It wouldn't be exciting if I told you what it meant.

[ go look it up on your own, merlin!! ]

[sortileges]

[ He half pouts at that, cutting off a piece of toast. ]

Say it again.

[psycholawgy]

[ he'll probably notice that what she's going to say it different, but that's okay. ]

Je t'aime, mon prince.

[sortileges]

[ This time he just laughs, then pushes the toast at her mouth. ]

That wasn't the same.

[psycholawgy]

[ she takes a bite and pushes the food down with orange juice before she speaks again. ]

That's too bad. I don't want to say it again.

[sortileges]

[ This time he just takes a piece for himself, sighing when she won't say it again. He stays quiet then, trying to remember the pronunciation of either of them, but he's still getting used to the sounds. It's impossible :( ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she looks at him fondly as she eats her food. really, she'd say it again if he kept asking, but he didn't :( ]

Which one did you want to learn first?

[sortileges]

[ Because no is no??????????? ]

I thought you didn't want to say it again?

[psycholawgy]

[ he needs to learn how to not take no for an answer!! smh ]

You don't want me to?

[sortileges]

[ That doesn't lead to nice places :( ]

I do but...?

[psycholawgy]

[ well, he should do it anyway :T because playing hard to get is so useless with him!!! ]

But what?

[sortileges]

[ Because he has manners with these things?!??!? ]

Nothing...? I guess? [ He's so lost....... ]

[psycholawgy]

I'll say it slowly, then.

Je vous remercie, mon prince. [ each syllable is careful, and she watches his expression as she speaks. at least it's a lot slower this time that he should be able to get how it's supposed to sound. the spelling, however... ]

[sortileges]

[ He watches her mouth when she speaks, his ears tingling a little from the odd sounds and he ends up biting the corner of his lip. He tries to copy it, but really it's just horribly butchered. ]

Jeh vuse remersee?

[ Sorry, French people... ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she tries not to laugh when he repeats it. this is strangely endearing?!?!?! ]

Curl your tongue a bit more when you say it.

[ and she even says it again so he can get a better idea of how it's supposed to sound! ]

[sortileges]

[ Too welsh for this tbh... ]

Je vuus remerseh? [ It's really not much better. ]

[psycholawgy]

No... Je vous remercie.

[ he can do this!!!! eventually... ]

[sortileges]

[ Maybe in another 1k years. ]

Je voo remerrthee

[ Well phonetically it's getting closer?! ]

[psycholawgy]

Je vous remercie.

[ almost there!!!! ]

[sortileges]

[ His eyes shut as he listens to the sounds. It's easier when it's a bit louder, and it's just like when he's trying to learn a new spell honestly. He usually has to repeat it a few times until he gets the pronunciation right.

This time, after 3... 4??? attempts, it comes out almost perfect. ]

Je vous remercie.

[psycholawgy]

Great!

[ she forgets about eating then and claps both her hands together in excitement. ]

It means thank you.

[sortileges]

It sounds better when you say it. [ Ah. ] But that makes sense.

[ Now though, he's just going to feed her another piece of toast. Then: ]

Je vous remercie. [ For telling him, that is u//u ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she hums in approval before taking a bite. ]

The other one means I love you.

[sortileges]

[ He waits until she's done before leaning to kiss her, tongue licking a teeny bit of syrup from her lip. Yum. ]

Can you say that one again, too?

[psycholawgy]

[ ah... that actually makes her freeze a little bit. she ends up staring at him for a while when he pulls away, in a daze. ]

Um.

[ she swallows. ]

Je t'aime.
