taking comfort of her body at their side, the dragon rumbled comfortably, "it's also been forever since i've seen the words of my mother tongue written out. oh, you know some german? my mother knew an assassin who was fluent in german. i believe that i've seen her around?", they murmured softly, rumbling in contemplative thought, yawning as they relaxed, calmed by her scent with its tinges of lavender. "if you find italian easy, chinese might not be too hard for you, it's softer sounding words, although they can twist one's tongue.", they murmured softly.

ears twitching as they shook their antlered head, the dragon reached for one of the softer clay tablets, grateful for the kiln nearby, nodding to one of the NPCs in the room, knowing that they would take it away to be treated and fired. carefully, they etched out a word, the lines that they drew with their talon bringing them some sort of inner peace, "Niǎo. It means 'bird', and this is the character for it. Bird, in traditional tongue.", they chuckled, looking at the character with a fond smile. They had drawn the character, 鳥, the memories coming to their mind bringing them peace as they remembered the birds that had gone flying around their home palace as a child.
