Two worlds, one family--

[mombastic]

[ It's strange to be in a world with not one set of memories from another world-- not two, but three, not that Otome can really discuss this with anyone. It's difficult enough, when she wakes up these days, and can't remember if she's in her own home, or her apartment. If she needs to call Fumi to check on preparations for the day, or...

But no. This is her world. And not a school day, so she's stuck trying to focus not on what she's missing or what she's lost, but on what lies ahead.

What that actually is, she doesn't know, but she's out and about today, and there's a strong breeze. Maybe today will be a good day for clearing her thoughts. ]

Mm, we shall!

... Now then, I can clean up in thanks for the meal! Are you ready to pick out your books?

[discard]

Oh... yes, I suppose so. That should be fine.

[If...Otome really wants to clean? She can clean. That's fine. He'll just.... shuffle over here out of the way.]

[mombastic]

[ And she'll get to work tidying up and washing dishes! Because Otome may be bad at preparing delicious meals, but that's fine, because!! Cleaning isn't hard at all. ]

[He wants to just look at.....all of the books......... which is what he's going to do, because this is way more interesting to him. He's easily engrossed in knowledge when it comes his way, honestly, so he's happy to have this here and now.

Even if a lot of the terms are still beyond him, he's determined to pick it all up in time to be able to actually attend Otome's class and... not disappoint her or embarrass her.]

[ Leon, you're so cute, you could never embarrass her! But once she's done putting everything back to the way it was, she's wandering into his room and leaning against the door frame.

Just watching him now convinces her, completely-- having him learn on his own is definitely the best choice to be made here. ]

Did you find anything good?

[discard]

[What if he didn't know the answer to a question and she called on him in class?????? That would be too much, he can't let that happen, he's going to make sure he knows everything.

But he looks up from the books, nodding slowly.]

Perhaps we can start with this.

[Biology! It's maybe a little bit above his current level, because Tales biology is incredibly different from Earth biology, but... he's still determined to learn it.]

[mombastic]

Biology... mm, that's an excellent place to start! You'll have to let me borrow it for tonight so I can start coming up with a lesson plan. I can give you the chapter to begin with in the morning, so you can get to studying while I'm working.

... If that's all right.

[discard]

... Of course.

[He feels a little awkward that she's even asking him, but....he appreciates it, too.]

I...will follow your lead in this, Otome.
