✖ 002, S.O.S.
[Greetings, Asgard! Your bonafide Bonnefoy seems to be well and situated in Freya by now, which is a good thing. His greeting, however, is mildly er, nonexistent and he sounds almost up to his eyeballs in unsures.]
I have ah-- [he pauses, looking at something off-screen rather critically; those fine features and MANLY STUBBLE crinkling in distaste as if he just imagined his mother naked and frolicking with Rome... Which he'd had the misfortune of seeing once, actually--] Now, mes amis! I am not a judgmental man. [He just lies like a rug]
Mais-- Well, I could not help but notice the overwhelming amount of English that have been brought as fellow Traveler to Asgard.
[The hidden, or not so hidden message is I am DROWNING in the ENGLISH. Send help. ]
I am just wondering if there is a reason for this favoritism, hm? Why not say-- the French? If they wanted their city to be colorful again my culture is much more familiar with the expression. No offense, hm? Consider it a case of being homesick...
[He smiles, disarmingly, perhaps, fumbling with his pack of cigarettes before flicking the transmission off. WAY TO LITERALLY OFFEND HALF OF ASGARD, FRANCIS.]

Well, I am a nation. France, to be specific, though I have been called by different names-- [Oh, and he's not referring to all the colorful ones he's been called in the past and certainly not 'surrender monkey' because hell, where'd THAT come from?] A personification. See, I have appeared to be a twenty-six year old man for the past century or so.

[The look of curiosity is very genuine, and not at all faked for once. It's a very strange concept to wrap her head around. How does that even work? But luckily Diva really isn't much of a thinker, so she can just sort of accept it as something very strange. It's not like she's normal herself.]
...Ah, what should I call you, then? Just "France?" [clearly this is the most important thing to address, yes]
no subject
Have a thoughtful look, Diva.]
Well, my name is France, though along the line more human names developed. For ease to some, as it were. It depends on whether or not you wish to call me for what I am or Francis.
[CLEARLY WAS APPEASING THE ENGLISH WITH THAT. B( The nicer French folk go for Francois.]
