[Everyone seems to be saying the same thing. Ysayle finds in this a troubling truth of her circumstances. Not home. Unsure of how to find her way home, if even she can. The truth of things just to return home. Does she want to return home? It doesn't take much more thought for her to realise that she doesn't really want to think about it that deeply.

More importantly is the miqo'te addressing her. Not one she recognises, unfortunately. But a kind one. Seems to be a running thing here.]

How do you know that? Have you ever spoken with the beasts back home?

[Yes, because that's definitely the important part of the conversation here. She'll acknowledge that they're from the same world, at least. There's no denying that.]

[songofthedawn]

[Clearly the most important thing to be clear on, definitely.]

From time to time. I talk to my chocobo quite often, though I don't think he understands half of what I say. Dhaval and the rest of my Pokemon follow along quite easily by contrast--at least with my words, they struggle with some concepts.

[stillthehatred]

Just because he does not understand the way you say something does not mean he does not understand what you are trying to convey.

[Mind, Ysayle is no chocobo whisperer herself, but sometimes it's not language used that gets the point across. Sometimes it's tone.]

The creatures of this world are different than what you and I are accustomed to. To me it seems an unfair comparison. The circumstances are distinctly different.

[songofthedawn]

Mmm, you do make a fair point. Communication is much more important for Pokemon than any creature I can think of back home...save mankind itself, or dragons, of course.

[stillthehatred]

The conversations between mankind and dragon themselves provide example of how the language can be the same and still misunderstood. Misconstrued. Twisted and manipulated. I would not foresee the same difficulties with these Pokemon of which you speak.

Although— [She can't help casting a look over to her lapras.] —I hardly know what this one would want of me. Mayhap merely attention. Are you capable of understanding your own?

[songofthedawn]

[They don't have much to say to her rebuttal--it's hard to deny any of that, after all. So they settle for a solemn nod before addressing the rest.]

Only so far as gestures go; I've picked up a few sort of 'phrases' they use for things they're each attached to, but not much past that. So far as what it wants...attention or companionship is what I'd waver, though what little I've seen isn't much to go off of.

[They grin and shrug in a sort of 'what can you do?' gesture.]

Has it shown any particularly noteworthy quirks or behaviors?

[stillthehatred]

[That's both... informative. And yet not. At the same time. Not that Ysayle has held any expectations in light of the situation. She will have to find the answers for herself. That's how it's always had to be.]

None that I have noticed. I would not know what behaviours or quirks to be particularly noteworthy. It seems merely interested in being in my space. At all times.

[So. Akin to a child, perhaps, though to be fair it's not as though she's spent a frightful amount of time with children either.]
