[It was a rather easy question to answer, and Dot was quite delighted that he didn’t seem opposed to the idea, a good start for sure.] Hm, I suppose I’d rather learn this. And don’t you think it’d be nice to talk to someone in your native language? Though it might take a while for me to get the pronunciation correct. [Beneficial for both parties, she leaned forward, eager for him to agree.]

Well, if I want to learn another language then I’ll learn them as well. [Dot was stubborn, and occasionally she was also let out a bit of confidence. It would give her something to do, learning various languages was exciting.]

["If I want to learn another language then I’ll learn them as well.” Constantin’s mouth twitches. She’s ambitious, he’ll give her that. Languages aren’t easy - he grew up speaking Romanian and Russian so they come naturally to him, but learning English even as a teenager had been tough. Dot was young, but not a child. Still, far be it from him to discourage someone from wanting to learn. And she’s right: it would be nice to talk to someone in his native language.] 

You have good attitude. If I help you learn Romanian, in return you correct me vhen I say wrong grammar in English. This vay ve both learn. You like to learn? [It’s uncommon to meet someone with such a keen interest in learning new languages. He’s curious as to how far that ambition extends.]
