Functional French, Tuesday, Period 2

[one-who-goes.livejournal.com]

French class met around a large, circular table in the Danger Shop today, which had been programmed to resemble a bustling French bistro. Henry had to shout a little bit to be heard over the background noise.

//Welcome to the Bistrot du Coin//, he said. He'd decided this was the week he'd speak French for the entire class. //This is modeled after a real restaurant in Washington. I hope you're a little hungry even though this is a weird time for a meal, because your assignment this week is to order something off the restaurant's menu. Here's a vocabulary sheet for the day; the moddable waiter will be by in a few minutes. I'm getting the Confit de Canard, for what it's worth.//

//Make polite conversation while you eat, please.//

Jonothon found himself idly wondering if anybody would take issue to him just ordering water.

//Je ne peux pas manger. Puis-je avoir une carafe d'eau s'il-vous-plaît?//

Not to drink, of course. Just to muck his fingers around in idly while he watched everybody else eat. It smelled good, at least. He'd certainly give it all that.

Henry winced. //Sorry I keep doing this to you//, he said. //Make it up to you next week?//

Jono needed to take a moment to parse that before simply lifting a shoulder and answering, in English.

//It's something I'm getting used to, I think.// He flicked the water from his fingertips onto the table, and then glanced up Henry's way. //People eat. There's no point bothering to make special exceptions just because I'm here, Mr. DeTamble.//
