[ He's just a ruffly bitch. He crosses his arms. ]
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. ]
...and I'm sure all of us speak different languages, ourselves. Frankly, I'm surprised we can all understand each other.
I really wonder what it is, though... so many of the other words we're speaking to each other now are the same, but why the difference in those two words specifically?

[ WHY TALK IN CIRCLES WHEN YOU CAN JUST SAY THINGS!!! Anyway he's a weirdo so now he's awkward that JIUQING is LAUGHING AT HIM. ]

It's rare where I come from. I wish it was more common.

I guess different methods work for different people.
[she peers at the seed packet he's picked up. which seeds are we looking at here, lowe?]
no subject
He turns the packet to Jiuqing. ]
Feverfew. I wonder what it does.
[ So. Dry. ]

A migraine... is a type of headache, isn't it?
[ He's learning a lot today. ]
It's been a while since I was last ill.
no subject
A very intense one which is usually accompanied by other symptoms, yes.
[she smiles]
Is that so? You're lucky, then.
no subject
[ So no worries there I GUESS. ]

[uhhh]
Is that the word for a doctor in your world?

[sorry you're just old-fashioned, estinien.]

... Doctor, then. In concept so far as I've heard, they seem to be the same thing.
[ He's going to have to get used to this. ]
no subject
I wonder what it is about your world that led the people there to favor that word... how fascinating.
no subject
...Pardon? I think it's just always been used.
[ Tfw you're a weirdo who understands dragon linguistics but not people linguistics. ]
no subject
But they mean the same thing, so why is it one word where you're from and a different one where I'm from? They're the same concept.
no subject
So like -- language?
The Domans don't use the same script as we Eorzeans, and they have their own language.
[ I'm pretty sure they do, they all just speak '''English''' for gameplay purposes but surely. ]
no subject
...and I'm sure all of us speak different languages, ourselves. Frankly, I'm surprised we can all understand each other.
