Narrator Voice: Adia had just repeated Harrowheart's phrase perfectly. But unbeknownst to her, it did not mean 'Give me the pen,' but rather, 'I eat penis.' This might explain why Harrowheart's face twists as if he'd just eaten a lemon while simultaneously hearing a hilarious joke.

"Great work, Adia," he tells her in Common as he flashes a thumbs up. "G... Great work."

He returns his attention to Caspar and continues with lessons on verbs. Those are the most important words for constructing a basic sentence -- concepts which can't be pointed to.

After Caspar has learned a healthy chunk of Common Harrowheart stops his lesson and looks around. What comes next? He's teaching Caspar his words, but to what end? It's not as if they can fix the translator -- Hell, Harrowheart doesn't even know what or where it is!

"What do we do now, Caspar?" he asks, tapping his wrist as if to indicate a watch. Now. The present moment.
