him a question that he, once more, grapples with to decipher.
gleipnir.he repeats with a firm nod, motioning to himself with a small gesture of his muzzle.
gleipnir.he affirms a third time, hoping that he answers her mostly gibberish ( to him ) question.
sakhmet is welcome to join in any of gleipnir's threads @ any time.
