Ryo was given almost double the portion that Fukurou had for himself because he gave about half of his own to Ruu as promised, but he didn't seem to mind, and eventually sat down to eat as well, with his back against the large tree. Kitsi was once more sleeping contentedly close to the glowing fire enjoying the full feeling and the heat...

Ryo looked over and saw how much food wasn't on the other's place. "Did you want some of mine?" He held it out in an offering to share.

Fukurou shook his head. "It is rude of a host to take more than the share of his guests," he said. "Kitsi may be rude, but I am not. This will more than suffice," he said politely, and motioned for Ryo to eat up. "Besides, a growing boy needs his food does he not?"

"Oh, okay..." He looked a touch sad glancing between the food and the man. "There is lots here... But if you don't want it," He shrugged. "Kinda would like to be taller tho~ Short sucks sometimes."

Fukurou laughed at that. "Then eat up lad, it will come some day..." Fukurou was pretty much done of his food already and finsihed it off, placing the plate aside, he'd wash it after when Ryo finished his as well....

It wasn't much longer until Ryo finished his own plate and he put it down with a huge grin. "Thanks a bunch! That was great."

Fukurou smiled. "Do you want to try a few pages of the book while I wash the dishes?" he asked, nodding to the book that sat on his jacket between them...

Ryo looked over at the book dubiously but slowly nodded. "Okay, I can try..." He reached for the book and opened it, scanning the words and trying to make sense of what was written there.

"432," Fukurou informed him of the page number grabbing the plates and heading for the stream.
When Ryo picked up the book, both owls slunk closer to listen to the story...

"Oh thanks. You must have a good memory" Ryo was impressed as he opened the book and attempted to read the words to himself. That is, until he noticed the owls hunkering down nearby. "w..wait. You want me to read out loud?" He sounded and looked a little afraid by that prospect.

"I do have a good memory... But I can't hear your thoughts all the way over here if you read to yourself," Fukurou said, and each of the owls were looking at Ryo, waiting for the story to resume...

Ryo grew quiet and flushed deeply in embarrassment. "I .. Uh.. I don't know if I should." He gulped a bit. "I'm really not very good at reading..."

"Then how do you plan to get better if you don't read?" Fukurou asked, but if the boy stalled much longer, he'd be done washing the dishes and return...

"But.. But..." Ryo lofted the book up in a childish act to hide his face from the other. "Okay." And he started reading. Really, he hadn't been lying about being a bad reader. It was slow and awkward and he tripped over the simplest words... But lord how he was trying.

The next thing that Ryo would know was not that Fukurou was returning with the stream, but rather, Fukurou was already sitting behind him. His eyes were closed, and he was listening to the story no matter how awkward the reading was, he had patience and he was visualizing the tale as it unfolded...
