thank you! everyone's double (or triple!) nature is one of my favorite things about this fandom, and it's always a fun opening for wordplay, especially in the tsf where every sentence needs to do twice the work. and ahhh, i'm glad you liked that phrase, it took a bit of tweaking to get right.

fun fact, one of my pens ran out in the middle of writing this fic, and i tried using a scratchy pen before giving up and finding something better, so 'with no convenient translators' is in green before switching to blue, which i thought was delightfully appropriate.
