... Matir.

Matir kara na lilu cei.

[ooc: ... Yes, Matir is a reference to Atlantis. 8D

Translation: Mother.

Mother should not be here.]

... I do not know my mother's name, but that woman is not her.

[ttlynotblue.livejournal.com]

Thank goodness! She gives me the creeps!

[nonomoribird.livejournal.com]

What are creeps? Are they bad?

[ttlynotblue.livejournal.com]

Like the Heeby-Jeebies, the willies, a feeling of uneasiness.

[nonomoribird.livejournal.com]

Those are very strange words. What language are you speaking?

Mother made many uneasy. The men in hoods would not even enter the castle.

[ttlynotblue.livejournal.com]

English, though I know many others. Most I didn't even know I spoke! How often does a person use 'dog', anyway?

Men in hoods? Castle? Saaaaay, are you a princess?

[nonomoribird.livejournal.com]

What is a dog?

Mother was Queen and I am her daughter. I suppose that would make me a princess.

[ttlynotblue.livejournal.com]

Hmm... There was one on here earlier. They're a type of animal, mostly of the hairy variety. They tend to bark a lot.

Wow, what an honor!

[nonomoribird.livejournal.com]

I do not know what an animal is, but there were birds on the island.

An honor?

[ttlynotblue.livejournal.com]

Hmm... They look something like this (http://z.about.com/d/cameras/1/0/v/2/sadDog.jpg), though there's many different breads. Some have long coats, some have short.

Yes, it has to do with respect.

[nonomoribird.livejournal.com]

That is a strange-looking creature.

I know what that is, but people seemed to fear us rather than respect us. Mother reveled in it.

[ttlynotblue.livejournal.com]

You should see a hornbill, they're strange.

That's unfortunate, but it does happen. I'm sorry to hear that.

[nonomoribird.livejournal.com]

A... hornbill?

Thank you. She is gone, now - or I thought she was.

[ttlynotblue.livejournal.com]

A bird from Africa... Hm, I think I have a bird book around here somewhere that I could show you a picture from.

What makes you think she's come back?

[nonomoribird.livejournal.com]

Africa? What is a book?

I saw her.

[ttlynotblue.livejournal.com]

Yes, one of the many continents of the world. And a book is a source of knowledge... Most of the time. It's paper with drawings and writing bound together!

Oh. How is she?

[nonomoribird.livejournal.com]

The world is very large and strange.

I... I hid. I did not wish to see or speak to her.

[ttlynotblue.livejournal.com]

No question about that. There's so much to see and explore, it's hard to understand how anyone could get bored.

... Oh. I see, I'm sorry.

[nonomoribird.livejournal.com]

I like to see things and walk around. There are so many new things here.

It is not your fault.

[ttlynotblue.livejournal.com]

There are, many of which I had yet to see myself.

No, but it's still unfortunate.

[nonomoribird.livejournal.com]

I saw many things with Cora earlier.

Mother may yet leave people alone here.

[ttlynotblue.livejournal.com]

Cora? Oh, you've met her too? She's very kind, isn't she? She showed me a few things too! =D

[nonomoribird.livejournal.com]

Yes. She showed me some of this city.
