You could teach me the difference. I won't make you do that in French, at least.
If you end up reading a whole novel on it I bet you could.
[He has faith in Bruno, all right.]
At least a little. I mean, you'd probably mispronounce it, but if the vocabulary's all there . . . Non, Jean, Italie fait cela différemment.

You've been doing this for less than a month! It's a hell of a thing you can talk to me at all-- what, you're dying for compliments all of a sudden?

i thought we could do it together
a bonding exercise
actually i didn't think much at all i just kind of suggested it
i'll save that for christmas though
[See, this is why slicking up your hair is so much better. Or just tying it back. Either option gives you the freedom to text and also come downstairs quickly.]

[It's lucky they've kept the Boat in the backyard; he might have resorted to typing out Bruno's name in an increasing whine if he'd had to wait much longer.
The Boat looks good. It looks really good, actually, now that the final nail is hammered in and the paint has dried. It's a brilliant blue with golden trim; it's polished and waxed and looks just about ready to sail. They'd finished up last night, save for one essential addition. Polnareff had waved Bruno off for that, wanting to do it himself. You said you wanted me to name it, he'd said, and that had been that.
It's just a little past dawn. That ought to be symbolic, except the backyard is in the west and the sun rises in the east, so there's no actual light shining on the boat. But there ought to be, because it looks majestic, especially with the name that's painted carefully on the side.
FIS CODFATHER, their second child is named, and Polnareff's grin is somewhere between proud and utterly delighted.
(It was going to be FIS(h), but that likely would have been pushing it).]

[Bruno has no complaints about any of it, not even the name. Seeing it completed means, obviously, that it's come to an end, but it was nice being able to use skills and knowledge that Bruno hasn't used in nearly a decade again. And it let him get to know Polnareff a little better. Bruno smiles quietly.]
It looks good. [He tilts his head some to look up at Polnareff.] How does it feel to have built your very own boat?

Our very own boat.
[An important distinction. They both did an equal share of the physical labor, but Bruno was the one who'd come up with the plans. Polnareff pushes his hands in his pockets and comes over, standing next to Bruno.]
And I think we ought to try sailing it before I say anything about how I feel. If I go off on how proud I am and how amazing it looks-- which I am, and which it does-- the damn thing'll sink the second it hits water.
[. . . and he can't leave it at that, he just can't, so:]
You aren't going to say anything about the name?

I'm trying to be polite, [he teases. But really, he doesn't dislike the name at all. Not that he'd have room to complain anyway since he was the one who let Polnareff name it. Bruno nudges Polnareff lightly.] It won't sink. Be proud of it. You worked hard.
[He pulls a little face in response to that teasing. Maybe some other time he'd keep that joke going, but there's something a little more important he has to address.]
We worked hard. It's your boat too, you know. I'm not gonna take all the credit when it's you who knew how to do all this in the first place.

[It's the second time Polnareff's made that correction, but this time is more insistent and direct if he's willing to sacrifice joking around for it. There's a beat of silence with Bruno's smile flickering before he relents.]
Alright, alright. We worked hard.
