"Can you speak Japanese?" Joćo was INTRIGUED. Hence the questions.
"
Joćo," she repeated, hoping that she didn't butcher his name too horribly. Was the J the only consonant in his name? That was rather unique, wasn't it? Not to mention there was some sort of interesting accent there on the middle vowel, almost making it unrecognizable to the Gryffindor. She remembered seeing his name on the world map that she had been in charge of a few terms back for their prefect event. His name had been LONG. "
You're...from Brazil, right?" she remembered that detail.
Because THIS wasn't a somewhat awkward conversation already. Nope.
Nodding softly, Kurumi's violet gaze met his. "
I can. Mother...," she winced slightly at mentioning her mother so casually. It still stung...knowing she was gone. "
...mother insisted that my brother and I learn it first and then English."
