For pronunciation. Obviously.
She looks surprised at Scout, and Teddy's not sure why, but they glance at her curiously. Maybe where she's from you don't name dogs nouns or occupations (though, common - and good - a dog name as it is, Scout does owe the deciding vote on her name to an abiding fondness for Scout Finch)? Ulfrun does sound more like a Real Name.
Teddy's brows draw together a little at the things that have happened here, and Randvi gets an actual head tilt from him at the description.]
...huh. Well, yeah, I remember 2014 -- it was my last year of high school. Partly. [She wrinkles her nose, good naturedly weirded out by eleven years. How did that happen?]
But -- no, you're right, nothing like that happened. Or in the time since. I mean. As far as I know? I don't keep close tabs on Canada, I guess, but it doesn't sound like the kind of thing that just...happens...
[Teddy presses their lips together, trying to take all of this in. The cold suddenly feels a little more oppressive and they repress a shiver.]
When you say cut off from the larger world, do you mean -- by some kind of disaster, or -- I mean, what did happen here?
