[Midori certainly high expectations of Katt's reading ability. Unfortunately...

Katt stares at this for a while. Then she gets bored, walks off, chases a bunny, makes her way to the lunch hall and discusses a meal arrangement, tears through the halls and has an adventure with Celes, gets injured, and is lays out on a bed before remembering that Midori replied to her.]

MBI U CAN HELP MI WIT MY REEDING

[lumokinetic]

[Midori stares at her screen for a few minutes, actually somewhat dumbfounded that it took Katt this long to respond.]

What part of it? [It's already clear that spelling needs some work, but Katt specifically stated reading, and Midori doesn't feel like going out of her way on things that aren't being brought up.]

[everyone_wants_to_be_a]

[Oh good, a nice, short sentence. She was happier with short sentences. It made things much more easier to understand.]

AL OF IT.

[lumokinetic]

[She just. Stares at that screen some more. Forget simply being dumbfounded, Katt just took a cinderblock to Midori's brain and mashed it into a fine paste. The spelling should have been her first clue, really, but a high-school freshman needing help with reading?]

Really? [Where would she even start? Actually, she should try asking to figure out where to start.] Is there any part that you find harder than the rest?

[everyone_wants_to_be_a]

[Though she doesn't know why she's asking in the first place. After all her time at the convent, none of the sisters were ever able to get through to Katt other than Sister Margerie...]

NOT REELEE

[lumokinetic]

[Midori's going to try to remain patient, but there's no telling how long that will last.]

Then what part do you want to start with?

[everyone_wants_to_be_a]

[Well, she doesn't really care but if there is one thing that she believes is true...]

U CAN START BI NT THEENKEENG I AM STOOPEED

[lumokinetic]

[...What? Well, that came pretty much out of nowhere, and is a heavy blow to said patience.]

If I thought you were I would have said so already. Do you want to do this or not?

[She's already rather tempted to just stop and go about her own business like she had originally planned, what with having to study for an upcoming exam for her algebra class and all. Whether she does bail or not hinges on how Katt responds.]

[everyone_wants_to_be_a]

[Sorry Midori, she's self-conscious about this.]

YA

[lumokinetic]

[Midori's a bit self-conscious in her own ways, so she would actually understand somewhat if it were ever revealed to her. Although in her own case, her concerns largely deal with plain old rejection, by whoever and for whatever reason.]

OK. Sorry about giving you the wrong impression.

I have to go to lunch soon, but I will have time after that. Should I meet you outside after I'm done? [She remembers someone offhandedly mentioning that Katt hated being indoors, but isn't sure if that's actually true or not.]

[everyone_wants_to_be_a]

[That was mostly true. She liked being inside well-enough, but she hated being restricted to just inside and needed to be able to go outside whenever she desired it.]

[Still, she wasn't dense enough to be unable to see somebody trying to meet her part-way.]

OK
