"Maybe ask about my favorite food? Movie? Uh..."

"I think I got one.. uh... do you like traveling?"

"YES! But I've never been out of the States though... but I'd really like to go to England or France or anywhere in Europe someday! Maybe we could even go together..."

"W-what?"

"Well traveling alone isn't much fun, is it? It seems nice to go places with you!"

"...Thank you... I guess."

"No homo, though."

"Yes. No homo."

"..."

"..."

"So I guess that concludes our long delayed game of Any Three Questions! What should we do next?"

"Well... hmm..."

"Could you teach me Japanese now?"

"Uhm..."

"Okay... what about Mandareen?

"Alfred... it is pronounced as Mandarin."

"Oh... Mandarin. Yeah. Could you teach me? Because my friend, Arthur, speaks a bit of it... yeah."

"Well... what words do you want to learn?"

"How do I say 'I love hamburgers'?"

"Uhm... Wo ai ham bao bao."

"Wo ai ham bao bao!"

"Well... you need to be softer when you say 'bao bao' but otherwise... it's good."

"Yay! I... I kinda feel bad I don't have any languages to teach you..."

"It's fine. I speak too many languages that I mix them up sometimes."

"Huh. I speak one language and mix it up sometimes."

"Wow..."

"No wait!"

"What?"

"I actually learned a few French phrases from Matthew! He's Canadian, that's why."

"Oh..."

"What do you wanna learn in French?"

"Um..."

"Wait, why don't we play a game?!"

"What kind of game?"

"I say phrases in French and you have to guess them! You can do the same with Japanese or Mandareeen!"

"It's Manda— never mind. Alright then, let's play your game."

"Uh... embrasser moi?"

"Does that mean... hug me?"

"Nope!"

"Then what does it mean?"

"Guess!"

"...I hate you."

"'S all part of the game, Kiku!"

"Kuso kurae."

"What did you say?"

"Guess!"

"... touché."

"Indeed."

"I give up on this game."

"This soon? But you made it..."

"Yeah. But I'm tired."

"Okay then. Night, Alfred-san."

"Nighty-night, Kiku!"
