Anyone speak French? ^_^

I could use some advice on some fic lines. *prostrates self*

It's been too long for my French to be of any use, but you might try [livejournal.com profile] linguaphiles for help.

Ooh, thank you!

Okay, I need one character saying "I was in raptures" (which I currently have as "J'etaise en extase") and the other answering with "I don't care" (which I have as "Je ne m'inquiete pas"). These two know each other fairly well and enjoy antagonism in their normal interactions, if that makes a difference. ^_^

"J'étais en extase"

Ooh, yes, I missed that accent in there. It is definitely present in my fic document, though, never fear!

As for the other, would it change things if the character saying "I don't care" is purposely trying to be rude? To rile the other character up? I want something really flat, really unamused. ^_^

Thank you again! This is so mightily helpful!
