No schooling. Gutter trash.

[and tyki thwaps her lightly on the nose] Oi, that's a harsh way to put it.

[ The magpie starts cackling. Lavi just makes a face. ]

Good thing we've got a library here. That quote means that you do things you normally wouldn't when things are desperate.

[stigmatize]

I'm sure the library will be more helpful once my friends are done teaching me how to fully read?

Good quote, though.

[ ACTUALLY LOOKS OFFENDED YOU CAN'T READ. ]

They're too slow!! What's their problem??

Which friends? [ Are they even qualified? ]

[stigmatize]

Uh, Felix, Winter, maybe Lepus in the future. It's gotten to be more of a problem than it was at home...

[looks actually. sort of dere for a moment]

...They're a helpful bunch.

[neverforgets]

[ A little unsettled to see that look. Not fine with knowing Tyki actually has real friends. But... also slightly mollified. ]

I'd bet Winter's a good teacher.

Lepus is too busy pickling himself. [ Lavi rolls his eye. ]

[stigmatize]

[he'd never hurt them willingly 8(]

Winter's patient...

[opens his mouth to defend lepus and then just shrugs.] At least he's a cyborg. His liver will be fine, if nothing else.

[neverforgets]

Hadn't thought of that. Well, then, it's no problem.

[ Grinds his teeth for a second, weighing his thoughts. ]

... I could help, too. If you want. Or as a last resort. [ It's grudging and he can't hide that fact. ]

[stigmatize]

[faint surprise]

Ah, maybe as a last resort. Thanks...?

[neverforgets]

[ Folds his arms over his chest, and the magpie gets all ruffled. ]

It's bullshit you can't read, that's all. Whatever your background. Somebody should've taught you before now. [ Doesn't know who, but that's a minor detail!! ]

[stigmatize]

Yeah, the guards, or the giant jungle lizards?

[it's really more of a wry and... tired... tone than an accusatory or offended one.]

[neverforgets]

[ Sigh. ]

If the jungle lizards were literate, they dropped the ball. [ Hmph. ]

[stigmatize]

I guess it's natural a "Bookman" would be indignant about it.
