Burglars. Germans have watch butterflies instead of watch dogs.

Their dogs are what they use to keep the beds warm at night, or to guide tipsy friends home.
I use She/Her and They/Them pronouns.

All of these sounds about right, but I can't seem to follow butterfly, guinea pig, and oak croissant. XDD

"Little sea pig"? Oh dear, sounds as though guineas went in the stew pot at sea...

That's right! You're a brilliant student, Koprina.
Today we're learning the names of Trisphee's event items. Because there's a whole lot of them, and wouldn't it be cool if you're able to recall them all? Küken Spinne (as our lovely Koprina here already mentioned) Ratte Hahn Henne Gans ... *blinks* ... *deep breath* Lamahorn Ferkel or Schwein, if you'd rather learn the adult form Schlange Kuh We already learned this. Who remembers? Drache or Lindwurm, if you really want to impress others with your random knowledge Death's

Because it doesn't translate to something silly like oak croissant. But speaking of translations, be the first person to match the different horse names with their right language and win 20 berries.
