[ He's helping him understand how Japanese sounds. ]

「 It is probably counterproductive that we're purposely speaking languages the other doesn't understand. Although I see you used a swear word there. 」

[ This is going well. ]

[concasse]

Ne s'arrêtera pas.

Pas à moins que vous le fassiez en premier.

Croyez-moi, je pourrais continuer comme ça toute la nuit... Yusuke.

[As I casually butcher French with google translate BUT LET'S SEE WHO OUTLASTS WHO.

And yes, Sanji did use the smarmiest French accent to pronounce that man's poor name]

[fabrefactions]

「 Oh, that's my name? It sounds like you emphasised it more -- Haru doesn't say it so... Frenchly?

Was that on purpose, perhaps?

...

I hope this isn't using up too many of my phone minutes. I'm not sure if I even have phone minutes anymore, maybe I'm on unlimited minutes now. Either way, this would be a strange way use them up. 」

[ Yet, still he persists. ]

[concasse]

[Okay because I finally hit max lazy PRETEND HE'S STILL SPEAKING IN FRENCH]

Oh, oh! You said French!

... Don't know why. Is it because I said your name like an asshole? Well you'd be correct on that shit. I'm not sorry, either.

[NEVER GONNA GIVE IT UP.]

[fabrefactions]

[ That's fair.

Well, if Yusuke could understand he, he'd probably be proud that Sanji has learned how to recognise "French" in Japanese. Well done. ]

「I sort of want to stop this, but I also I have a feeling you will be unbearably smug if I do.

And there's something nice about speaking in your mother tongue. A lot of my friends speak Japanese, but we do seem to default to English. 」

[concasse]

[Sanji would be agreeing if he knew what the fuck Yusuke was saying, that's for sure.]

Heh, I want you to know this is the dumbest shit I've done in while.

Don't tell Baren, alright? He'll give me hell and start singing some bullshit like "Yusuke and Sanji sitting in a tree".

[yes, he says that last part in singsong, and yes, if Yusuke knows Baren by name, he'd be able to recognize that Sanji used it. Though honestly? Sanji hardly sounds annoyed. He pauses, waits for Yusuke to speak before jumping in, almost like they're having a real conversation. S'weird, but amusing.]

[fabrefactions]

[ Fun fact: no, Yusuke does not know Baren's name. Despite the fact the guy offloaded 5 dozen roses off on him a few months ago. Not even an introduction. So rude. ]

「I'm now concerned why you said my name, and in such a mocking tone as well...

Am I being insulted somehow?」

[concasse]

[Good lord, that sounds like Baren. And as it sounds like Yusuke's asking a question, just based off the rising intonation of his voice, Sanji pauses before:]

No.

[Which sounds comparable to "No" in English]

Not that I know what you asked... unless you asked why we're still doing this.

In that case - Yes.

[fabrefactions]

「 No, and I know the other one is yes, which is it? 」

[concasse]

... "Hi" right back at ya?

[Hai/Yes vs Hi... haha language puns]

[fabrefactions]

「 Why "hi"? 」

[concasse]

The hell do you keep saying "hi" to me?

... "Bye"?

pretend i'm still doing those quotations

[fabrefactions]

Why do you keep saying "hi"? We're far past that in the conversation now.

[ "Conversation" ]

Unless that means something in French. Maybe I should be recording all of this to play to Haru later...

LOL we have both reached peak laziness

[concasse]

... Haru?

[... Maybe that's just a Japanese word? Sure, he put emphasis on it like you would a name, but...]

we make ourselves suffer much

[fabrefactions]

Haru.

[ Now THAT he understood. ]

[concasse]

Aaaah, figures you'd know her.

What, you two dating?

[fabrefactions]

[ Oh and now we're back to stuff he doesn't understand. After a moment, he sighs. For the bff, he will take this loss. ]

I assume we didn't just randomly repeat Haru's name back and forth for the fun of it.

[concasse]

[YEAAAAAA HE WINS HE... HE...

Ah to hell with it. Even if in name, Haru continues to have this subduing effect on Sanji -- like he's been reminded of purity made flesh, and thus can't understand why the universe allows lesser men to exist.]

So you know her? Short girl, curly hair?

[fabrefactions]

[ Haru is a blessing upon this earth. It's true. Also tiny and terrifying, but you will learn, Sanji. You will learn. ]

Yes, that would be her. Half-French, gifted florist and baker. Also the person who kindly translated your "insults" when you first messaged me.

[ You will learn. ]

[concasse]

[W H A T]

Oh you shitty cheat, I knew something was weird!

Don't bring your girlfriend into our fights, that shit's in poor taste!

[fabrefactions]

[ A sad, tired, almost audible squint at his phone. ]

Firstly, Haru is not my girlfriend.

Secondly, I will utilise resources and kindly given favours as I like, thank you.

[concasse]

Oh?

[Huh. Too bad, that would've been cute, at least--

Oh shit wait--]

Well that's good, because I need a favor suddenly.

[fabrefactions]

It is a common misconception.

[ Oh whoops he's gone temporarily deaf and can't hear anything. ]

I said kindly given, not opportunistically taken.

[concasse]

Shit, at least hear me out!

[BE A PAL?]

[fabrefactions]

[ This long silence indicates he is listening. Go on. ]
