Buuuaaahh...?

[Wonderweiss echoes the last of the Swede's words, lightly tugging at one of the blonde locks hanging across his face as he stares back in confusion.]

[ The Swede tries to explain... it is a little bit hard. ] Y... you... can be not blonde... and be dumb. [ He blinks. ] Ja?

[Wonderweiss tries to follow along... it is also a bit hard.]

............

[The little arrancar is aware, in a vague and fuzzy sort of way, that he is very not-smart compared to his fellows. Actively thinking about his thinking like this, though, is a challenge, and no matter how he tries he can't figure out what any of this is supposed to have do with hair color. For a lengthy moment he just stares blankly back, blinking owlishly.]

["You can be not-blonde..." Maybe that's supposed to be the point, though? Wonderweiss could have brown or blue or black or auburn hair and still be Wonderweiss..? Yes, that feels like a thing that's right!]

Aaah!

[With a sharp, affirmative sound, Wonderweiss nods decisively, grinning up at the Swede. Ja, he gets it. ~~Kind of. Maybe.~~]

[ Is... is this his family. Why do they even have the same teeth... this looks like him before puberty gave him those manly features. Is it a baby Swede?? ]

...a... are you from Sweden as well... [ He never met another Swede before! This has to be one. But he can't say words. Maybe he can only speak Swedish.

But the Swede forgot all his Swedish. ]

You are a little small Swede? Ja?

[~~Some of the dead people whose spirits combined to make Wonderweiss might have been Swedish?~~]

[He shakes his head; this one he knows the answer to.]

Arrancar.

[The word is still somewhat smudged and slurred on Wonderweiss' tongue, but it's clearer than anything else he's said thus far. One hand gripping the bony 'crown' that adorns his forehead, he demonstrates by pulling the mask remnant in one direction after another, the force of each motion tugging his head along slightly each time. Arrancar- ripped mask. You see?]

Oh... I don't know... what that means. You are not from Sweden? [ The Swede is a very simple pirate from the 1700s, any other of his time would be screaming witchcraft or demons but Swede is too slow even for that. He just smiles and shyly twirls his hair. ]

I like your crown... I only have a bandana.... but I am no one fancy. I am happy you will be my friend? [ He's always looking to make friends and is open to anyone. ]

[Wonderweiss starts to frown a little when his explanation fails- he has neither the words nor the wits to make it any clearer- but is quickly distracted when the Swede continues talking. Earlier communication hiccup already half-forgotten, he grins at the compliment and attempts to return it.]

Aiiyiiia annannaa..... eefreeens!

[He likes the pirate's pretty bandana and would be more than happy to be friends! There aren't many people who actually take the time to talk with Wonderweiss like this, rather than talking at him or talking over him. You don't seem to mind his not-smartness or how he struggles with words and you treat him just like any other person- that's already more than halfway to being a potential friend as far as he's concerned.]

(Apologies for the delay and for any formatting weirdness; my internet abruptly died on me last night and I had to c&p this into a word processor)<

[ The Swede is not very bright himself, he can speak pretty well but- but that's about it... everything he says is nonsense but he is a complete sweetheart. He'd never think to judge anyone, he's just happy to talk to someone. His crewmates don't really talk to him either, he knows what it's like! ]

I... I will make you a friendship bracelet, okej? [ He'd never met anyone more confused than himself and that means he now has to take care of someone. Uh oh. ]

I am nervous... I never take care of anyone before...

(NP! <3 boo internet)

'kej!

[Wonderweiss echoes happily, bouncing a little in excitement before a slowly percolating realization pulls his attention away from thoughts of bracelets. There's something important that he's forgetting, isn't he? He was here for some sort of reason, he thinks, so is there something he should be doing right now...?]

A-aah!

[Abruptly coming to a decision, he thrusts out a hand in a belated greeting. Shaking hands, that's what you're supposed to do when meeting a friend, right?]

[ The Swede is on shore leave, he has half a day to do as he likes before his crewmates Roach and Mr. Buttons come pick him up. The best time to make friends! He shyly shakes his head, smiling. ] D... don't worry, I keep you safe... I will try. When the English come you can also hide in my barrel.
