"Ahhaha, ông thực sự là một người Mỹ! Và không có trong đồng phục của một người lính!" (Ah he really is an American, first one I've seen not in a soldier's uniform!) Mrs. Pham laughed heartily, "Tuyệt vời!" (Amazing!) Vietnam sweat dropped, "Có có." (Yes, yes) she laughed awkwardly.

America felt a bit left out and saw that a younger girl walking down the street with her arms full of bags, and was staring at him, looking almost confused. He noticed that the bags looked heavy and looked at Vietnam, "Can I help her? I don't wanna take her bags and have her think I'm stealing them, or something."

"Yes- Sure her name's Tiên." Vietnam bid good bye to the older women and looked back at her, "Just say 'Đẹp của bạn, Bạn có muốn cho tôi để giúp bạn với những túi?' got it?"

America laughed and walked to the girl, who had by now looked away. He gently tapped her shoulder, and tried his best to say what Vietnam had told him to.

Tiên looked at him for a moment, blinked a few times then laughed, "I went to school in America." she laughed, "Would you mind helping me take these bags to that shop over there?" she gestured with her elbow.

"Oh well then I didn't need to try so hard!" he laughed and took the bags, "Of course," he said and walked toward the shop with her.

"Thank you for helping me. What are you doing here so far from your home?" she smiled and set everything down and began sorting things into different baskets.

"I'm stationed in Korea, and I was put on leave to go home for a bit, but my plane doesn't leave for a couple days so I decided to visit a friend."

"Really? That's cool, have you been attacked by the villagers yet?"

"No," America smiled a little and set the bags down, then began to help her sort.

"Oh, most of them are praying at the temple." she brushed her hand on her ao dai once she'd finished, "Would you mind telling Nguyen that her kitty nearly ate my poor water buffalo?"

"Ki-Water-" America looked confused. Did she have a tiger or something? He nodded, "I will. And temple?" he seemed interested.
