melodiesofkupo | [Video] Greetings

[Look, it's another blonde on the network. However, it was definitely a teenager, and beside him was perhaps the grumpiest Moogle to be seen. It doesn't take long for it to flutter out of view, glowering all the while. Either the boy wasn't bothered by it or just chose to ignore it as he smiled before slightly frowning.]

Hi...

I want to start by taking a moment to apologize. Normally, I'd make an effort to get to know everyone and I wanted to respond to more people on the network, but when we all arrived from the Dream Width, something pretty important to me didn't make it through. Biggs and Wedge managed to find it recently - thanks again by the way. Still, that doesn't excuse my behavior to some people so... I'm sorry about that.

[He nodded his head once and allowed for a beat of silence in which he rubbed the back of his head before recomposing himself]

Anyway, my name's Adrien and I'm from Paris, France on Earth. Until recently, I was homeschooled and I still have a lot to learn when it comes to socializing outside of a fundraiser or a show. Aside from that, I've been tutored in other subjects like Chinese, piano, and fencing, the last I've applied to my asterisk. If you guys ever need a Swordmaster or Ninja, I'm totally up for lending a hand.

[He smiled wider.]

Thanks for your time and I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone.

[And with a wave, the video ended.]

Sounds good. I'm Madhuri, by the way.

[She ran her fingers over the strings, and tipped her head.]

I'm sorry- Paris, you said? That rings a bell... hmmm, France, France. Do I remember how it went...?

Nice to meet you, Madhuri.

[He blinked, tilting his head, wondering what she was up to.]

You've heard of it?

I spent a time in a land called 'Europe'. I forget the year, but I greatly enjoyed the music. So many languages! There was France, Spain, Germany I think, and a little bit of Italy. That was where people had told me to go, anyway. It was hard to hide the horns, for sure, but oh... I miss it!

[She began to strum and wondered if she could recall the cadence. Her tail tapped a rhythm against the chair. Her French was definitely that of someone who didn't know the language, but she knew the pronunciation from repetition.]

Now, I wish I knew what it meant, but you have such wonderful music, and such lovely neighbors!

[Her French definitely could use a little work, but it's enough that he could understand the song.]

Well, the song itself is the artist being fed up with various things in her life and going on around her, and she needs to take some time to herself.

I see! Well, I can get behind her. I, too, have a few things I'm fed up with back home. But that's not for the rumormongers on the network~

But the language is very interesting to me! I can only speak Common and Infernal... but other human languages must be lovely to learn.

Yeah. Better not to say too much over iMog in case it glitches again, too.

If you'd like to learn, I could teach you.

Only if you're willing to teach, Ser. Then I would be glad for the lessons.

In that case, I'm willing to teach if you're willing to learn.

What do they call instructors in France?

Instructors? Instructeurs.

Then I trust you'll take care of me, Instructeur.

[He grinned.]

Leave it to me, étudiant.
