[The fact of the matter is that while Bruno is exceptionally kind — potentially the to the detriment of himself if his mother was to be believed — he never truly does anything simply to be kind. Kindness without sincerity is hollow and meaningless. So when he tells Polnareff that he should teach him French, Polnareff is right to suspect Bruno isn't just suggesting a means of passing the rest of the night.]
[Polnareff's enthusiasm is infectious and Bruno comes fairly close to grinning himself when Polnareff scoots in closer, but he's also intently focused. Particularly, he's a little focused on Polnareff's mouth because although you could put a Spaniard or a Romanian in front of Bruno and he could likely guess accurately at what they were saying, French might as well come from a completely different language family with the way it sounds. So, Bruno's attentive to the formation of the sound from what he can observe.]
[Of course, he only dedicates that much attention because it's a simple sentence that Bruno can quickly translate into Italian in his mind. Bruno's a little slower repeating it back, being mindful of the pronunciation.]

Bonjour, je m'appelle Bruno.
