Katarina turned around when she saw Sebastian. There was something unsettling in the man, but Katarina didn't let it to bother her. She curtsied happily as a greeting, though her illusion dress didn’t follow her movements. Katarina had stopped caring about it, there was really no reason to focus on it. Without thinking about it too much she went ahead and copied the outfit Jack, who was standing next to the fence, was wearing. It looked way too warm for the current weather but Katarina wasn’t bothered by it.
“The weather is really nice today”, she said to Sebastian. “A perfect one for new salamanders to come.”
Her words were almost normal this time. Both phrases were so standard that she had no need to think about the needed word, thus she didn’t throw anything random in their places. Well, aside from salamanders, of course. But that was little when compared to most things she sometimes said.
Katarina moved closer to the fence to see the arrival of the buss as well.
I wonder what kind of greeting would be suitable. “Välkommen*?” Yeah, that’s great, let’s use it. “Welcome to the hell” is used a lot as well, but njah. “In sale only for a limited time” is a phrase or something like that as well. It’s not really a greeting, but what it matters? I guess that I’ll stick with “Välkommen” though. They won’t understand it if they don’t speak Swedish. But what does it matter? People tend to make big deals out of nothing. Isn’t it stressful to take everything so seriously?Katarina started to whistle Rose’s tune again.
Välkommen is Welcome in Swedish.
