Piotr drops a light kiss on her head. (He has to bend over a lot to do it. But he's used to that.)

"She will be very smart. Like her mama."

He is so glad he got English spelling by telepathic infodump.

It's not that Piotr isn't smart, but the idea of learning that system as a second language in the normal way really does not appeal to him. (Piotr is not great with languages anyway, which is one reason why telepathic infodumps are so very handy.)

...So their kid is going to get to learn at least two alphabets and languages the normal way. OH WELL.
