'Alright. So, I don't care is 'Je m'en fous', okay?'

'Yes, because the personal pronoun is me but contracts with another vowel.'

'Great, you are doing good. So, now we have... body parts.'

'Amazing! Let's start with hand-'

'Lips. The word in French is 'les levres', understand?'

'Okay. Les levres. That's easy.'

'Hand?'

'Le main.'

'Knee?'

'Le genou.'

'Fingers?'

'Les doigts.'

'Eyelashes?'

'Des sourcils.'

'Ass?'

'Le- wait? Ass?'

'It is a body part. Did you forget that or something?'

'No, just... Why is learning ass necessary?'

'Because ass is ass.'

'You like ass?'

'I am not answering this question. Next one. Eyes?'

'Les yeux. Do you like ass or not?'

'J'aime ton cul. Je vais le manger avec délice.'

'I understood literally nothing.'

'It meant that I like your ass.'

'And?'

'That's it.'

'So, you did not say that you would eat it with delight?'

'You learned French!'

'Shut up, Alaric.'

'Si le verbe aimer n'existait pas, je l'aurais inventé en te voyant.'

'Huh?'

'If the verb 'to love' did not exist, I would have invented it when I saw you.'

'...'

'Stop laughing! It was amazing!'

'Okay, I'll take your word for it.'

'Looks-'

'Do you like boys?'

'...'

'I mean, it's completely your choice-'

'I have a secret!'

'Huh?'

'I mean, nothing very important. You guys call yourself Gen-Z? It wouldn't matter to you people.'

'Alaric?'

'Yes, Pallis?'

'I have a secret too.'

'Oh. That is... It makes nothing better, I guess?'

'Yeah. How about you tell me yours and I tell you mine?'

'Deal me in.'

'Please never say that again.'

'Never going to say that again. God! How do you guys-'

'You'll learn with time.'
