*I give a frantic nod as I'm kissed in agreement. I was a good girl, so I deserved a reward, right? My thoughts were quite clouded now as I writhe about on the table...*
(Hmmm.... Maybe not the only one but it's a very new cultural thing and there has to be a huge boon benefit for people to immigrate there if my character's just going to up and move to a place that was previously cut off. In addition, I think a way we can make it work is that this country has it's own language, writing and metrics that was exclusive to it and the document that I was given was in both the original language and a translation, but the translation didn't phrase a lot of things very well, such as the strange process for becoming a citizen -- Having to be "born and raised" within the country.
How's that sound? It would also lead to shenanigans where my character can't understand writings, do basic math, read or anything else due to her lack of understanding of their specific stuff.
