.. .. .. .. ..

[A new face shows up on the feed with a cool countenance and a pair of blocky shades obscuring his eyes. He tips his head just enough for the sunglasses to catch the light from the laptop screen and glint, but he says nothing for a good, long moment.

And while it might go unnoticed, he swallows. He begins to mumble to himself. (Hover over the text for translation.)]


...... ... ...

[Struggling to find the words to introduce himself, Machi grips onto his arm. Nobody here would understand Borginian, but that was the only way he was used to introducing himself. He angles his head downward for a moment.]

... ...This language, I understand little. I try learn... learning it. I must. Excuse my poor speaking.

My name is Machi Tobaye. Here, I am s-student... Never do school, before. No big school. Me, I do piano, like piano. ... ...

Sorry. ... I not speak well, yet. I want improve. I want practice. So, please talk with me.
