Yeah-- my mom and dad were from there. I try to keep up with it, but I'm not as fluent as I was as a kid.
[this is a lie. he's totally fluent. he just feels like he isn't because he occasionally runs across a word he doesn't recognize. But, the waiter sets the menus down for them after that. He wasn't kidding about just a minute.]
It's... We ran into these ghosts that if you touched them, they made you feel bad about yourself. I'd just one-hit-KO'd this stealing cow, and accidentally touched one. The girl I was with took it as a point of personal insult that I was downplaying what had just happened, and decided to go to the roof to call another monster that I could one-hit-KO.
[he sounds... exasperated? amused? a little of both?]
