The look on Ivan's face could almost be called comical, his eyes going wide and his jaw dropping at first before it turns into a smile again, this time one of excitement and relief. "Are you Russian?" Not that his accent sounds like it, but Ivan cannot quite imagine how someone would speak another language so well without being from that area. A language not French, anyway, because French is a normal adult lanugage apparently, and he can't understand a word but if all adults speak it surely they have to speak it well to not lose face.
