Now, this part of the story arc is more than just funny -- it tells you a lot about Aylia's society, or at least one important thing.  I'm always frustrated with fantasy stories that seem to take for granted that everyone speaks the same language just naturally -- nothing's more flexible and changeable than language, so that doesn't make sense!  Aylia isn't just fluent in English -- she's trilingual.  She speaks English because her mother's from our world, not because it's common where she comes from.
