2.5 hours before failure
The hierarch and her swirling skirts found a nice clear area to work on the translations, she raised an eyebrow at the quote itself before starting to work through the actual translations.
Certain words seemed to jump out directly to her, but others just didn't fit. It wasn't as if translating into the High speech directly would work. It was a sort of pinyin and not always as precise as one would like. Every so often she would look up and note who was working and who was struggling...and even who had left. It was interesting the interactions that others had as they labored.
But whomever had chosen the quote hadn't decided on an easy one, and after some time, and the much pounding of brain muscles she decided perhaps it would be better to go look at one of the Arrow's Sweating competitions while her brain took a the time to cool off.
