As far as the eye could see, books panned the greatest length of a large table. For once, he was reading without aid of his half-moon spectacles. He knew that anywhere in the world, it was unsafe for him to behave as simply as he once did at home. Anyone who knew Nakamura Hira in Kirigakure, knew good and well that he read every book he could get his hands on with a pair of half-moon spectacles. It was the first time that he had read without them, and it was the first time that he had read since he left Water Country.
Context is everything in this language.
He shook his head as he penned over lines of three different contrasting phrases. He had gone to the Accolade's University to obtain current news about Kirigakure and the fairing of Water Country, but found little evidence that anything had drastically changed. He noted a few signs about courses in the nation's ancient language. Much like Mist, which had Mizugo, Stone Village had an ancient language of its devices. Rationally, the Water Country native wanted to absorb as much knowledge as he could that would better position him to his advantage here.
He pronounced a few syllables in the language, but felt a little bit uncomfortable speaking it. People around him in the library raised their eyes a few times, noting his poor accent. He definitely was not from Iwagakure. Biting down on the Pen in his mouth, he furrowed his brow in disdain. It felt like being an Academy Student all over again.
Why am I doing this again?
Because, it will help you along in your travels. Don't forget that, Hira. You need to immerse yourself other cultures. You used to do this all the time as a foreign emissary.
He scoffed, accompanied by a short-winded exhale of annoyance. Certainly the task of learning Bohemian wasn't beyond him, it would just take a little mental exercise to complete. A few days... Maybe a few weeks. If he immersed himself fully, the language would come easily enough. The hours slipped away, as he turned an hourglass repeatedly to track his time. Each time the hourglass turned, he marked a paper that lay before him with a pencil. Quantifying his progress was a necessary action, especially given the amount of high-priorities that he had on his list.
Well, compared to Mizugo, this language is actually relatively tame. The symbols are far easier to conquer, and there are fewer silent vowels that need pronunciation.
