十一 - Learning to work with my hands (could I possibly trouble you...?)

[lu_dao_gu_niang]

Ah, America, do you think you could drop me off with my brothers on your way back to your own ship? I need to start working on my costume for the Halloween party. I-if it's not too much trouble

Less clothing and an electric fan often do the trick.

[lu_dao_gu_niang]

I think Korea got rid of all the electric fans.

[deutschy]

I could attempt looking around our own ship for a fan, if you'd like. Unless we come across one of these "summer islands" I've heard about, I doubt we will miss one.

[lu_dao_gu_niang]

Well, if it's not that warm on your ship, I guess I won't really need one. I suppose I shouldn't complain...

[deutschy]

Ah, yes, you are coming to visit after all. Perhaps you could still borrow one when you return to your ship, just make sure to keep it away from Korea...

[lu_dao_gu_niang]

Thank you, Germany! I'll try.

Should I bring you anything? It's only polite when I'll be the guest...

[deutschy]

It's no problem.

Ah, that is not really necessary. If you feel you must, though, make sure not to trouble yourself too much with whatever it is.

[lu_dao_gu_niang]

What sorts of things does Germany like?

[deutschy]

Hm, things like wurst, beer, dishes with potatoes... pasta, sometimes. I would never expect you to make any of that for me, however. Perhaps you could bring something the entire crew could enjoy, instead?

[lu_dao_gu_niang]

Hmm... I'll do my best to think of something!

[deutschy]

If it includes tomatoes, I can assure you nearly everyone will be pleased. I'm sorry I cannot be of more help.

[lu_dao_gu_niang]

I'll think of something delicious then!

[deutschy]

I look forward to it, and seeing you.
