[Raine has some reassessing to do, perhaps, regarding making sure Lloyd is more conversant with, as Kratos puts it, the building blocks. She's known other points of view are valuable, naturally, but this is a particularly interesting object lesson on that topic, especially as it regards teaching.]

[Perhaps Kratos will be willing to sit in more often. Despite the monumental nature of the tasks awaiting them.]

[Meanwhile, Sheena is tugging her slate away from Genis with mild crossness. She'd like to see them try this diagramming business with Mizuho's language, only that would require teaching it, and that's an entirely different problem.]

...Yeah, you're right. One thing at a time.

[She hadn't even been thinking about dialects. There aren't all that many separate ones she knows of, but even the thought is enough to get Sheena to make a face.]

It's a swordsman's philosophy, in many ways.

[Yuan puts this in at least partially to draw some attention back away from Kratos. He's done talking to Botta for now, anyway, and his second is somewhat more solemn-faced as Yuan steps away from him. He joins the others at the table, electing to settle near Genis to allow Lloyd and Kratos some little space to themselves yet.]
