@ViolentVioletGideon chose to ignore the questioning glance, pretending not to notice. Looking around with a soft cough, his sharp features returned to their commonplace as his face turned slightly more stern. Self consciously gripping his hands into fists and releasing as if it was some nervous tick.
"Would it be easier for you if I spoke in English?""Many of the students here wouldn't understand most of it, since they don't pay much attention to such a commonplace language."With a soft chuckle, Gideon finally returned eye contact with Emilia.
"I believe speaking in Japanese would be beneficial for me, so please allow us to keep it this way." He answers in Japanese. His mannerism of speech is stiff, almost constricting. It's likely that he took some crash course on short notice so that he would not be helpless. In fact, if someone watched him closely, it would soon become apparent that he was avoiding interaction as to not embarrass himself or needlessly offend others. Obviously his understanding of Japan's culture was even more rudimentary than his speech.
Observing the increasing influx of students, Gideon became slightly more anxious to get moving with the crowd to the opening ceremony, but he did not say anything simply allowing the interaction between him and Emilia to continue. As a matter of fact, if Emilia had not initiated a conversation, Gideon would've likely withdrawn into himself with half-lidded eyes and a counterproductive attitude.
