He was relieved when she allowed herself to be directed back to the paper and did as he asked, it would be some time before she could write fully and more confidently especially with her wrists the way they were. He was proud of her as she moved the pencil up and down, she understood what he wanted and grinned. She spoke saying she heard of the alphabet which would surely make things easier on him. As she wrote the only thing she knew he looked at the lines she made and lifted an eyebrow.
“Ocean? Who taught you that? And that spells out a word. THe alphabet it contains all the letters you use to read.”
He said, then began drawing on his own paper, the first one being the letter A. He put the lowercase A right next to it. The very first letter in the alphabet. This had been, like many, the very first letter he learned when he was a pup.
“There are two ways of writing the letter, lowercase and capital. This is the first letter, A. I’ll get into more detail about why they have lowercase and capital later. For now I’ll just show you what the letters look like.”
Then he began writing down the other letters and showing them to her only stopping at G. He did this slowly but not so slow that it would bore her, and he stopped here so she can soak everything in. He didn’t want his lesson to go unlearned. She was a fast learner but he’ll put her through a good pace before stopping. This surely would occupy her mind at least for a while, which was what Jiva wanted for the most part. He knew how much trouble it was to forget something as an attack, though Jiva had never been the brunt of one he witnessed the aftermath of them on his dad and now Drin and he was scarred in that vision himself, though he couldn’t look at the woman as ugly now, she was just hurt and healing and he wanted to be there for the woman. This was the best way he knew how.
