Whaddya mean, no one says newbs anymore? [ ... ] You're gonna have to excuse me for falling behind on the times; my plate wasn't exactly empty, y'know!!
Land sakes, I do declare that all these lexicological jargon are quite the quizzical quandary to my archaic auditory receptors. Why, one may be disposed to find such auditory conundrums to be rather ostentatious and supererogatory.
[ Have a look of just.........what? It's not so much the verbosity in itself -- okay, maybe it is -- but Aranea is just as dumbfounding on the eyes as she is on the ears. Give her a moment. ]
[ One of her eyebrows juts up in a silent "Really?" before she rolls her shoulders, seemingly more at ease even if she's not completely sure she isn't being mocked. ]
That didn't have quite the same ring to it, but thanks for the translation.
You are very welcome. I do try to be supportive in any way I can.
Except when I am not intentionally. Though I am usually called out for such deceit fairly quickly.
To the topic, colloquialisms is one thing I am not particularly versed in. It seems that every location and generation are trying to outdo the previous in some capacity.
The irony is that the phrases they think are new are often much older than they think.
[ She bites back an explanation just before she says it. There's no reason a girl as young as she is should know that she wasn't actually referring to food. ]
Don't worry; I scraped my plate clean, and went back for seconds too.
I don't seem to recall interrupting the conversations of others ever being considered "proper" behavior. Perhaps you were not disciplined enough at home? [A little voice somewhere in his mind reminds him that the thing he's addressing is in fact a little girl who has been tortured past the brink of insanity, but then Nagi remembers that he doesn't care. She's one of them. Any opportunity to drive the knife in deeper is one he'll seize on gladly.]
Oh, I do apologize. I promise to excuse myself the next time we speak. However, I must speak about the matter at hand, if I may. Again, Hibana believes you should rest.
The beliefs of an ugly little monster don't concern me. I'm going to insist that you not speak anymore, but you may listen to our conversation if you wish.
Perhaps Karako can teach you something about what it truly means to be a lady.
[ No one is caught more off-guard by this interruption than Karako. The change this girl brings about in Nagi keeps her dumbstruck, and the teasing remark she had planned on chiming in with, that maybe he should listen to the kid and go lie down a bit, dies in her throat. She's never seen him this way, with all the empathy gone out of him. It makes her blood run cold the more she listens, knowing that there's no way in hell whatever she asks next will get a pretty answer. ]
What the hell's gotten into you? Who is she?
but mom she started it!!! (when she cut off my arm and ate my skin)
Undertaker. [Nagi spits the word out of his mouth like it's poison.] Don't be fooled. That... thing... is a murderer. A real one, not like us. She is not human.
[ Karako tenses as Nagi explains, turning wary and hateful eyes on Hibana. They widen with recognition as a horrible realization hits her, and she suddenly knows why the little girl looks so familiar. ]
You're that kindergartner who-- [ Her mouth sets into a grim line. ] Tamaki sure knows how to pick 'em.

It's not exactly your style, anyway. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
