[concasse]

i'm french so putting money on me named after some old crusty saint

at least the japanese one was personalized

[fabrefactions]

... Being named after Saints is common in France?

[concasse]

yeah we're as stuck-up as the rest of the world assumes

[fabrefactions]

[ > BIG DOUBT, he knows Haru. ]

Do you dismiss non-French speakers trying to speak French for having poor accents too? That's another stereotype I've heard.

[concasse]

don't get me wrong

it's fuckin hilarious to hear someone try

but it's not like i mind

u gotta learn somehow right

[fabrefactions]

True. And the best way is to immerse yourself and try to speak the language as much and as often as you can.

... but accents can be are odd, yes.

[concasse]

damn right

like to see u try French and see how far u get

[fabrefactions]

I am well aware how I sound speaking French,
although as a disclaimer I know very little of it.

[ Haru tried, bless her. But alas. ]

[concasse]

[.... :)

ring ring]

[fabrefactions]

[ ... ... ]

No.

[concasse]

Oi, c'mon!

Just one word.

[fabrefactions]

...

I don't suppose you fancy practising your newly learned Japanese skills then, do you?

[concasse]

[...

Alright, touché. Sanji audibly pauses before breaking out the sigh]

Fine, bastard, we'll trade.

[fabrefactions]

That sounds fair. Although as I only told you a word, a word is all you're getting in return.

[ NOW EXCUSE HIM WHILE HE TRIES TO REMEMBER ANYTHING HARU HAS EVER TOLD HIM, help. ]

... [ Oh right, flowers. ] Tournesol.

[ He's 100% clear that no one would think he was French from accent alone - too much of the accents of other languages mixed in there for that, but he has heard Haru talk French plenty of times so m a y b e it'll sound passable. ]

[concasse]

[Well.

An attempt was made.

Sanji at least doesn't laugh at him?? Just smirks, which is somehow audible over the phone line. This smarmy ass]

Gotta use your nose more, but it's alright.

[fabrefactions]

[ "Use your nose more"? ]

How am I supposed to do that?

[concasse]

Kinda hard to explain, but it's like you're sneezing out half the word while you speak it.

[A pause]

... I never said this shit was easy.

[fabrefactions]

... You make it sound so appealing.

[ Hwwwworf. ]

I thought it was supposed to be considered one of the most romantic languages in the world?

[ That you sneeze out, apparently. Ooh la la. ]

[concasse]

Only if you say it fast enough. Then everyone's too confused to say otherwise.

[No one shits on the French like Sanji does.]

Not bad, though. You didn't completely cock it up.

[You get a C+, Yuusk]

[fabrefactions]

Oh, that's the secret then. I see.

[ Con artists, the lot of you. ]

I will take that as a compliment then. But now it's your turn.

[ .｡*ﾟ+.*.｡(❁´◡`❁)｡.｡:+* ]

[concasse]

... You realize I haven't spoken a word of Japanese besides my name, right?

[fabrefactions]

I will give points for enthusiasm and trying, fullstop.

[concasse]

[ooooh there is gonna be some Regret in a second.]

Tch, fine.







... U-- ah? U-tsu---

Wait, I forgot how to---

[He's scrolling through his messages, finds the word]

Uuu...tsu...Kushi.

[fabrefactions]

[ Isn't regret his middle name? ]

...

[ An Attempt Was Made. He definitely sounds amused though. ]

Hold the last syllable - utsukushii.

[ That's how you say it, Sanji. You're welcome. ]

[concasse]

Oh.

Utsukushii.

[A... surprisingly quick study, actually.

However, there is no hiding that French accent.

Like at all.]
