I see. It is a language I am *familiar* with myself, though it is a mystery to me how it developed seemingly identically in two different worlds. In mine, it is known as Middle Firenese, though it is no longer in *common* use.
[ look at me making shit up ]
Thus, I will make an offer of my own: an offer of *additional* lessons, so you can surprise your instructor with your linguistic *genius* as you appear to miraculously pick up words and phrases he never spoke to you... and catch him in the lie should he ever attempt to teach you a *false* meaning.
[ because that feels like it might be kind of ic. ]
I am truly honored that you would devote any amount of your time to this effort. Excluding the entertainment factor, I believe the more people who can catch Lobelia in a lie, the better. That man is one of the most dodgy people I have ever had the displeasure of encountering.
[And yet he continues to humor Lobelia... Listen, it's good to keep enemies close.]
I can tell you for certain that he has been doing his utmost to get me to say some unsavory things in our first "lesson" alone. Cross-referencing with you will be very helpful.
I have not even spoken to him *directly*, but merely from observing his interactions with others, he strikes me as singularly untrustworthy and *unsettling*.
[ the fuck was that horror story ]
I do hope that all the others see the same and are not led *astray* by his apparent congeniality.
[ like. he can't deny that lobelia is a lot more outwardly charming than he is. ]

I'm in.
How fortuitous that you two seem to share a common language despite coming from very different worlds.

[ except for when he's critting people on the battlefield. ]
I do not know that I can truly call this a *worthy* use of it, but at least I can say I am *imparting* knowledge.

Charisma can blind even the most discerning of individuals. I intend to keep an eye on him and intervene if I see that happening.

In any case, let me know whenever you are ready for a *supplementary* lesson; I should have no trouble making time.

Time is about all we have here. I do hope you aren't going stir-crazy just yet. With that said, shall I track you down now?
