I could teach you some things if you want! It might be handy to know anyway, if we both know it then we could talk in code without worrying if anyone can understand us.
[Honestly she has to learn his language for that exact reason: language barriers. It's going to be hard traveling if the two of them can't understand each other.]
Trying is enough. Finnish can be difficult to learn, but luckily you have a great teacher to help you.
I think a part of me will always wonder if I'm making the right decision. Everyone's expecting my soul to be in my world's afterlife, but it won't be there. I still don't know if I'm messing up some cosmic balance or something.
[This is something she has put quite a bit of thought to, actually.]
But I don't regret going with you, no. That's one thing I'm certain about. Even if it ends up not being the right choice in the eyes of the gods, I don't regret it.
[It's reassuring to know she's thought about it that much. It's tempting to ask more -- if she'll be okay if she doesn't see her loved ones again, if she's separated from her gods, if...
... She says she's made up her mind. He has to trust her. He owes that to her...]
[She'll miss her family much more than her gods tbh. But loss is familiar to her, she'll be okay.
She offers Zel a smile to show that she means it too.]
I've always loved adventures into the great unknown, discovering secrets lost to time. What better adventure is there than going to an entirely new world?

What kind of drinks?

It depends on what gets approved though. We made a few that help increase alcohol tolerance, to give you guys a better shot at winning.

I gave Finnish names to all the drinks I made too, so it should be easy to tell which ones I made.

Maybe I should learn a few words of Finnish...

he nods. even though he was thinking of it in a less optimistic way -- that she might feel lonely, in a place where nobody speaks her language...]
I can't promise that I'll be very good at it, but... I'll try.

No cars. Tanks and other machinery are... rare. A lot of our technology may be primitive compared to what you're used to...
[it might be hard for her, for that reason as well.]
no subject
[She says that, but she kind of likes having electricity and being able to poop indoors.]

"Adventure" might be the one thing I can promise.

[She is joking about that last bit. Mostly. A sauna would actually be nice tbh]
no subject
[help.]
Maybe we can manage finding a sauna, to start...
no subject
I'm joking, Zel. None of that would work for a life spent traveling.
But I wouldn't say no to a sauna.
