So I heard, that that's a trait among Domans at least. [ Estinien taking everything at face value like the western man he is, meanwhile. ] I find it annoying to have your point be mistaken. Saves words and further hassle.
I've never particularly bothered with it. Aymeric says things in roundabout fashion at times, but it was a necessity for him to occasionally veil his words. Me, I let the lance do the talking.
[ He just picks up a seed packet and stare at it. He understands fucking nothing. ]
[okay it can treat fevers too but there's something the summary at the top of the page not even mentioning fever at all that just puts me in the ground.]
Is the terminology really so much in the minority?
[ Jiuqing is the latest in a handful of people who have questioned him saying chirurgeon. It's the word in his world, he's stunned so many people prefer doctor. ]
