[he blinks at the randomness of the comment.] ...Okay? Can't say I know terribly much about that language, though. But you played for one of the teams over there though, right? [he keeps up with his volleyball teams, just for the same reason he's sure ushijima does. it also may or may not have come up in one of his phone convos with iwachan. (so yes iwachan he does listen to the riveting conversations about the japanese national volleyball team!) he can't help the teasing smirk that washes across his face as he reaches up to tuck a stray strand of hair behind his ear.] How fluent in it are you?

[he shrugs] It didn't stop you before when we were younger, what with you going on and on about how weak my team was and... what was it? My insignificant pride? Ring any bells Ushiwaka??
