doing that positive role model thing

[He's sitting in the library, in that little corner that he's set up as a kind of classroom. There are a number of books stacked on the table, some simple math problems on the chalkboard, and he's sitting and grading a workbook with a red pen. Maybe he should take a break eventually, but right now, he's dealing with multiplication.]

I really need to get those times tables...



[OOC: Feel free to interrupt! I forget whoall Ri promised to teach (besides his Little Brother).]

Six is about the age one should learn how to read, yes. Kairi knows a bit herself... Children enjoy using their imaginations. Perhaps you could encourage him to learn by mentioning the possibilities of reading?

You could always inadvertently teach him. Perhaps treat it similarly to a game or use visuals.

Ah, similar to Kairi, then, although recently she's remained close to me, due to unfortunate circumstances.

It was a few weeks ago, but... well, I assure you that it wasn't intentional.

Likewise. It's one experience that I'd rather not repeat.

It wasn't a pleasant experience, by any means, temporary or not.

The heartless from before, I suppose. She's but another Kairi, albeit one lacking purity.

Absolutely nothing; she seems to merely enjoy causing trouble at the misfortune of others.

Even so, she would likely return.

The question, then, is whether or not she'll be persuaded.
