[ On video appears Razor, covered in a typical layer of dirt. He's underneath a few trees, but he seems pretty relaxed. Even though he's smiling, he seems thoughtful. There is something different, though. On top of his head are two silver-grey wolf ears, matching so closely the shade of his hair. Not visible: a tail wagging furiously in the background.

Someone's gotten good at partial transformations.

He seems pretty happy about this particular one, too. ]

Better at magic!

[ But that's not why he's here. He has something more important... ]

And, have question. Want to learn... to read. Will help with quests.

[ He looks briefly concerned. ]

And lots. Can give meat for help!

[ So he's not asking for this for free. ]

Good hunter.

[Bennett's so happy for you, buddy. Like, truly happy for you.]

I'm not much of a teacher, but if you need someone to help you practice, you know I'll always step up to help you!

[wuf]

Good will need lots practice. Want to be good at reading.

[ And writing, one step at a time. ]

Most here...can. Useful. Not bad can't. Better if can.

[rotacalamitas]

Awesome. I can teach you how to read maps and stuff, how about that?

[Bennett thinks it's a useful skill to have.]

[wuf]

Oh. Yes! Helpful, Bennett.

Bennett is best friend.

R-Razor...

[It's not like the idea that Razor considers him his best friend is any real revelation to him to him, the boys are pretty open about their friendship to each other. But Bennett had it... pretty rough recently with those trials putting him through the emotional ringer of sorts. Sometimes hearing that affirmation is nice, even if it's stating the obvious.]

[Don't mind him if he sounds a little choked up. Totally nothing to worry about.]

Y-yeah, of course! Anything for my bestie!

[wuf]

Bennett okay?

[ Listen buddy, your luck is bad and he knows so -- he has to ask. ]

[rotacalamitas]

[Give him a moment as he composes himself here.]

Yeah! I-I'm fine! [His voice cracks a little as he says that, but there's genuine joy in his voice.] Never been better, buddy!

[wuf]

Sure?

[ He considers for a minute, skeptical. ]

Okay, Bennet. Believe you. Want go fishing soon?

[rotacalamitas]

Sounds good! Maybe I'll go find a book on fish, we can look up the stuff we catch and have you read about them!

[He's really embracing this whole "Razor learns to read" thing.]

[wuf]

Sounds good, Bennett. Good idea.

[ Aggressively nodding to agree. ]
