  1. Eventually they started getting hungry.
  2. “Good morning.”
  3. “Give me a sentence, and I’ll say it.”
  4. “Yes. What do you want me to teach you next?”
  5. She stiffened for a moment, then relaxed as she remembered that Zarthia was dead.
  6. “Well.. from now on, we can call you Kidaria in our language, and Divine in yours.”
  7. "Hm." She looked at Divine.
  8. "That is very close to the word 'divine', and the noises are higher pitched..."
  9. "It is?"
  10. She cocked her head.

Ours have more of a range for high and low sounds, while human voices are much higher and do not have the range necessary to speak draconic. While your name is admittedly made of higher sounds than most words, it is still too low for you to say."

  18. She taught her basic verbs, nouns, and pronouns.
  19. “Me.”
  20. “You were very close though.”
  21. “Human.”
  22. “Human.” She pointed to Divine.
