Ordered in French, got a real reply, and DIDN’T panic

Small one but it's mine. Bakery in Lyon. I asked for two croissants, she asked something back about the bag, and instead of freezing I just... understood and answered. Cringed a little at my accent. Did it anyway. That's the whole game — cringe is the point, it means you're in the arena.

Not small at all. The not-freezing is the whole win — the croissants are a bonus. Accent cringe means you were in the arena instead of the bleachers.
