Chapter 1: Learning Dovahzul (1)

Chapter Text

It all started with a promise. A promise born of badgering.

 

“Teach me dovahzul!”

 

“This is not worth my time.”

-

“I wanna learn! Oh-dah-vling.”

 

“That is not how my name is pronounced, Dovahkiin.

 

“Then teach me! I won’t be a bother. I wanna know all those word walls that I can’t get the meaning of.”

 

Motmahus paar. A difficult ambition.” 

 

“It can’t be that hard!”

 

“I believe you can learn it. I do not believe you can’t be a bother. It is in your nature, Volslenfel.”

 

“My nature is your nature. We both have the soul of a dragon, after all.”

 

Nid. You have seen it. Where a dovah would roar in anger, you simply laugh. Where a mortal would strike the opposition down in rage, you smile. You have never found a difficult choice.”

 

“I’m just better.”

-

“I know this is the seventh time I’ve asked, but…can I?”

 

“The same reasons, I assume?”

 

“I want to learn how to insult people in a language they don’t understand. If you don’t, I’ll just have to use a language that they do get.”

 

Faas. I fear for all the realms if you decide to do this with a daedra. Fine.”

 

“Yaaaay!”
