[the clear pronunciation does seem to help Robin follow along a little quicker. he copies one of the more important words the same way that he used to, years ago now, repeating the sound to himself quietly a couple of times until his mouth knows the shape of it, and then a couple more just to commit it to memory. he has yet to use this language much with Tek, but he'd like to keep it alive in case he needs to.]
Then I apologize for being so inconsiderate. My bad.
[the circle he's drawing isn't complicated, he just needs to keep the worst of his energy from spilling over everything. it isn't because he's afraid of being noticed, at this point (their ship has long since sailed, on that one), it's more because he doesn't want to douse Tek with it while the other is being relatively nice.
so it isn't long before his human form glitches away and a stooped, skeletal figure sits in its place, pale and tall and already ducking its head to find what had previously been eye level with Tek.]
