As the conversation moved further, Dawn took the initiative to express more, even though she was still much more reserved compared to someone like Jenni. Although she mentioned she was not big on conversation, Dawn seemed to be an all-rounder on nearly every topic. Her experience might not be deep, but she seemed to know a lot about various subjects.
"You mentioned you learned the language recently," Jenni asked. "Does that mean you're not from the empire?"
Dawn shook her head.
"Where are you from?"
"I don't think you'll recognize the place," she said. "I was born in a nameless village, and my work has had me moving all the time since I was sixteen. But for the last couple of years, I've mostly stayed in the Republic and the kingdom of Iman."
"I see," Jenni gave a thoughtful look. "As far as I know, the Republic uses the common tongue, but Imanian is difficult. I heard there's a huge difference between how men and women talk."
