Listening with a hungry curiosity, she drank in Caia's words like a starving wolf gulped down food. Now that this opportunity presented itself, she had a chance to realize how much she didn't recall and how badly she wanted to learn what she'd missed. Seeing this woman even managed to bring about a few pangs of sadness. Longing. How long had it been since she saw her parents? Way, way too long - she even struggled to remember their faces at times and worried the memories might fade into unrecognizable blurs. Part of her missed them, yet another part found itself caught up in how little she knew of them now. Where were they? Even her sisters had resurfaced by now, but their parents remained just... gone. At Caia's question Iskra returned to reality, expression turning thoughtful as she went through her memories. Yes, lessons in another language sounded familiar. But that was so long ago, and she hadn't practiced since. At the very least she couldn't speak it without sounding like a moron. Speaking wasn't the important part right now though, she supposed. Nodding, she replied, "Enough that I'd probably be able to understand it. I haven't had a chance to try since I last saw them." Did Leto and Arry remember? Yeah, if Iskra was the one failing at the important memories then they more than likely recalled way more than her. She'd never admit her shortcomings in this area to them, though. Iskra wasn't about to give anyone ammunition to tease her with, no sir. |
