Do you know what they call French kissing in France?

[ Of course you don't. That's why Ariadne is going to tell you. ]

There are a few different names for it -- "baiser profond", or deep kiss; "baiser avec la langue", or kiss with the tongue; and "baiser amoureux", or love kiss. In Austria, French kissing is slang for oral.

Any questions?

It's lovely, isn't it?

[ beat. ]

Fluently.

[boutant]

It is. That's why I studied there.

Somehow, I'm not surprised.

Europe tends to be the place for excellent architecture.

All part of the job.

[boutant]

It's my favorite, at least, even if it isn't all 'modern'.

The job?

[duplicities]

Modern architecture isn't the be all end all.

My job.

[boutant]

It's sleek, but I prefer the classics.

If I ask, will you tell me?

[duplicities]

No. It's best not to ask.

[ She considers this. ]

Will you teach me how to use throwing knives if I ask?

[duplicities]

Yes.

[boutant]

Natasha, will you teach me how to use throwing knives?

[duplicities]

Of course, Ariadne.

[boutant]

Thank you.

[duplicities]

It's my pleasure.
