Moonspear and strong when you are weak

in many ways, praimfaya realizes as she teaches hydra words and offers her phrases to guess it's meaning, she has taken studious advantage of trigedasleng. it is her native tongue ( by choice ), spoken between her and her mother as soon as she was able to begin to form words. though it may be a bastardized version of common, it's cleverly crafted to sound both feral and misleading to those who would try to discern it's meaning; and like common not everything translates perfectly. words can be switched in which could alter the whole meaning of a sentence despite how similar it sounds to something else.

this, if anything, only solidifies its usefulness to her and those, such as hydra, that prove worthy allies and friends.

to ask 'chon em bilaik?' is to ask 'who are they?'. praimfaya explains to the spear queen. though by teaching hydra their language, she surrenders some of the privacy her, dacio and opalia have by being able to speak it fluently to one another ...but she trusts hydra and has nothing to hide from the ebony woman. even so, she doesn't want these lessons ( rightfully, she feels ) passed around to every moonspear wolf. she trusts hydra and dirge and arcturus — and knows that dragomir might remember some trigedasleng — but her trust, naturally, is hard earned.
