Description
At some point, Khith offered Yerai to teach him how to read and write. The rogue thought it would be fun and useful to have those skills and agreed. Khith often regretted his offer, for Yerai was anything but a model student.

After helping with the horses, Khith made his way to the fire. Not far away from his destination, he found Yerai, using a crate as a table, fully focused on writing words on a scrap of parchment.

“Practicing?” The elf asked casually.

“Of course, ”Yerai said with a grin. “I always do as you tell me. Look.” With a flourish, he offered his work to Khith, who accepted it curiously. “As you told me, a list of items and words I see and hear a lot.”

Ignoring the lie about doing as asked, the elf nodded absently, his eyes going over the still uneven handwriting. His friend was smart enough, but not very eager to learn beyond what he deemed necessary. Trying to make him write in clear, flowing script would never happen, but Khith was pleased to see vast improvements in both spelling and legibility.

He was just about to compliment the rogue, who was looking at him expectantly, when the list of words went from items scattered around the camp to profanities. With a disappointed sigh he turned to Yerai, who flashed him an insolent grin.

“Come on, elf, tell me what you think. I impressed you, didn’t I?” Yerai slapped his colleague's shoulder.

Swallowing his initial comments, Khith composed himself. “The first part is well done, but.. You do know you misspelled di--. No, wait, never mind.”

The rogue laughed loudly in reply.

***

Ah yes. These two.. I'll just leave it at that.
