Very important to me that Simon essentially comes from an alien culture from graceโs pov.
I imagine the way you express gratitude or well wishes in Eden has to do with the tree also, a more formal expression might be โMay thy body rot and nourish the soil and join the creator in eternity,โ but in casual speech it gets shortened and sounds. very unsettling. To those not in the know.
I also think Simon isnโt technically speaking English, it would sorta be like a modern person trying to talk to someone speaking in Elizabethan English-like you can kinda understand it, but you gotta really focus.
