Chapter Thirteen :: Text

I know that some of you have expressed an interest in learning the native language around here. And I know that I've already offered to teach a fair number of you. General Cross - while helping us with other tasks - also knows the language though I'm not sure that he'd like me much for offering his lessons as well, so I'll keep it to just me. We'll need something to do in the winter months and lessons seemed like a good idea on keeping warm.

So far I know that I'm helping both Almas, Kiriko, and [Insert a name here that mun forgot because her memory is not like Lavi's.]. And I'm still helping Yorda with her English.

I'm going to go search around the school tomorrow and see if I can salvage what hasn't already been salvaged for writing materials and the like. If I don't find anything I'll be taking the chalkboard I put up on the bridge asking for aid down and use that. But the lessons will encompass speaking, reading, and writing of the language as well as learning their currency. We don't know when it might come in handy.

If you'd like to sign up, feel free to say so. We'll probably be meeting after noon to make the most of the light outside until winter.

It's very kind of you to offer. I'd like to sign up.

It'll be a good idea for at least one of you guys to learn it if you're going to go in town together. Rin could play a mute if he doesn't want to learn, I guess.

Nii-san's never been very patient when it comes to schooling, so that's probably for the best.

i'd like to learn, but how frequent and how long do you think lessons will be?

[He has a list of other things to get done, and as Lavi said, even daylight is a resource here.]

Probably no more than two or three hours every other day. Don't want to keep everyone from doing what they want or need to do. Still wanna sign up, Allen?

count me in.

[No harm giving it a shot. If it turns out it's taking up time that could be better spent, say, scouting for a suitable location for that fallback base, he'll try to work around it then.]
