I'm sure someone here knows this, so... Ah, when a Westerner holds out an empty hand towards you, what does it mean? It's sort of embarrassing to have to ask, but...

You're probably talking about a handshake. It usually means "hello" or "nice to meet you", but can also be used as a way to show agreement.

[not_blushing]

Oh...Is that what it means?

...W-what was I supposed to do about it?

Voice

[spirit_whispers]

Yes. It's all situational, really.

Hm...how to explain. Probably best to switch to video.

[the video feed starts up] Ok, you grasp their hand with the same that they offered. So if they hold out their right you use your right hand as well. They'll grip your hand a bit too. [She extends out her right arm and does a pretend hand shake] Then you shake, anywhere between 1 and 3 times, and let go. [Video clicks off]

I hope that made sense. I never thought how odd it might be to explain a handshake to someone.

Hm...I think I understand now! Thank you very much...Yamanami, come here. I need to try something.

[pinkmineralgirl]

That's a handshake Mister Kondou

[not_blushing]

I realize that now...we don't really, ah, shake hands where I come from.

[pinkmineralgirl]

Then what do you do?

[not_blushing]

We bow, of course...

I see no reason to side with anyone at this juncture.

[not_blushing]

I hadn't thought it in your character to turn a blind eye to tyranny.

[Private to Kondou | Slightly hackable ]

[japansnewdawn]

You are once again making the assumption that I care about this place. This is not Japan.

[not_blushing]

These are still innocent people.
