Seveda perked up happily and clapped her hands together once, "Romance is the best. Stories about men falling in love with women and stories about things that happen to them. Usually something happens and the two of them are unable to be together for a time but they always end up together and it's a happy ending. I try to read atleast one every two days, but I think I can start reading one a day soon. I'm pretty good at reading," she finished, praising herself a bt.
With eyes shut tight, Kitten shook her head and put and arm around Seveda as a silent plea for her to be quite. "You wont be allowed to read any romance novels if you don't start focusing on your studies more. I wont have you failing out of science just because you don't know what hydrogen and oxygen are."
Catching sight of Shouko cheking her watch she cant her head to the side, "I'm sorry, are we holding you up? We didn't mean to keep you so long."

"Hmmnn? Oh no! No. I forgot what times it was. I'm supposed to be at a wedding in a couple of hours and I keep forgetting to check. My Granddaughter is finally getting married." She smiled, with a sigh. "It's so cute, almost like a Romance novel in itself, granted the only thing she really did was rope herself a now Ex-Priest."
Nhadala marveled at this. Her reading skills weren't THAT good, and added to Seveda's own praise with her own, "You're so talented, Ms.Seveda! It takes me 3-4 days to finish a book," She sniffed alittle in her own expressed pity," But I'm really good a math though! I can finish equations easily in afew minutes!"
It was amusing at Nhadala's own attempts to redeem herself in the youngers eyes. Perhaps Shouko would bring her delicate flower out more into the world, confidence is something she would need.

Innocent eyes grew wide and misty at the mention of being good at math and Seveda let out a breath of amazement. "Good at math and science, wow...that's amazing. Isn't that amazing mama?" asked the girl as she turned her head to smile up at Kitten.
The older woman laughed and nodded, reaching out to pinch Seveda's nose affectionatly. "It's amazing, especially compared to you silly," Kitten replied before looking back to Shouko. "She's great at composing and English but when it comes to calculations it's like there's nothing working up there," she said, teasing her charge and getting a pinch in her side in return.
"A marriage? Oh how wonderful! You must be very proud!" Despite Kitten's excited words, her eyes held the hint of sadness.

"The only one in the bunch so far to actually marry their mate." Shouko laughed, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and muttering how marriage seemed to be taboo in her family. She rearranged a few petals from Nhadala's hair which caused the girl to look over wondering what she was doing, "It's alright." Shouko muttered, "Just a few things misplaced is all."
Nhadala blushed from the worry and looked down at the ground a bit to avoid the embarrisment. It was a little humiliating to have your 'mother' prissing you up, when it was technically supposed to be your job.

Seveda watched as Shouko fiddled with the girl's hair, but she didn't see anything to be shy about. Seveda just loved it when Kitten played with her hair, especially when she braided her silky locks of hair. Subconsciously, Seveda reached up and twirled a finger through a bit of her hair, toying with it by her temple before realizing and quickly dropping her hand.
Kitten sighed as she watched the two girl. Both were nice and polite, but they both seemed so reserved; she wondered if there was anything she could do to get the two of them to open up a bit more. Seveda would certainly be a ball of chatter if just given the chance, but she didn't want to make the other girl feel nervous.
"Uhm, if you want Nhadala, I have one of my romance novels that you can borrow if you want. It's not one of my favorites but I don't think it's bad at all," the girl spoke up, poiting over at the table she'd set the relatively average sized book sitting upon.

"R-Really?" Nhadala squeaked, perking up a bit from her near humiliation by her 'mother'. "I-I'd like that!" She smiled, clasping her hands together in a happy manner, "And if you want, I-I can help you with some of your studies! We can have study groups!" She said, the excitement with the prospect of having someone else to study with nearly bursting out of every pour in her being.
Shouko smiled, at least she knew the girl's social skills weren't completely lax. She would definantly have to bring her out more now.

Seveda's smile grew bright and she nodded enthusiastically, turning to hurry over to the table and grab the book to present to the other girl. The cover was scrawled with bright colours and two princesses posing and making silly faces up at the reader. "It's-It's about these two girls, they're princesses, and they both fall in love with the same boy, but he's not a prince so they aren't allowed to marry him. I wont tell you how it ends of course because that would be silly to spoil it for you."
Kitten did her best not to groan; she hated those stupid romance novels. Where the hell was the substance? It was all just a bunch of wishy-washy nonsence! The only good side of those silly books was that Seveda's imagination seemed to grow in leaps and bounds, and her grasp on languages seemed the be helped along by so much reading. "School's starting soon if I'm not mistaken. You two girls should sign up to be in the same classes, hmm?"
"Oh yea! That would be really fun! I really need help with studying!" Seveda replied, looking just as excited as Nhadala.

"They have schools for them?" Shouko questioned, looking surprised. "I didn't know they had school for them...I thought the majority of them were just babies..."
This bothered her a slight bit, she didn't want them to hinder Nhadala's already developed skills by using a different method of teaching on her. Especially one she might not be able to regulate.
"I can't wait!" She smiled, before hearing Shouko's watching go off. "What's that noise??"

Kitten's had rubbed at the back of her head in a nervous fashion, her shoulders lifting to emphasize her non-commital reply, "Uhm, well, I guess I can't tell you anything for sure because I'm not all that positive myself. From what I understoon there would be a school opening up relatively soon and that the classes would be divided according to the level of the Vale." Kitten had probably only passed the notice once, so she really didn't know what else to say or any more information to give the woman, so she just offered a smile instead. "If there is a school though, I think Seveda and Nhadala should try and take classes together, hmm?"
The noise of the watch didn't seem to bother or phase Seveda, she just blinked those big doe eyes and looked over at Kitten as if in question of something, but Kitten wasn't sure what the question was.

"Indeed." Shouko agreed before noticing that her watch was making noise; it was its alarm going off. "Ack!" She said, peeking down at the time with widened eyes.
She peeked back up to Kitten and Seveda and gave them an embarrassed smile and a small apologetic bow."I have to go now. If I don't start dressing quickly I'll be late." She laughed nervously. "It was nice to meet you both, and yes, we should make sure these two are in a class together."
Nhadala blinked back at her mother and than to Kitten and Seveda before she got what Shouko meant, "Wait! You mean we have to leave???" She whined, a disheartened look spreading upon her face.
"You'll be able to see them again!" Shouko hissed, hurrying along Nhadala before her. "Hope you both have a nice evening! Sorry to leave so suddenly like this!"
"Bye Seveda!!! I hope we meet again soon!!" Nhadala cried, tears falling from her eyes at being torn from someone else like her. It was a depressing feeling...

Both Seveda and Kitten had one of those wide-eyed, confused expressions on their faces as the two women began bustling about and leaving. Seveda was the first to snap out of it and her expression sank into one of forlorn adoration as she waved good-bye to Nhadala. "Bye-bye Nhadala! I'll see you soon," she giggled softly, trying to help Nhadala feel beter about having to leave.
Kitten placed a hand on Seveda's back in a form of comfort, her other hand lifting to wave good-bye to her new friend as well. "Do have fun Shouko, we look forward to seeing you again soon. Please send me a message with the best time for Nhadala and Seveda to have class together, I'm sure we can work around your schedule."
The gray-haired woman grinned sweetly at Seveda, "I'm glad you made a new friend today Seveda.." she said, brushing a lock of hair out of the girl's face as she nodded in confirmation. The two got back to the things they'd originally come to do, Kitten researching various things and Seveda reading one of her gooey love books.
