Berial looked over at Erik's quickly retreating back before turning back to the tank. "Mhm.. Watch this." He said, moving over to the cave and tapping the glss slightly. "Hey.. Reiha's here." He said to the glass. The tentacles shifted and soon a written sign emerged fromt he cave.
'Hello Reiha.'

"Oh wow!" Reiha presed against the glass and grined. "Look Korbin, he's saying hi. Did you guys make the sign? That's so cool. What's the octopus's name? I want to say hi back properly. After all he knows my name I need to know his when i say hi" She was so pleased by this, because it meant they prepared for her. Practiced, cared, for her arival. She was special.
Korbin watched the sign witha sneer, he could talk completely with Reiha but he saw what pleasure that two word sign brought the girl so he didn't say only, just let Reiha have her pleasure.

" His name is Hubert..." He said, smiling broadly at how happy she looked. "He writes the signs himself. Erik taught him too.." A sudden worried look crossed his face. "We did get it right, right? Erik was worried we didn't have the right spelling.." He said, hoping that they had in fact gotten it right.

"You got it perfect" she asured him and then taped the glass like Berial, "Hello Hubert thank you for making that pretty sign. I really apprecated it. I have Korbin here too. He's a crow. Say hi Korbin" she urged her bird.
Korbin grumbeled under his breath, he really didn't want to get into this game but whatever, it would make Reiha happier. "Hello Hubert" he cawed (which of course sounded just like bird calls to anyone but Reiha)

The sign retreated back ionto the cave and after a moment it emerged again, the text having changed.
'You're welcome, Reiha and Hello Korbin. Are you a good friend of Berial's, Reiha?
"He likes to ask people questions. You cna ask him stuff too. He's really smart.." He said nodding. He'd often seen Erik sit byt he tank with his notebook, reciting problems to the octopus and receiving possible answers on a sign.

"I can tell" Reiha replied to Berial, watching as the octupus replied just as well as Korbin could and Korbin was real smart. Because Korbin could keep up with Reiha when she was talking all technical about her books and she did that with Adian one time and he was lost quickly.
"I like to think so" she smiled at Berial, "We met at the park and I think he' real cool. Do you like Berial?" she asked Herburt. REiha was jazzed with all this, then again she loved talking to animals. She had some ideas for later. She wanted to take Berial out star gazing. She loved looking at the stars and wanted to share that with Berial.

'Yes. He often slips me snacks when Erik isn't looking.
Berial giggled. It was true. "I thought you'd like him.. M'not that smart, but you are and so is Hubert. You ca come whenever you want to talk to him.."He offered.

"You're plenty smart" Reiha asured him, "You just don't know as much. That doesn't make you stupid it just means you're unlearned. I like reading alot and I tend to read wordy books that teach me stuff. You're plenty smart" she promised, giving him a tight hug.
"What kind of snacks do you eat Hubert?" she asked him intrested, "Korbin eats bugs, and seeds, and sometimes if he can find it rotted meat. But He'll eat almost anything which means I can sneak him snacks too. Which makes me happy. I like to take care of my best friend"

Berial jsut nodded cheerfully, feelign proud that Reiha had called him smart. His face screwed up though at the mention of books. "I dun like reading. Erik does.. He has these huge book filled with lots and lots of words and no pictures. They're no fun." He said, frowning. It wasn't good for him if it didn't have pictures.

"Oh" she said softly, "I don't think you'll like my books then." She walked over to he old books and pulled out one book, "This one has pictures" she opened it to a diagram. "but it's not very pretty. I get bored if there is too many pictures though. You should read. Reading can teach you so much. That's how I know so much."

Berial gave a sof shrugg of assent.. She was smarter, so he suppsoed she would know better. "I get broed if they're too many words.. I'd much rather color or soemthing..." He said. "but I guess you can learn lots from 'em.." He said, peering over at the diagram. "This is one a' Erik's magic books... 'M seen him with it before..."

"Really?" Reiha asked surpised before glanced down at the pages, then to Korbin, "Maybe he can explain it a bit" she said hopefully. "Korbin understands some of it but I don't get most" she complained. "It's not very good at explaing. It expects you to know alot of stuff I don't know"

Berial nodded hopefully. "Mabe.. I always ask Eirk, but he says I'm not old enough an' that he shouldnt teach em until he's sure of what he'd doin'." He siad nodding and lookign down at the book. "He says it's hard.."

"Things are only hard if you don't work hard enough" she said softly, "I'll learn magic. I'm going to become strong in EVERYTHING. Then no one can push me around" she said firmly, "I'm not going to let anyone control me. I'm going to fly as free as the birds!" Rehia had high sights in life, even higher goals and clearly very high expectations of herself.

Berial watched her in admiration. "You're going to do it.." He said, surely.. She could do whatever she wanted to, in his mind at least. "M' think you'll make a good bird too.." He said, ebnding voer the book and peering at the diagrams.. They seemed complicated.
