Sønheim Embassy.
Leif: Hello, Katya! Did you hear? Our foreign guards stopped a package with an illegal compound in it.
Unrelated . . . you take care of the kids sometimes, right? Do they ever chatter about plans to strengthen Miss Iona’s legs?
Maybe not necessarily legal —
Katya: No, Leif. I’ve never heard the children talk about anything like that.
Leif: Okay.
Katya (signing): Someone important did this. Don’t pry.
Leif (signing): Understood.

Question: is purple hair a genetic trait of one/some of the ethnic groups you described earlier? Related question: what is Leif’s ethnic makeup?
(btw third line from the bottom of the transcript has a typo)
Different hair colors are more common in some regions than others, but there’s no hard-line “purple hair = ethnicity X” rule.
…shhh, don’t draw attention to the fact that I haven’t named/mapped the major Sønska ethnic groups yet.
(typo fixed, thanks!)
Sign language, interesting. Do only the servant classes have it, or is there a different type for the elites?
It’s the regular Sønheim Sign, used by deaf Sønska people of all classes. (And it’s been part of Leif’s profile on the cast page since day one. Planning!)
Did they learn sign language before they became indentured servants or after?
