[Hello there Barge. Cass is in the library, sitting on the floor with a bunch of books spread around her. When she turns the feed on, she's got a copy of A Tale of Two Cities in her hands. She'd recognized it as the book she had tried to read when she had stayed at Tim's apartment, but it was only the spine and the cover she knew. She still has no idea what it's about, or even what it is.]

Um. Don't know lots of things. Trying to learn. Reading, how to... use comm. But...

[Well, staring at words and trying to will them into making sense? It's not very effective.]

Need help. Had offers. Cashing in. [It's possible she got that phrase from Dean.] In library. Anyone can come, need... lots of help.


(ooc: ABSOLUTELY ANYONE is welcome to come and see Cass about reading, even if they haven't previously talked to her about helping out. Come and poke the little bat!)

[Cass is taking a break from staring uselessly at the words in the books while she waits for Laura. It's not helping and just making her feel overwhelmed, so when Laura arrives, she'll find Cass laying down on the floor with the books scattered around her to make room.

She might be considering a nap.]

[Laura approaches her quietly, not wanting to disturb anyone else who may be reading nearby. She kneels down and taps Cass gently on the shoulder, looking concerned.]

Are you feeling unwell? We can save the first lesson for another day if you're ill.

[Her eyes pop open at the touch and then Cass smiles, shakes her head as she sits back up.]

No, fine. Just waiting. Hi.

[Laura smiles back.]

Hi.

[She takes a seat beside Cass, shifting some of the books to the side to make room.]

Before we start, I need some information so I can tailor your lessons. Do you know any basics, like the alphabet, or should we start from the very beginning?

[There's no judgment or condescension coming from Laura.]

[And because of that, because it's just a simple question, it's easy for Cass to answer.]

Know most of alphabet. Forget parts. Can sound out, a little. Can write A.

Re: spam

[intofireforever]

Okay! We'll start with the alphabet.

[She starts digging through the books around them, hoping that Cass has pulled one that covers just the basics.]

[As luck would have it, there's a big one with the letters ABC printed in big block letters. She hands it over to Laura with a questioning look.]

This one?
