*Luke winces all the louder as Cora slams into his shin.*
Aw, b***h... *says under his breath*
*He gets up, but without the quickness to scurry away like Cora*
*He stares at Maggie and Bard.*
Uuuuh.... Don't mind us. We were looking for.....uh....a book. *He picks up the nearest one.* On.... *reads the title.* Napolean Bonaparte...Emporer of the French....
*makes a face* And seriously, you guys need to get a room. This is a library, man. People read here.
*leaves to follow Cora out, half-hobbling half-lumbering back thanks to the swift kick to the shin*

Chrissy and Larry were spying on us... *he realizes that Maggie has no idea what he's talking about* It's not important.
Still... I wonder why they were curious about your reading lesson?

*he sets the page down*
You wrote them flawlessly, Maggie. *he beams* I'm very impressed.
I think we can start piecing together words now.
*he starts to ramble excitedly* It's a little hard at first, but I know you'll get it. You're a natural.
I can't wait until I can share my fiction with you. *he hugs her*

I did? *her face lights up* Oh, I'm glad! *in her relief and excitement, she returns the embrace without thinking about it* I'd love te be able te read what ye've written. I promise te keep practicing until I can.
*tilts her head to look up at him, smiling . . . and then quite suddenly becomes aware of herself and all but jumps back, her face burning, and quickly sits down in her chair again, her eyes fixed on the papers in front of her* Well, I . . . I daresay I should keep working at it then.
