tune

Belle: Oh, that's easy. MAH-hchtoo HCHKA.

(HCH represents a sound like someone hawking spit.)

Ma'at: No. That makes my name sound like a sneeze. It's Maa-HAAH-ttu-*-HAAH-KAA.

(close, actually. the ḫ is teh Arabic letter HAA. the closest English translation is the sound you make when you exhale deeply to fog up glass. The * is something i am not even sure how to type. I'm the only person I know who can make this sound. I have a deformed uvula, but basically, you inhale air from deep down your esophagus and it makes a noise like- ever blown up a balloon and held the edges tight so some air squeaks by? and the result is an obnoxious squeak. picture that, but raspier and not so high. the ttu is also an Arabic sound. a T sound but pulled from the very back of your throat.)

Mister: geting frustrated, try's to do it louder and ends up sneezing.

Belle: Damn. I was close, though.

(Yeah, I'm good with phonetics. I've never seen that h before, and I can't type it. I did the closest sound I knew. And the asterisk was confusing. Ancient Egyptian is weird.)

Ma'at: I don't sound like a sneeze.
Corrin: grins Wanna try pronouncing his species?

Belle: Fair enough. And… do I want to? Do you want to try pronouncing my real name?

Mister: hops down from Leo's shoulder, after giving him another pat, and runs over to Corrin, intrigued

Ma'at: You probably don't want to. And I have better things to do with my time, like deliver the messages and not sit around asking people if they can pronounce my name. Oh, yeah. to Corrin, in a perfect imitation of someone's voice Nope.
Corrin: The message was 'nope'? He could have just told me.
Ma'at: shrugs, as best as a raven can do Not my problem. Goodbye, humans, mortals, demons, various assorted creatures. disappears
Corrin: to Mister It's Meḫraani * baattiḫ.

Belle: MEH-HAAH-rahnee-*-bahtee-HAAH. Is that it?

(Did I get it?)

Mister: chitters, fails, climes Corrin and sits on his shoulder, chitters again, fails again

Corrin: pets Mister MEY-HAAH-raahnii-*-bahtti-HAAH. Pretty close. The * is deeper this time.
Aeteha: Y'all sound like you're having heart attacks, vomiting, or both.

(What the hell I’ll come back ig)

Avrey: chuckles. god, th-then I shouldn’t even suggest the name of the dimension she l-lives in. gestures to Estee.
Estee: giggles. the word might implode on us

Aethea: Imploding is fun.
Leo: to Mister Lookit the flying kitty!

Estee: writes it out. if one of you can even barely pronounce this, I’ll give you all the answers to life’s greatest questions. And a cookie.
Avrey: o-oh no.
The paper: reads- Xgiørêtüuhxvxkøltøatëkzvakâtøøxønêxexéø

Corrin: What kind of cookie?
Riley: Whatever kind it is, I know a better kind.

Estee: Laughs I doubt it. Have you ever tasted the fabric of spacetime? Fresh ectoplasm? The flavor of when a military officer comes home to his dog?
Avrey: I-it is pretty good.

Mister: moves from Corrin to Riley, hoping for a cookie

Belle: Spacetime, yes. Ectoplasm, yes. And I cannot pronounce that. Here's my name: Xęñøådńīčḫ.

Mister: doesn't even try

Estee: uhhh… Xeh-Nued-nik?

Belle: Hey, Mister. Can you speak any human language? And close, Estee. It's JHE-nued-NIK

Estee: Darn. Aves!! Pronounce the dimension word!! Now!! We need to impress them!!
Avrey: sighs alright. starts hovering as a low, yet high pitched, incredibly unsettling tone comes from his mouth as his eyes start to glow
Estee: giggles what a funny word

Mister: ຂ້ອຍສາມາດເວົ້າໄດ້ບາງ. ບໍ່ແມ່ນວ່າເຈົ້າຈະເຂົ້າໃຈຂ້ອຍ.

Belle: Ah… that's fun, Mister. And Estee, how do you know Avrey can pronounce it?

Estee: puts a glowing arm around Avrey who is still pronouncing the word I may or may not have… well… basically sentenced him to limbo. In simpler terms, have you seen Danny phantom? Kind of like that. Kind of. But exactly the opposite
Avrey: huffs, then looks over at a portal that appeared. Aw darn, why does that always happen
