How the hell did Flora accidentally speak the Human language? Language isn't like that. You learn it, and you may CHOOSE to speak it, but you don't accidentally do it. Hoooowwwww????? :|

Umm... Better explination please.

Flora speaks human because she was a slave, remember? There is a way, if you manage to get to the point where you can think in two languages, it's easy to slip up and forget which one you're using. Especially if your audience knows both.

Pretty sure Flora knew English from the get-go.

In before the lock.

Eh, probably. Still seems a little odd to me.

What's so odd about knowing two languages to the point of fluency? It's not like it's impossible.

No, no, that's not what I find odd. It's that she accidentally said something in the other language, WITHOUT HER KNOWING, when she was just speaking the other language at that.

It's easy to do if you know more than one. If you are bi lingual, you can literally think in two languages. If your audience speaks both languages, it's easy to get confused. Deal with it.

Also, IT WAS FOR A JOKE! It's not like it matters.

Possibly the words did not have the same meaning in Keidran then they did in human.
Or it is just shorter and more to the point in Human.

True.

Also, don't snap at me.

1. I thought it was PRETTY plot relevant just to be a joke.

2. You'll never learn if you don't ask.
