7th ☆ [Bowl-O-Rama with mylife4food]

[adropofjupiter]

[Now this was an odd place to suddenly find oneself in. Alone.

Oh wait... there was some guy slumped in a chair next to her. She'd never seen him before and leaned close to get a look at him. Okay, so he was cute, but cute wasn't important right then. What was important was figuring out where the hell she was and then figuring out how she got there.

So she left the sleeping guy there and wandered deeper into the belly of the... Bowl-O-Rama? At least that's what the sign over the wood floor area said. Huh. The witch goes exploring and finds the doors are locked.

Huh. Might as well see if there's anything to steal aside from a bunch of ugly shoes, heavy balls and pencils.]

Yeah, that's what's weird.

...you are human, right? [peeeeeeeeeeeers]

[mylife4food.livejournal.com]

Of course I'm human.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Just making sure. Can't really tell here.

[mylife4food.livejournal.com]

I knew two dragons though.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Cool! One of my neighbors is a baby dragon; he's really cute.

[mylife4food.livejournal.com]

I was surprised because dragons can make themselves look like humans!

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Dragons naturally possess a great amount of magic. Only makes sense they can transform how they like.

[mylife4food.livejournal.com]

Dragons were supposed to be dead for a really long time so no one knows anything about them.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

...kinda same here. But there's a lot written about dragons.

[mylife4food.livejournal.com]

I...can't really read so...

I know my letters and can write my name! But...I have trouble reading and writing. I was never taught how to.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

We are so changing that. Reading is really important.

[no wonder everyone thinks his people are uneducated barbarians. They... kinda are.]

I'm gonna teach you how to read.

[mylife4food.livejournal.com]

[Hey man, reading is reserved for nobles and knights]

R-Really! I do not know how to thank you!

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

You do realize this is going to take a long time. We can start tonight but we'll have to meet once a week, you're going to have to practice a lot and work hard no matter how frustrating it gets.

Can you give me that kind of dedication?

[mylife4food.livejournal.com]

Of course, I promise.

You may not know of those from Sacae but we hold our honor high and keep our promises no matter what. Even if those promises will drive us to death.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Good because not knowing how to read could be a matter of life or death. You never know here...

[She gives him a grin]

Marisa Kirisame.

[mylife4food.livejournal.com]

It is, um...a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Lady Marisa.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[She'd tell him he didn't need to call her 'Lady' Marisa, but she liked the sound of it.]

Okay, let's go get another drink and find something to read. There's gotta be something around here...

[mylife4food.livejournal.com]

Thank you but I do not need a drink. Would you like me to bring you one?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

I'll need you to do your knightly duty and open my beer, ze.

[Looking around for a book. Apparently she finds a sappy discarded dime romance novel some girl left. Well, it'll work...]

[mylife4food.livejournal.com]

[Oh right, she did have that second one. Which he popped open for her and returned it.]

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Awesome. Thanks.

[Taking said beer and then pointing to the chair next to her by the scoring table she's seated at.]

Sit. I found a book laying around, so we'll work with this one. But first I want you to write out your letters and tell me what they are first. I know you said you knew them, but this'll help me figure out how to start.

[mylife4food.livejournal.com]

[He grabs a seat....and scoring pencil and paper. With that, he writes down the alphabet as neat as can be and repeats them outloud. He's done this enough that he knows it by heart.]

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Okay... And you said you could write your name?
