"You've had a fortunate head start, then. Oh, I shouldn't say fortunate. I've had a head start in many things and it would be careless for someone to say I was fortunate." He awkwardly mimicked the gesture of raising and lowering your shoulders when speaking. "I have to learn everything from scratch here. Humans weren't a thing where I was from. If they were, they didn't come around the parts of space I ventured in. So now I take cultural classes to help me know what I need to know. "

"I have heard of my fortune before. Considering the troubled times I was born in, were I born under different circumstances there would be no one to raise me.", and perhaps she would have become a wild beast. But would that make Serena more detached from the material? Or... With her beak she cleaned her chest tuft, still paying attention to all Darzih has said. "There is quite a lot of catching up to do. I too had to take remedial classes after ending my pilgrimage all around the world. There were studies to conclude, changes to learn of.", following those words, she put away the last loose feather she had taken off.

All done, her form has changed within flames harmless, the monster bird form giving place to a winged woman, who sat down on knees right before the bag full of phoenix downs. "For someone such as yourself, I assume an adventure around the would be arguably small compared to where you have been to.", unsurprisingly, Serena's tone matched the expression she had now, which was probably the same internally as a phoenix: a gentle, friendly smile.

Darzih took several steps back from the bird as she was covered in flames. "Next time, a warning would be appreciated," he stated with some annoyance before moving on.

"An adventure is an adventure. If I am unfamiliar with the place, then learning about it will almost always be pleasurable." And now that he had the freedom to adventure how he pleased, it would surely be more pleasurable.

"I'm also in remedial classes. I'm still getting set up, with some of my classes potentially being changed to better suit me. Maybe we'll share some classes."

"Oh, that... It doesn't always happen.", and from her brief look of curiosity before she was once again serene, Serena didn't know why that happen, but it was never a concern, "But yes, an adventure is an adventure no matter where nor what. Although I could have soared up to one of the tallest mountains, I ventured the path up, was most exciting."

"Classes we'll share will probably be linguistics and history. Linguistics however I'm pretty sure I'm nearly done."
, after all she did need to learn a little of many languages in her journey...

"I doubt it'll be linguistics if you're that far ahead. I have to start my lessons from the beginning. I have no past experience with English or any language like it, so I'm starting completely from scratch. My charm is the only thing keeping me functioning here." It was why he had it placed on his neck. He refused to let the slightest possibility of it falling off remain.

"History sounds plausible, however. I'm from another dimension, so history is something I'll need to be taught heavily. I'll need to be taught most things all over again."

"Never knew it was possible to make everyone understandable with a charm or device of any sort...", Serena could imagine if such thing ever became universal... Would people still fight if they could understand what each other is saying? Of course, but wishful thinking that they wouldn't...

"Oh, you will likely have a cut-short version of history, so to say "World History". Since if we were to focus on everything from all countries... Most of us wouldn't live long enough for that, right?", the winged girl laughed hearty.

Darzih laughed along with her. "I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life learning about history that holds no relevance to me. I don't know what my course will lead to, but I'm fairly certain it'll skim over stuff not relevant to the island." He hoped it would. School wasn't that bad in Darzih's opinion, but he didn't want it to be tedious.

"And yes, I was given a language charm to translate my language to English and English to my language. It made things much easier for me."

"Hm, now you got me curious... What do you sound like in your native language? After all, one's native language carries accent and traits that can be quite fascinating.", she showed genuine curiosity in his alien language, however it may be. Maybe Serena could learn his over time? Unlikely to happen without a long time to spare, but time for her was no concern.

"Native language? I suppose it is... Well, if you want to hear, then alright."

He unclipped the charm from his neck. When he spoke a simple introductory greeting, his words were completely alien, yet somewhat simplistic sounding. He clicked his tongue a few times and made hand gestures. The language was meant to accommodate many species, so there were a few ways to use the language to communicate the same thing He clipped the charm back on soon after.

"I don't know what accent or traits you could pick up from that.

Her wings gave light twitches, and her head steadied and the focus was all on Darzih, as she listened to him in his native accent. There was something vaguely familiar. And once he had his charm on, Serena would let him know without delay: "Very Italian for me. Possibly because of so much gesturing. Has a hint of Portugal's Portuguese too. And something from middle east or even Asia."
