[Gladio doesn't bother letting this guy know he's definitely familiar with the English terms. Gladio considers himself lucky he doesn't have a noticeable accent, but that also leads to people assuming he's a born and raised American.
Which... isn't the worst assumption, just a wrong one.]
That's a lotta animals. Pretty nice of you to go out of your way to help out with his pets.
[Gladio would just ignore them. They're the roommate's problem.
[He sort of has to. Not that Ignis will mention so. It's sort of a rude, blunt statement to make. Even if it's very much true. So he just decides to say nothing about the comment and move on.
Surprisingly enough, he didn't expect an actual handshake out of this or an introduction. Apparently the man has manners after all. Ignis waits a moment before extending his own hand (he almost expects Gladio to yank away) to take the other's.]
Ignis. I'm no longer a student, these are just for personal reference to assist with my job. I'm a caregiver, recently moved here.
[Very smoothly, with little inflection:] The accent sort of gives it away.

Gladio offers a hand to shake.]
Name's Gladio. You a nursing student?
[He nods to the other books the guy has.]
