#so i imagine nyra just TRYING HER DAMNEST to remember but she's stuck

A miscellaneous Nyra thought: she has a slight accent. Not very noticeable and doesn’t affect comprehension at all, it’s just a little idiosyncrasy of hers. Though she grew up in Kryta, her first language is Ascalonian and it bleeds into the way she speaks Krytan, Common and basically everything else. It’s in the little words and sounds (for example, her R is slightly harsher than what would be expected in New Krytan) and she sometimes accentuates words in a different way.

On that note, she uses her first language more than expected. Her letters home are in Ascalonian, she reads poetry in Ascalonian and still primarily speaks it with her parents and relatives. Sometimes to Trahearne too, to help him practice, but oftentimes gets too carried away and Hearne has to use a dictionary or two because she used a word that’s only a slang in Rurikton

DW finds this incredibly endearing, though Rytlock and Braham tease her for forgetting certain words sometimes, for example when accidentally said ribbit instead of rabbit because she was groggy and had just woken up so Braham drew a frog with bunny ears and needless to say the paper flew in his direction very quickly. Scruffy doesn’t have the memory of the sound itself but Taimi saved the paper and took a shot of it with a description of Nyra on 75% less sleep than is recommended
