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).]

Well... can you write your alphabet down so I can look at it? And I'll write the English alphabet down so we can compare them.

[She nods and looks for a piece of paper and a pen.

Once found she'll work on writing down her Alphabet, which looks like this:

*okay that's totally foreign to him, but he'll write down the English alphabet for you anyway*

[mini-thief.livejournal.com]

[Which of course looks totally foreign to her.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*looks between the two alphabets*

Well. I guess we start at the beginning. A. B. C. D...

*points at each letter as he recites the alphabet, yes he's doing it in the song*

[mini-thief.livejournal.com]

[Watches, paying as close attention as she can. If she can start learning about basic machina already, then she can learn this!]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*once he's done, he looks at you*

There. That's the English alphabet.

[mini-thief.livejournal.com]

[Nods, biting her lip a little.]

Um, okay.

bed for me

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*gives you an encouraging look*

It might take a bit to remember, but that's okay.

Sleep well!

[mini-thief.livejournal.com]

[Smiles!]

Yup! I'll learn to read really well!

i did~

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*smiles in return, then fishes out a little workbook for you*

Here. This teaches you the letters in order, and how to write them. You can write in it.

Good. ^^

[mini-thief.livejournal.com]

[Smiles more!]

Thanks!

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. Try the first five letters right now, and I'll see how well you're doing.

[mini-thief.livejournal.com]

[Nods and gets to work on trying to learn and write the letters.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he'll supervise you as he grades other workbooks*

[mini-thief.livejournal.com]

[Good. Cause if she starts to get bored, she's likely to start drawing in the book instead.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he raps you over the head with his pen lightly*

That book is for practicing, not drawing.

[mini-thief.livejournal.com]

[Eeep! And that would be her best "Kicked puppy" look that she's giving you.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*stays strong!*

Let's see how far you got okay? Did you have any problems?

[mini-thief.livejournal.com]

[Darn it! Needs to work on that look.

She hands him the book. She didn't do too badly. But it looks like she may have put a little more effort into the drawing of a machina on the page...]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he just used to it from kids! and he'll be looking over your work*

... not bad. Now try the next five letters, and you'll be almost halfway through the whole alphabet.

[mini-thief.livejournal.com]

[Nods. And out of slight fear of getting hit by a pen, she wont draw this time.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*hey! he didn't hit you that hard! it was a tap!*

[mini-thief.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, but it was still unpleasant and unexpected!]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*you should pay more attention to your lessons then*
