NotEnrique is a bit of a linguist. We know he speaks English of course. He tutors Claire in passable Trollish within just a few weeks. Despite him telling Fragwa that he “doesn’t understand that waka stuff” it’s pretty clear that he still very much understands what the goblins are asking of him. And he’s the only character we see actually able to understand Gnomespeak (though perhaps not actually speak it, as he always responds in English).
idk I just think that’s a very interesting little tidbit of his character that doesn’t get noticed much
I think that might also be a general changeling thing, I’ve always headcanoned that changelings can pick up languages really fast. And I think NotEnrique was in the Darklands for a long time, he probably learnt English and several other languages from whatever was chucked into the Darklands, the side novels say there was a TV sent through by the fetch, so anything is possible.
(It would also explain why NotEnrique had such a strong New York accent).
Oh! He also knows spanish! So that’s at least five languages, if we assume changelings have their own language.
Hey I came back to Japan. I appreciate my friend @silvermender took me out to Dream Works studio. And introduced me to Trollhunters artists. I met amazing persons a lot. That time was really amazing memories like time in a dream. And special days in my life!! Thank you tons!!
The nursery was quiet. He didn’t let that bother him. The ‘rents had got a call abou’ an hour ago and stormed out the house, tyres squealing as they hurtled out of the driveway - no idea what that was all about - and Sis was going to the Trollhunter’s house after school, said she’d be back by dinnertime.
He flicked his gaze to the window, fully dark out. Usually Javier would have started dinner by now, but no one was back yet.
“S’alright, snotface,” he said to the sleeping lump in the crib. “Someone’ll be home soon.”
guys. I am so excited, everyone has done a stupendous job, this project is an incredible collection of amazingly talented artists, writers, and cosplayers! Follow @trollhuntersfanbook for updates!
