30th Day Of Summer, 513 AV Anna sighed as she placed straightened out a small stack of parchment, the third time she had repeated the action. There were benefits to working as a professor in the University, one being the easy access to parchment and ink. Considering what she taught she possessed nearly unlimited access to the two items as long as she kept them to University grounds, well technically the Library was on University grounds so that made this next exercise in teaching only consuming to her time. The young professor leaned back in her chair at the rather large table, a small stack of basic language books next to her. It was not often that she took books from the Public Section of the Library, they usually possessed very little information that she cared to know. The Restricted Section was her usual haunt, where there were plenty of tomes on the subject of applied magic sciences. She ached to continue her review of the Void and to look further into the dimension of emptiness. Unfortunately, she was denied that pleasure today. It was still early in the morning so her student was not late to this session, in fact he could very well be lost, considering the massive nature of the Library itself it wouldn't have really surprised her. It had only been three days since she had taken the rat kelvic Kenshin into her home, so far the only issues she had seen with his presence had been the occasional scratching sounds under her bed, and an embarrassing incident where she had nearly stepped on him. All in all she considered herself to be quickly adapting to this situation. In her quest to get him employed in an honest profession, Anna noted one issue, Kenshin lacked literacy. Considering he was probably born on the street and he was only one and a half years old this did not exactly surprise her. Being the forthright thinking individual she was she took it upon herself to teach him basic literacy, to set him on the right path that he might be able to learn the rest through immersion. Anna herself was dressed in her common clothing with her cloak draped over her chair. Her hair was bound up in the back in ponytail with her bangs falling about her face. Her narrow grey eyes searched every now and again for signs of her students, absorbing most any detail they saw. She looked every inch the focused professor. She had told him to be here at ten bells and he still had about twenty chimes until that time so she was not exactly worried. Anna was not exactly sure how she was going to educate him into language, Glyphing was technically the language of magic so it should be easy in theory. Though she had never had to teach a Kelvic before now so that was still up in the air. Her current lesson plan involved what she did for her Glyphing students, examples and mimicry. Hopefully it would work here just as well. |
