Today's commentary gonna be cringey, just warning you. So, this scene is a bit of a meta joke to myself. Specifically the part about Te Fahn not knowing the right word for "cousin". In my first drafts of the whole introduction of Te Fahn and Tehk, I had a bit written up where George starts developing his crush on Te Fahn and Te Fahn introduced Tehk as her "betrothed". The intent being to do a Comical Misunderstanding setup where she meant to say "cousin" but got the english words mixed up, and George thought Tehk and Te Fahn liked each other so he went off a-sulking... and that's as far as the idea got, because while working that out I decided to axe the entire Comical Misunderstanding concept, because I had forgotten to account for the fact the characters are only in the eight-to-nine year old range. Way too young for jokes about betrothals and such. I also don't really want to imply that sarnothi society has betrothals as a regular thing, because they don't. The whole concept was just creating trouble that nobody needed.
