Though he only knew a bit of his father's language, he saw no reason he couldn't learn his mom's too! He was young and eager, ready to absorb whatever knowledge they wanted to share with him. In Finnish, he knew some basic words and phrases. Some greetings, how to ask someone how they were, and basic words - reindeer, mother, father. He knew a bit about some of his father's gods and goddesses but the names didn't sound quite natural to him yet and it was hard to remember all of what he had been taught. Hopefully in time he understood it all better.

He grinned as Renhett explained some words to him. His silver gaze fixed on her, interested and alert, as she spoke. "Arigato," he repeated the greeting happily, trying to imitate the way she spoke the words. It sounded much different than how he usually spoke, and far different from his father's voice when he spoke in his first language. "Onegai is please. Dad is Otosan and Mom is Okasan." It was a lot to take in, but saying the words out loud helped him. He went over all of it in his head for a moment, tail slapping tightly against the ground. The last thing she said sounded more useful. "Watashi ko Kai," he said firmly, his pronunciation a bit off, but he was trying! His grin widened a bit at her question. "Nothing in particular, not really," he told her. He just was curious, that was all.
