___Hazina considered her new mentor, in a very pleased manner. Wise, the Masai appreciated that, and smiled as a result. Something rose slowly and then quickly in the back of the young girl's mind. This woman, her teacher, knew perfect English. Realizing promising opportunities, Hazina scooted closer in order to earn subservient favour with Ankita.
___"You good English, yes?" Hazina asked in avid earnest. "Can teach?"
___The Masai girl began wondering if she needed to gift her teacher with something else in order to learn English. It would certainly be worth it! Digging through her bag, she sighed, only a pomegranate, which she broke open and offered to Sarava.

Ankita thought for a moment. Being a guide was one thing, but teaching an actual language? That was something a bit trickier. She didn't really have any books she'd be able to teach her out of, since they were all in braille. But maybe she could borrow some from people around Cirque. There had to be another book worm around here somewhere.
"Sure! I'd love to."
Sarava by this point was half-passed out. But the sweet smell of the pomegranate quickly woke her up. Her long fingers reached out and took it back quickly, nibbling furiously at the fruit.

___Hazina's eyes lit up to Ankita's response. This was excellent! Finally she would be able to master the English language, if not gradually. This was just becoming a better and better day. The young girl watched the aye-aye gobble down the treat, delicately discarding the massive seeds while the juice began steady work of staining her muzzle. The animal was so cute, Hazina looked at Sarava longingly, feeling a tiny bit homesick for the exotic fauna of Africa.
___"When can start? What need?" Hazina said quickly, wanting to begin preparations. The next time she sat down with her teacher, she would be ready!

Ankita couldn't help but smile at the enthusiasm. This girl was definitely eager to learn, and she admired that. But she was getting a little tired after all of this, er, excitement.
"We can start... tomorrow. Does that sound good? I'll try and see if I can find some books to teach you out of." Which for a moment in her mind, seemed rather silly since she couldn't see the letters and Hazina couldn't read braille. But she'll figure out a way to make it work.

___Hazina nodded anxiously, she had a mentor and English teacher now. Hopefully this one wouldn't hit her or yell at her like the other one did. Happily, the Masai bowed low in front of Ankita and hurriedly jumped to her feet. A fortunate and rewarding day.
___"Asante sana." Hazina blurted in Kiswahili, bowing once more to her teacher. Without thinking she bowed quickly to Sarava, holding her hands up together and nodding her head. Grabbing her belongings she sprang off to search for a home, and some food.
