[Today, Fenris is trying out his letters. After the...ransom note incident, he's been a lot less keen to write anything down, but he's decided to give it another go. Of course, filtering this to himself or writing it on another piece of paper doesn't occur to him, so the journals get his attempts at writing scrawled all over them]



[He pauses, then tries the letter G a few more times, before giving a frustrated growl and scribbling it out. Fuck you, Letter G. It's at this point that he notices what he's been writing on. Oh. Pretend like it was on purpose, Fenris. Yup. He calmly dictates into the page;]

I have heard there was some kind of...dog creature on the grounds. Does anyone know what became of it? I fear I missed the chance to witness it for myself.

[Mostly because after seeing Andraste wandering around out there, he'd decided it wasn't a good idea to mess around with ghosts] Or if the spirits were here for any reason other than just to stand there.

Yes, Hawke has been teaching me again. [You know, between bouts of castle insanity that isn't a really good learning environment]

[wishmadeinfire]

Oh, that's wonderful. You were doing well up until the G.

[wolfuncaged]

The G always causes me some difficulty.

[wishmadeinfire]

Well, you'll get it. You did the other letters nicely, so just practice it and you'll get it.

[wolfuncaged]

I certainly hope so. It is a skill that should be very useful.

[If only so he can read all the friend fiction Isabela keeps writing]

[wishmadeinfire]

It does. Reading and writing are key skills in life - not mention you can have a bit of fun with them.

[wolfuncaged]

[A wry chuckle] Yes. A few of my friends have demonstrated that as such.

[wishmadeinfire]

If you like, I can pick out some easy books I saw in the library for you to practice reading on.

[wolfuncaged]

That would be very kind of you.

[wishmadeinfire]

Surely. I cannot promise they will be to interesting to start, but you will see - once you start it gets easy very quickly, and it will help with your letters.

[wolfuncaged]

I appreciate any help you can give me. I assure you, it will remain interesting.

[wishmadeinfire]

I shall see about picking up a few today then. I do not mind sitting and helping you as well, if your other mentor is busy.

[wolfuncaged]

That would be most helpful. I do not wish to take up all her time. Thank you.

[wishmadeinfire]

You are welcome, Fenris. It is what friends do, no?

[wolfuncaged]

So I am told. [Yup, still not buying that he can have friends just yet]

[wishmadeinfire]

Well, it is, trust me.
