thinking abt sylus trying to learn filipino and getting the affixes mixed up... in an attempt to be cute, he asks you to sing to him, but says "kumanta ka sa akin" instead of "kantahan mo ako" (both literally meaning as "sing to me" but the first one sounds like a command and sounds a little grammatically off to my ear) so you laugh and say playfully "is that an order?" and his brow furrows because he knows he's gotten it wrong. and he asks how to say it correctly and when you tell him, his eyes are on your lips the whole time. did he say it wrong on purpose to make you laugh? who knows π
and he's constantly using you to practice too, because "how am i going to get these complex verb forms right if you don't help me, kitten?" and he's using that stupid sexy voice to get his way. sometimes he almost makes even the incorrect phrases sound okay and he gets all smug when you take a second or two to respond because you're recovering from the still-unfamiliar sound of him speaking in filipino, except he attributes it to his own impressive language aptitude (which he does have but it's not applicable at this moment, sylus, you big ego'd bastard)
