[ 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.

( this really would be a job for someone like Itaru-san or Tsumugi-san, were they here. but they're not, and this request tugs on her heart like watching the high schoolers and middle schoolers at Mankai struggle through their homework.

well, she did her best to refresh her English knowledge for Yuki-kun, so why couldn't she help this boy? )

If you're still looking for help, I've got some time. I don't have any real experience, though...!

( and, without a Mankai Company to run, she does have a lot more time on her hands. )

[wuf]

Need -- lots of help! Yes.

[ The inexperience doesn't bother him. As long as the information is right, it doesn't matter. ]

Not... fast learner.

[currysseur]

( he seems sweet. and really, how different can teaching be from directing and helping people act? )

That's okay! I can find some exercises for you.

( no different from teaching a hammy actor, right? )

Can we meet at the inn?

[wuf]

Yes. Meet at inn. Know where it is.

[ It's probably obvious he doesn't sleep there but -- ]

Have room for bad weather.

[currysseur]

( for bad weather... )

Eh? ... Do you normally sleep somewhere else?

( you wouldn't keep a room at the inn if you had your own place, unless you were up to some shady shit, which this boy doesn't appear to be so...

pieces. slotting into place. )

[wuf]

In woods. Like it.

It's quiet. Like home.

[ It's safer, at least. ]

[currysseur]

( well... she supposes there's fewer people in the woods to commit crimes. he might not be wrong there??? and it would explain a lot about why he's unable to read and all the rest of Everything. )

It is quiet, isn't it? It's really relaxing!

( she's usually in a house of some description even in the woods, but there's no denying he's right about things being peaceful. )

[wuf]

Yes! Very relaxing. City noisy.

[ He's pretty...glad to be at least semi-understood. ]

Woods quieter here than home.

[currysseur]

It is? ( huh... ) I wonder if it's quieter than the woods in Japan.

( now she wants to find out!!! )

[wuf]

Don't know Japan. Sounds are animals mostly.

[currysseur]

( oh yeah, worlds are weird... )

Japan is my home country. ( animals sounds about right. ) But I'd like to go camping here sometime.

( it may happen sooner than you think, Izumi. )

[wuf]

Oh! Home is... Mondstadt.

Lots good places to camp. In trees very nice. Like to see stars.

[currysseur]

( Mondstadt... hm, definitely not part of her world. unless she's missing something. her braincells were reserved for acting and curry, not geography. )

I like stargazing too. ( huh, places like this might have totally different constellations... ) They're so beautiful, aren't they?

[wuf]

Yes! Like stars. Can see when sleep outside.

[currysseur]

( she's all smiles. )

Well, maybe we could look at the stars together sometime.

( she'll teach him beforehand, of course, but a bit of stargazing after lots of work sounds lovely. )

[wuf]

Would like that.
