[i]The duelist Ren responded with a grin of her own, alongside a deep bow towards the young man that had entered the courtyard. After rising up from her bow, she began making her way over to him, eyeing the sword at his side with apparent interest before looking into his blue died with her own brown ones. [/i] "[b]Salut![/b] I believe that we have not met?
I am Ren. Tis a pleasure, monsieur...?"
[i]She placed her cybernetic hand on her side, awaiting the name of the young man in a rather eager manner. Ren was just this happy, really. Seriously.[/i]

[i]Zachary smiled, recognizing the French; he'd learn a bit of the language in school.[/i] "Salut, mademoiselle," [i]He said with a smile.[/i] "Je m'appelle Zach, ou Bruce en Français. Et toi?" [i]His French was a little rusty after years of not using it, but it was there nonetheless.[/i]

"[b]Je suis Ren, monsieur. Ren Monroe. Plaisir de vous rencontrer ici, de tous les lieux.[/b]" [i]Ren's recognition of Zach's ability of speaking some French had excited her somewhat: he was the first person that she had met in time Dojo that spoke French, her native language. In fact, he was practically the only person that she had fluently spoken French to in general, for she thought she would confuse those that spoke primarily English in the Dojo.[/i]

"Enchanté, Ren," [i]Zach said with a smile, yet he appeared a little confused by Ren's strange French; perhaps they came from different French-speaking countries, or maybe the writer was using Google Translate; either way, it was rather difficult to understand. He continued the conversation in what basic French he knew, doing his best to understand Ren's once again strange French.[/i] "Comment allez-vous?"

[i]The writer was indeed using Google Translate, as she was a wannabe French. Seriously, I do feel bad. Ren only chuckled this time, shaking her head a little after listening to Zach speak French. Mostly because she relied on Google Translate, and mostly out of amazement.[/i] "...Amazing. And here I was, thinking I was the only one that spoke French here.."

Then Zach died.

"No, mademoiselle, most certainly not," [i]Zach said with a smile, switching back to English.[/i] "Anyway, how's a fine woman like you on an equally beautiful day?" [i]He asked, shoving his violinist fingers into his pockets awkwardly.[/i]
