Ada shook her head. "Oh god, no. I can't imagine teaching them language. I do pottery lessons back home, sometimes."

“Oh.” Ky blushed a little. She thought she meant new children joining the tribe. “Well… I suppose I’ll test my theory soon, anyway. Tasia wants me to teach her how to talk to Ua… should be interesting.”

"What's Ua speak again? Natai? That'll be difficult for Tasia if she doesn't speak it."

Ky nodded. “I don’t expect them to be fluent. But hopefully I can teach them enough to be friends. They seem to like each other already with no common words at all.”

"Kids get along better than adults all the time, I think. There's less reason for them to argue if they don't know to be afraid of differences."

"Maybe that's the only time in anyone's life that things can truly be simple," she mused. "And maybe at the very end of someone's life, too."

Ky cringed. “I suppose it depends on how said life is ending.”

Ky nodded in agreement. She let a brief silence hang between them before, “… so you’re a potter?”

"Among other things. Everybody has a few skills in the Isi. I help make pots and go on hunts, and occasionally I watch the kids."

Ada shrugged, offering a small smile in return. "It's a way of life. I enjoy it. You should visit us sometime, if you can find us."

“I’d like that.” Ky smiled. That seemed wildly unlikely that Tomhas would let her go wandering around in hopes of finding a tribe of warriors. Especially ones that wouldn’t like if she came with a male guard. But, then, if she could be friends with Rönn then she was sure there’s be a way to make this work.

Ada dipped her head. "Maybe you can share some of your knowledge of languages with us."
