Since the others were still behind and Gavin was the only one who'd answered his question, Charles looked straight at his boss. "Mr. Higareda, do you believe that speaking several languages will make your job, should you get it," His eyes travelled over to Althea and Ivy as he put emphasis on those four words "On the board easier or harder? Please explain why."
Listening as the other candidates continued answering their questions, Gavin turned his attention back to Charles as he said his name. He liked how he worded that answer. If he got the position on the board. Not when, and he definitely noted the look he gave to a few of the candidates as well. Some of the candidates were acting as if they already had the position on the board and to him that was just plain amusing. Very sure that they were already on the board, they were making comments as if they were.
Thinking on the question he'd been given, Gavin wasn't too sure on what they meant by that but had an idea so didn't question it. "I don't believe it will make it either to be honest. If we meet with those who speak other languages it may benefit the board, that it might be a language that I speak. But then it might not be as well. I pick up languages easily however, but it don't necessarily mean that I'll immediately understand what the person or being is saying." Yes, being, they might need to contact a goblin or even merpeople for reasons unbeknownst at the moment to him!
"Being harder for the job, I do not believe will occur however. I speak English fluently, it being my first language. Most of us here I believe it is our first language, though there are a few exceptions." Pausing for just a moment his gaze fell again on Charles, studying him trying to determine his reactions to what Gavin was saying. "So no, I don't believe that speaking a number of languages will make it easier nor hinder my job if elected as one of the board. Thank you."
