"Yep, it was the only language I could speak until my move to Moscow. Coming here wasn't really my idea, my mum wanted me to learn more about my gifts. I'd like to move back at some point, but it doesn't seem like that'll be happening in the next few years... Cambridge though, that's in England, right? What's it like there?"

"Warm... sunny.... well better weather than here.." Nadia missed heat... it was nice... but there was something nice about the cold too - you could snuggle into your covers and get all warm... she loved doing that.
"I've always wanted to learn Russian. Along with Chinese or Japanese... I think Japanese..."

"Japanese would be cool, Russian - I assume for someone non-Russian - is quite an interesting one, there's all these like different letter rules and then the choice between using traditional alphabet and the russian alphabet. A word of warning though, with languages at the school, if you picked the German with Russian, the teacher doesn't know what she's talking about. She once claimed 'Moio sudno na vozdušnoy poduške polno ugrey' meant 'My family are from the countryside," Tamika laughed, more to herself though as she hadn't told Nadia what it really meant yet. "And then she didn't believe me that it meant 'My hovercraft is full of eels'..."
(Apparently, 'My hovercraft is full of eels' is a useful phrase, who would have thought, lol)

Nadia laughed, "I'll have to try and remember that!... Could be useful... No I don't do Russian here. I'm focusing on french and german on the language side. Then there's naths and chemistry... the list goes on... What group are you?" Nadia had made it pretty clear she was an Academic. She didn't talk about the war much, not that she really understood it, and she had shown no particular interest in animals or whatever. She had no clue as to which Tamika was though.

"As unlikely as it may seem, I am a carer. I'd like to have been a spy, but I'm too clumsy. You would be a... An academic, da?" Tamika asked. She had thought she had seen Nadia amongst the croud of Academics at one of the meetings once when she was wandering past. In saying, she could be totally wrong and imagining things again.

"Yeah, I'm an Academic all right. I did and sometimes do still fancy being a Spy... ah well. Academics is a good enough group."
The school was only a couple hundred metres away now.
"What do you have to do exactly in carers? I know you j=heal people but that's about it."

"Yeah, that's pretty much the main jist of it. We heal the wounded and help out in the hospital wing. Sometimes, because I'm a good friend of Will's, I help out with running the meetings. It's pretty handy, but quite boring and tiresome..."
Tamika sighed, remembering back to the battle, her biggest (and most horrific) call of duty yet.

"I would never make a good Carer... not my kind of thing at all."
They had reached the school. "Well thanks for showing me the way back... you're a lifesaver... I'd better go." Nadia smiled at Tamika before heading into the school and up to her dorm.
