[ Soft muttering in French, soon replaced by a surprised gasp and then a chuckle ]

Mon Dieu... Something seems to be a... 'ow you say, out of place, oui? Ah, perhaps that particular champagne did a bit too much. Maybe I shall attempt some seasoning instead next time? Ah.

[ A brief pause with some shifting sounds-- followed by a sudden yelp ]

Finally, someone else who speaks French. Although I'm not sure how happy I should be, yet.

[coq_au_vin_baby]

I would prefer it to not speaking any at all, n'est-ce pas?

[feumesparents]

Pas du tout.

[coq_au_vin_baby]

Ah, it is sweet to hear such a welcoming tone. You have been here long, cherie?

[feumesparents]

It seems I should work on that tone, then, I didn't mean for it to be welcome at all.

A month, a month and a half.

[coq_au_vin_baby]

Sarcasm, cherie. It is an asset at the best times. But a month, you say... So this Discedo does not like people returning to their daily duties, eh?

[feumesparents]

It does not. It's terribly annoying.

[coq_au_vin_baby]

Come, such a bitter tone may make your stay even more bitter, cherie. Why do we not talk of something better, oui?

[feumesparents]

...what would you suggest?

[coq_au_vin_baby]

You could give me your name, to begin with.

[feumesparents]

Mathilde Donnay. And yourself?

[coq_au_vin_baby]

You may call me France. Enchanté, Mademoiselle Donnay Of course... unless you are married, then I ought to address you differently...
