[ see, america doesn't know what's going on in souji's head enough to understanding that his presence? might not be as lighthearted as he hopes! he's rolling with it in the aggressively friendly way that he does but besides that... no, he's not really aware of anything else going on here.

but he is curious about the lack of surprise. souji certainly doesn't look modern but he takes america's explanation pretty calmly. that's fine, america prefers that, but the lack of it in cerealia makes him question when he does get it. he'll ask him -- right after he solves this handshake thing. ]

Oh, oh. Right. I'm offering you a handshake, dude! When two people meet, usually it's custom back home to shake their hand. I guess it's sort of the equivalent of a bow for y'all. [ he takes his right hand with his left and gives it a firm shake. ] Sort of like that. You don't have to shake my hand though, it's cool. Just sort of habit for me!

[ and then he smiles and drops his hands back to the bench, all done. ]

You're not really surprised I'm a country though, are ya?
