He had heard that a French accent was very easy to listen to, and while his last experience had been something of an exception, listening to Gabrielle speak made him think the people who told him that, were absolutely right. Her tone was warm and buttery, with a certain musicality to it that he was sure came naturally to her. Add that to her bright and accepting demeanor, and you have a very happy Marshall, to have Gabby be his second interaction since arriving at his new school.<br/><strong>"You make it sound so good, I'm really excited now."</strong>he'd reply through his wide grin. His attention having been on both Gabby and the chef making the crepes, was now turned directly to Gabby.<br/><br/><strong>"Marshall Wood…"</strong>He replied while reaching out to politely take her fingers into a gentle grasp...<br/>He could remember having asked one of his more worldly professors about greeting people in other countries. Primarily, if people actually kissed the back of each other's hands.<br/><em>"...I mean, if two people know each other very well, they may be more inclined to a friendly kiss. But really, it's the 21st century, people don't just go around kissing strangers on the hand. It's really just not hygienic anymore, if it ever was…"</em>A response that had gotten a good chuckle from Marshall.<em>"...if someone offers you their hand, and you want to be polite, just grasp it like this...and bow your head a little. Any more than that and people will think you're trying out for Hamlet, or something…"</em><br/>...then he bowed his head a little towards her hand, while keeping his eyes, and smile, locked with her's.<br/><br/><strong>"...yeah, American. Philadelphia, specifically. I can say the same, it's been really exciting to see so many different people, since I've been here. But honestly, I think I'm more surprised by how many things are actually so similar."</strong><br/>When Gabby turned her attention to a member of the wait staff, he turned his attention back to the crepe chef, and all the options laid out before him of what you can have your crepe filled with. But his attention was called back to Gabby when she spoke again.<br/><strong>"...I think I'll have to go with your recommendation. After all, I definitely want to make sure I get the best crepe experience possible."</strong><br/><br/>Suddenly his attention was pulled to another pair who suddenly burst into the crepe station area. Another girl, who appeared to be dragging around her boyfriend like a dog on a leash.<br/>Well, he didn't know if they were together like that, just the way it had come off. But the girl did seem particularly focused on Gabby's shoes, which gave him a chance to give his order to the crepe chef, who had been waiting for him.<br/><strong>"...I guess I'll have a sweet and a savory crepe...just whatever you think is best, I'll trust you. But the savory one I'll have with some of that hollandaise sauce…"</strong><br/><br/>When he turned back to his group of fellow students, it was in time for Jack to give a nod and introduce himself. Seeing as the girls seemed keen to say hi and talk about shoes first, Marshall offered his hand out to the other guy.<br/><strong>"Hi there, Marshall, good to meet you."</strong>
