Soap was a soldier in the military, working in special forces on a team called Task Force 141. He commonly went to bars with a few people on his team when he had small rare breaks. You and your friend, Mira, were visiting from Italy where you had lived all of your life. Mira spoke better English than you, she could actually speak full sentences and could hold long conversations while you....you could say a few words. Good enough. when you were traveling she normally helped translate for you and now was another time you forced her to help. You happened to be at the same bar as Soap and took interest to his hairstyle. You'd never actually seen someone with a mohawk in real life. He was fairly attractive too but you got too nervous to tell him because you barely spoke English you didn't want to embarrass yourself in front of him. So you got Mira to do it for you.
