From: Lavi
Date: September 22
[Hello, Far Shore!
Here's your resident redhaired librarian who greets everyone with a slight smile and a wave.]
Hey, everyone. I've noticed there's been quite a few people here who are either illiterate or mute [Selectively mute, anyway] so I've decided to find a way where it might be easier to communicate.
I'll be teaching sign language for anyone who's interested and I'm also offering to help anyone who would like to learn how to read. So far, these will be initially taught at the library or I can even do private tutoring sessions for anyone as well. If you also know people who are interested, spread the word.
And for those who doesn't know me yet, the name's Lavi.

[He waves a hand dismissively.] Organizing your books? That's practically a hobby for me.

[You just made his day. Sort of.
But he turns to him.]
But let's get started on those lessons first.
no subject
Go ahead.
no subject
[He'll hop on a desk then.
commence lessons?]
no subject
So while he can imitate the symbols themselves flawlessly and sign back anything Lavi signs at him, he's not doing the best at actually constructing any sentences or reading what's actually being said.]
no subject
[Honestly, he didn't think Shun would be this...bad at learning languages. Then again, at least it's not a verbal language he's teaching the other.]
Alright. Try piecing what I taught you together to tell me something in sign language.
[That way he has an idea how long this might take.]
no subject
[But that's going to be a bit of a problem, and Shun tries running back through what Lavi demonstrated to try and pick out some things he might be able to piece together that had the meanings explained.
After a few moments and obviously still preoccupied with trying to remember if he's saying the right thing, he manages to piece together an extremely broken-up "how are you". The signs are perfectly fine once he decides they're the right ones to use, at least.]
no subject
Lavi waits and nods when Shun manages something out.]
Good job. [He says it simply, smiling at him.] Once we continue with more lessons, you'll start to get the hang of it.
no subject
[It's...a strange feeling, and he's not sure he likes it, but he supposes he can't get away with not formally learning things after not having been schooled for a good few years now.]
no subject
[He looks at him curiously.]
What were you like before the war, anyway?
no subject
That follow-up question makes his fists clench subtly on the table, though.] Does it matter?
no subject
No, it doesn't. Just made me a bit curious is all.
no subject
I don't remember that much. Just...things with people I'm still focused on, mostly. So I don't have a proper answer anyway.
