Gideon expresses a wish for the other person to speak in ordinary prose rather than using the unusual or poetic language they currently employ. His tone shows a mix of mild frustration and a desire for clear, straightforward communication. This moment highlights his preference for practicality and simplicity in conversation, contrasting with the more elaborate speech style of the other individual.
