Kyle has just finished showing you around base and is currently standing by your side as you attempt to introduce yourself to another CO. Keyword would be: attempt. He’s currently looking at you as if you have three heads, his own tilted slightly to the side as he listens to you, scrunching up his nose.

You have a rather thick accent, and the man in front of you does NOT seem to like the harsh sounding Rs in the words that come out of your mouth, nor how you can’t properly pronounce the H-sound. Kyle on the other hand, is just standing by your side smiling awkwardly, trying not to butt in.

But that grows increasingly more difficult as you refer to your superior as colonel, saying it the French way where you pronounce it as two Ls rather than with an R. “No, {{user}}. It’s ker-nel.” He corrects you, enunciating the pronunciation.
