[ Neat, orderly writing is chalked down on the board. It appears to be...a list of words, though there is some explanation given to their context. ]

s s f w

words/symbols for seasons ?

[ They know seasons, yes, by the change in temperature and weather and landscape. But different communities ascribed different sorts of symbols to them, different words, though descriptions were consistent.

Life is hard when you're used to interpreting a variety of symbols rather than shorthand, to be brief. The language the Knight uses now, the one that unifies people here, is sometimes hard to translate. ]

[smallkindness]

spring/summer/fall/winter

names of the seasons. it's just shorter to write.

[They chose to default to it when writing notes, making it easier to compact. Using symbols to communicate a message is also something the Guardian knows how to but they find words more easier as pictures can carry multiple meanings depending on how one chooses to use it.]

i see

[ They've always written in meandering sentences, partially because nobody had taught them otherwise. Maybe this is something else they can learn? ]

are there other shortened words ?

can you show me ?

[smallkindness]

s/s/f/w - season names

w/t - with, w/to - without

I make up them as I go along.

[They have a good memory so the shorthand they create is easy to remember. One just has to remember to not make it so complex they cannot understand what they wrote when they go back to it.]
