So there we were watching the Lyra Silvertongue show, which is now partly set in Cittàgazze, and Lyanna Mormont mentions the spectres which appear when a child reaches adulthood.
So A, happily reading the subtitles, asks me, "So why do they call them spectres; and not ghosts?". And I was really happy to be able to go into the history of the English language and talk about doublets, so I said, "Well, there's a really cool story to explain that," and I asked her to remind me to explain when the show was over.
She never reminded me. So we haven't had the chat about the Normans and the Saxons, yet.
I live in hope.
