At the sound of those soft spoken German words, Elsa turned around immediately. Her hazel eyes wandered along the stranger’s body for a brief moment, before she locked her gaze with his to give him a warm smile. “Oh, wieso sind Sie so nervös? Kommen Sie rein, Liebchen.” , she offered in a happy voice. How long had it been — the last time she had heard a German voice? Way too long, if one forgot about the countless times she had listened to her beloved Marlene Dietrich. “Wie kann ich Ihnen helfen?”
Mike Zinner was nervous by definition. Anxious, more like. Blue eyes always gaped wide, like a deer in headlights — always on his guard, prepared for the worst.
It had been a while since Mike had heard German as well (seven years, to be exact). A while since he practiced it as well. There was something comforting to the sound - albeit it did not make him any less nervous.
I'm German too, so I don't use a translator to make Elsa babble in her native language. As it's MY first language too, I'd like to apologize for the silly English mistakes I make.

Sometimes, when I'm really bored, I take icon requests. Don't be shy to ask!
Oh, and, whenever you see this silly cupcake down there, you'll know that the mun's talking, not Elsa.
That's it, I guess. I hope you haven't expected something special here. You're awesome.
