follow up to my previous ask to Alphameter- more context; Scout and Spy are talking, Spy just explained a thing that’s basic knowledge to the people who’ve been in the situation/setting longer, and now he has to do it a second time with a second thing
excerpt; The Frenchman pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. “[French interjection]…On every (speech continues etc.)
I think just mon Dieu would work best ? ty for all the info !!
so- short answer ?
yes it fits
long answer ? I do not know if you will like this but here is a very dad answer to this.
when an exhausted parent explains several times something to their neurodivergent kid, they start "counting" the times they gave the explanation. they just naturally do it.
my parents call this "éditions" (lit : publication). Première édition (when they already expect my ass to just not understand shit), seconde édition, tho past that they may just say troisième or troisième fois (third, third time), and theyll also say shit like dernière édition/dernière fois (last time, warning they will not repeat).
So. you could have mon Dieu (or bon sang), or you could have, seconde édition, because lets be real spy aint having no fuckin patience with this brat
