Ryo glanced over the cover of the book at the other sat down, surprised that he still seemed to be enjoying it even if he was the one reading. That put a bit more confidence in his voice as he stumbled over sentences and sounded out words. And hey, this was actually kinda fun...

No matter how much Ryo stumbled, stuttered, or mispronounced words, Fukurou didn't correct him even once. He didn't even offer help unless it was asked of him, he sat back listened, and seemed to enjoy...

As they went on, the reading didn't get any better, but there was more confidence and less hesitation in Ryo's voice. Somehow, he even managed to make it through the rest of that chapter.

Fukurou smiled, not an ill-judgement in him. "Will you continue?" he asked, offering Ryo to continue reading before indicating he would if Ryo wouldn't...

"I dunno," Ryo smiled shyly in return, appreciating the other not saying anything ill. "You do read it better tho~"

"That's one way to think of it," Fukurou said, "or you could just say I've had a lot more practice than you have..." He sat back, not reaching for the book, but waiting for Ryo to make this decision on his own...

Ryo hesitated. At first he intended to hand the book over, but he had actually managed to read a chapter of that book that was certainly more difficult than anything else he had read yet. Maybe he could make it through another and make Oki proud. "Maybe one more~" he smiled and started reading again.

Fukurou smiled and relaxed against the tree, his eyes closed again to imagine the story as it unfolded.
Kitsi and Ruu were snuggled in tight to Ryo's side, also entranced by the story...

Ryo idly reached down, patting the owls as he read. Still clumsy and awkward, he was reading though. And actually enjoying it!

Fukurou seemed to be thuroughly enjoying this. Never in his memory had he been read to before, so now he was able to enjoy a book with his eyes closed to more vividly picture the entire story, it was quite the feeling, quite the thrill...

There were a few moments when Ryo became frustrated with a word he couldn't make out and had to ask for help. After, he'd take a breath. Calm down. And continue reading.

At any time Ryo actually asked for the help, Fukurou would open his eyes, lean over, and give him the word, and usually a quick definition if he thought it was a particularily foreign word that would be difficult to get even with the context, but that was his only input while Ryo was reading...

Ryo would always brighten up after he had the word and the meaning. It was nice to have someone help him through the story. Not quite as nice as Oki, but still good <3

When that chapter was finished, Fukurou said, "I must say, I am impressed. For someone looking to find an easy read, you most asuredly failed in your search, and yet you read something so difficult with so little difficulty..."

Ryo smiled at the other. "Easy would have been nice, but man that was hard!" He laughed. "Thanks tho, I didn't think I'd be able to~"
