Enough to get most things across, even if I'm pretty sure I've got a bunch of holes. I started teaching Thorir a few months ago, and I've gotten better since. It's hard to stay fluent in a language if you can't speak it with anyone!
- here, give me a second.
[He stops for a bit, then says basically "I can speak not perfectly but well enough. I teach Thorir and have grown. Sindarin is hard without others to speak to."]
[She tilts her head at the other end of the phone, listening to his words.]
I understood that... Let me try to speak it now...
[Taking a breath, she thought about speaking in the other language and a little haltingly did so: "Your words are good, together we might learn to speak it even better."]
[It wasn't like she could help it! The language was part of her past and for a moment she feared it might become part of who she was. English was growing fuzzy as more sindarin words rushed into her head.
"I'm sorry! It's not like I am trying to surpass you. The words are... flowing easily.]
[By now Ariel is starting to get a handle on speaking Sindarin, but she I'd still struggling to think of English words. To facilitate talking normally again, she starts putting in effort to not use Sindarin.]
Right. I'm sure. You'll speak it better than him no matter what. But we should speak English more now.
That must have been something then. Did they spend their winnings on you?
[She laughs, and her tone remains light hearted when she speaks again,]
Not yet, but we only just got here not that long ago. I have a 20 dollar rule. I only gamble 20 dollars and never take more money or a credit card with me when I do.
I was his luck! You have to shower your luck with good things when it's going good or it'll turn on you. Didn't last of course. I'm a fickle, heartless lad - alternately, he wasn't as good at the game as he thought. When you're responsible for the good you have to be for the bad too.
Probably for the best. Twenty per day, or casino or what?
That sounds a lot like there is more to that story! I'll have to pry it out of you when I get back! As for the money 20 a day unless its a day with the intent to gamble! I can't afford 20 a casino.
