[ He might not understand a single word, but not too long ago he's been taught that words aren't everything. Instead of sitting down, he walks over to the chair and takes it by its back, showing Dia that she should take her seat. He might need some help with pushing the chair closer to the table, but he'll worry about that later.
Laphicet's doing all that wearing a wide smile, too. Hopefully, that'll reassure her, even if just a bit! Although, he can understand how frustrating it is when you can't communicate. ]
Let's eat together, alright?
[ If the words can't get through, maybe at least his intentions will! ]
[It does reassure her, and when Laphicet gets into his chair she will helpfully push it closer to the table. They didn't need words to communicate, right? Not all things needed talking.]
Thanks for the food.
[In japanese again. Maybe? This would be a perfect chance to teach Laphicet some basic phrases? If he wanted to of course.]
[ It definitely helps; he repeats right after her, enthusiastically: ]
Itadakimasu!
[ With that, he finally starts eating as well. Not a minute passes when he holds up his cup and points to Dia and then to his own mouth—most likely to hear how is it called in her language. ]
I hope we'll be able to talk normally soon...
[ They've just started to know each other, this is so unfair...even if picking up a new language is fun. ]
[ He even mimics the thumbs up despite knowing its meaning. Well, they can't talk normally, but maybe there's a way around it? Laphicet perks up suddenly and stretches his open palm forward like he'd like to tell her to wait for him for a moment. Shortly, he scurries to his own room to grab a piece of paper and something to write. When he's finally back, Dia will receive a short note: ]
Miss Dia, can you read this? What is your language called?

[Oh god this is turning out so bad on her end. She's trying really hard to make sense to Laphicet.]
I...am sorry.
[Sorry that she can't really talk to him very well right now. That communicating is incredibly difficult for the both of them.]

[ He's a fast learner, but mistakes here and there can happen when you pick up a whole new language, right? ]

[She shakes her head. Taking a sip of her drink to wash down the bite she had just taken.]
Ita-daki-masu.
[She repeats it for him, hoping that maybe the break down would help.]

Soon...
[She feels bad she can't communicate better either. She wishes that she could.]
