Well...no. [Seth now looks a little more contemplative. It's true, though. The language of the natives here is akin to some kind of gibberish---she's not sure if it might be some kind of cipher language or an entirely new language altogether.] But...I would assume whatever written material we get would be in a language we understand, right? And besides...
[She looks up at Iwaizumi, raising an eyebrow.] ...Don't you think it's odd that we can understand each other?
I don't know... where are you from? [If they're both from Japan, then it's probably not all that weird. Probably. Either way--] I wouldn't assume written language would work differently though either. We'll have to see what they do.
They considered my land a part of the Middle East, long ago. In recent times, however, most call my home country Byzantium. [Seth doesn't look in the slightest bit Asian---if anything, she looks vaguely European, but anything's possible! So....yeah, it's a little weird knowing a language from a country that's all but gone, where she's from. Much of Asia was destroyed during Armageddon.] But, even though I've never heard this language in my life otherwise, it still makes things easier, right? Otherwise, this situation would be a lot more difficult.
[In the meantime, she shrugs.]
But, you're right---we'll just have to play it by eye and ear. [She smiles. He's a sensible sort. She likes that.] I'm Seth Nightroad, by the way---it's nice meeting you. And you are?

[He nods in return though, offering his name in return.] Iwaizumi Hajime, but in Japan we offer our family name first so...
