“Man, wish I could write…” Ruby says longingly.
Emerald asks if he can teach her to read and write.
Ruby perks up and says, “Sure! Can we do it now? Can we use my book?”
Emerald nods, and Ruby dashes over and brings the book to the table. Emerald starts out by pointing out letters, and then grabs some spare parchment and has her practice writing them. This goes on for an hour or two before Ruby drops her head into the book out of frustration.
“Urgh…” Ruby says, lifting her head with a frown and scratching out some of her mistakes, “This is a lot more trouble than i thought it was going to be…”
Emerald tells her that she is doing fine. Ruby doesn’t seem to have quite the skill at learning that Praline did. She is obviously trying her best, but she seems to be having trouble absorbing it all at once. After a little while more Emerald decides they should take a break.
>Ruby learned a little reading/writing!
A flash of light causes Ruby to jump, but Emerald to hold out his hoof as a letter falls into it. Opening it he finds a letter.
