"Good choice. Some of the weird ones are actually pretty good but that was not." 

"Americans are strange people. Your bread tastes like cake and you are all monolingual."

"Tell that to the people who try to quote anime to me like I'll understand it. — more seriously, schools here are really bad at teaching languages, my friend has several different rants about this." 

"Your languages friend sounds fun."

"He is." His voice goes a little softer than he'd meant it to. "He speaks English and Russian and Arabic, I don't know how many languages you speak —" 

"I'm fluent in English, Spanish, and the three languages most commonly spoken in my country, plus I can muddle through in a bunch of others-- Granddad wanted me to learn Chinese because there's Chinese investment in Norzue but it turns out Chinese is hard."

"That it is," he agrees. 

"You know anything other than English?"

"Like the majority of Americans, I took three years of Spanish in high school, learned almost nothing, and retained even less." 

"You're cute," he says in Norzue. 

That's just mean. He can't actually find it in him to be annoyed, though. 

A skill has been created by a special action! Listening to Bandile flirt in Norzue has created the skill Language of Love.

Info/Skills/Language of Love

Language of Love. Lvl 1. Passive.

When a person flirts with you in a language other than English, you hear it as English.

...in retrospect he should not be surprised that that was flirting. Thank you erogame for the existence of this skill. 

He does his best, which is not very good, to repeat the phrase back. 

"You have no idea what I just said! I could have just insulted your mother!"

"Maybe you should tell me, then." 

"I said 'good job learning Spanish,'" he lies.

"Liar. But I'm fine with having said that back." 

Let's steer away from the conversational topic of whether he was sexually harassing his employee!

He attempts to think of a topic change and lands on, "so what is it like to be a police officer?" Which is probably very stupid but that's why he's not a politician yet.

"Less interesting than you'd think, more paperwork than anyone expects." And I think my boss is getting annoyed with me because I keep turning down undercover operations, he doesn't say, because there is kind of a lot of context there. 

"What a coincidence, both of those things are also true of being a prince."

"I'd expect they're true of most jobs." What's another conversation topic where he won't have to elide around the fact that his life is now a sex video game quite so much. "What's your favorite thing about the United States so far?" 

"Nobody knows who I am and I can just do things without it reflecting on my family," he doesn't say. 

"Roller coasters," he says. "There's actually only one roller coaster in all of Norzue."

Asking questions about Bandile's experiences with roller coasters requires no elision whatsoever! 

And once a polite amount of small talk has been made, Bandile makes some excuses and picks up his book again.

Yeah, fair enough. He'll read too, doesn't watch Bandile directly but keeps him in his field of vision.
