It had barely dawned on the smoky lady that language would be an issue, until now. In Insieme, Italian-speaking was common, and of course, the same went for back home in Italy, but she couldn't expect everyone here to know that particular tongue just for her. Antonella's English speaking was painfully limited to sloppy, chopped-up sentences at best. Thankfully she could usually pick out words she recognized when others spoke, enough words so that she could usually understand the basics. But, listening and speaking were two different entities.[/html]
Her issues aside, she did her best to listen, to capture as much english as she could and simultaneously gather up the words to reply. It sounded happy, not angry in the least, which was certainly a plus. Also, it sounded like an introduction for the most part with some other unknown items afterwards. She only wished she could understand the unknowns, but English just was not her forte. "Antonella Gallo, of Insieme." she said, gesturing to herself since she didn't know how to make the introduction besides providing the facts. Even the simple "of" between the name and pack was difficult and it felt terribly foreign on her accented tongue.
"Bad English, Italiano che lei vede." she said, not meaning to say much in Italian in case it would be insulting to Naniko and the young boy, Sirius. She felt kind of bad for not being able to carry on a proper conversation, and realized that she would probably prove to be quite frustrating for any company she'd come across.
