Explaining what Latin is, exactly, is something of a challenge. Hazel is sort of used to the whole idea that people from different...worlds...are here to do some Hero Thing, or not, the choice is theirs. But explaining things like this is a little...tricky, when everyone around her knew what she was talking about just by saying 'Latin.'

"It's a language and a culture. It was mostly used in Rome durin' ancient times where I'm from, but there's a modern version of it, too. My brain is hardwired to read and generally understand Latin. Any other language can be a real pain to read because of that."

Though, in fairness, she might be okay with other Romance languages.
