Can I help you?
Wait a minute; let me retract my sentence.
Allow me to be of assistance?
Milady, you need to tie your shoe.

Don’t you dare shake your head at me
or roll your eyes like a loading screen.
I don’t care if you are in a hurry like a hurricane.
You need to tie your shoe, please.

Now, you are laughing at me?
Give me a moment; your cackle deafened my ear.
Allow me to further amuse you.
You need to tie your shoe.

Why do you stare at me with your torch-lit eyes?
One simple request is all I ask.
So simple, even difficulty can comprehend.
Milady, you need to tie your dress shoe.
