no
you would kinda need friends for that :(
i'm sure she's a really lovely lady but your right hand don't count

( more importantly: )

is that
hm
nah
it couldn't be
is that bitching i'm hearing??? that can't be what's happening here
would you like to try that sentence again for me, sweetheart?

[ailerons]

Be honest
Do you think about me and my right hand a lot?

"What am I lifting and putting back down 30 times because you can't make your mind up about where it's going", honey

[ :) ]

[haggle]

yeah
i dream about breaking it off and beating you with it
call that a new way to beat you off

you can pick yourself up and put your ass in the trash ❤️

[ailerons]

I love hearing what's on your mind.

[ Nothing can stop Jake Seresin because he can't read. Appropos of nothing: ]

Do you want hot or iced [ Coffee. ]

[haggle]

try harder if you really wanna be the only thing on it

( as far as offerings go: adequate. not bad. )

hot
it'll hurt more if i throw it in your face
blonde vanilla latte with sugar cookie syrup
don't let them cheat you on the whipped cream
thanks honey 💖

[ailerons]

Пожалуйста

[ It takes him two whole minutes to spell it. ]

[haggle]

( it takes her more than two whole minutes (three, in fact) to translate it. three more to comprehend it coming from jake's phone. five more minutes to sit with the feeling bubbling up in her chest, overflowing like a warm bubble bath. incriminatingly, ani's typing bubbles appear and disappear three times, before: )

oh, very impressive work, lieutenant show-off
👏👏

( coolly, casually affectionate. not derogatory. )

so, is that all you got?
c'mon, don't just stop there. show me what else you can do
i'm rooting for a full sentence this time. pull through for me, hotshot

[ailerons]

I'm on Chapter 3, Ani
They cover "blonde vanilla latte with sugar cookie syrup extra whipped cream" on Ch 21

[ Which only sounds like a no. Like Jake's ever been gunshy in his fucking life. ]

Меня зовут Jake. Рад встрече.

I really should tell you I do all my best work in person, Professor

[haggle]

you're so close, rosetta stone ❤️
just a little beginner's mistake. let me fix that for you
Меня зовут Тупица. Приятно познакомиться, ты богиня.
see? much better

( a thoughtful heartbeat between messages, then a tiptoe of genuine, cautious interest: )

you're seriously studying? for real?
books without pictures and everything?
cause i only save my office hours for real dedicated students

[ailerons]

In three weeks when I can read that this'll be a great joke, sweetheart

[ At an educated guess. "Without pictures and everything." Please. ]

In case you haven't noticed, I'm very impressive
It was this or pashto [ As if that's a regular use of his time. ]
And I love a class with an oral presentation

[haggle]

😉
sink or swim, sailor

( in other words: no cheating, no assistance, no spoilers. just hard-fought translation. )

uh huh. and it's all a crazy coincidence you chose my mother tongue. lucky little old me
lucky little old you too. i've got something special for you to practice your technique on
really helps with learning how to roll your r's right
