PLEASE LOCK

He narrowed his eyes but shrugged and smiled. "Are you happy that I just smiled because you asked me too?" he asked her, trying to make the most of what he had learned so far about conversations.

[Trots]

"Yes, very." She looked at him for a while. His smile was crooked, but somewhat cute. Why did she think it was cute? She had no idea. Clowns. Her deepest, darkest fear... started to go away. He was different... but... she wanted to go home. She wanted to leave but she couldn't tell him. Not yet.

[skyprincess]

He nodded and stopped smiling. He looked at her for awhile, "Hi, how are you?" He asked her.

[Trots]

She raised a brow and chuckled. “Hmm.. only say that to me maybe once a day? In the morning. You can say that to other people, though.”

[skyprincess]

He frowned a bit "Why am I so horrible at language?" He asked her as he walked over to the bed and sat down.

[Trots]

“You aren’t. The English language is hard in general to be honest. You’re doing very well. Keep doing what you are doing.”

[skyprincess]

“It’s really hard. I hate messing up though.” He said with a sad sigh. He picked up his sketchbook again and started to draw a new picture.

[Trots]

"It's okay. You'll get used to it sooner or later. So you were never taught to really speak? Or were you growing up learning a different language?"

[skyprincess]

He shrugged "My father tried to teach me but either he was a bad teacher or I am not very good at learning, and I think I am not good at learning and I think I'm never going to be good at it."

[Trots]

“You will learn. Just be patient and don’t give up. If you’re determined, you’ll succeed.” Jade smiled and looked down at her failed drawing. “I really should throw this away. It’s garbage.”
