To the Library! Open!
Who| Armin Arlert, Guy Crood, Hanji Zoe, and whoever might like to drop by.
What| Library shenanigans, reading lessons, and probably being louder than they should be.
Where| The main Capitol library.
When| Guy's thread is pre Mini-Arena, Hanji's is during the Mini-Arena, and everyone els sometime while the Thicker than Blood plot is going on. Bring your beloved family members to the hottest spot in the Capitol.
Warnings/Notes| Possible spoilers for more recent chapters of Attack on Titan. Will update this if that actually occurs.
For Guy
So far, the lessons were going well. Guy was eager to learn, but sometimes he got sidetracked with a lot of questions that Armin couldn't hope to answer. In a way, they were in a similar situation, technological differences aside. As much as he didn't want to really put himself out there and get close to people he might end up having to kill later, he couldn't survive the Capitol alone. Especially with Eren gone.
Armin had started him on recognizing the various letters and the sounds they typically made. Children's books were useful, even if not particularly stimulating. Before too long guy would be ready for encyclopedias and newspapers.
"...except when it looks like this, and it means something that belongs to a group of people. Plural possessive." Today was homonyms and homophones. "If you were talking a lot about your friend's family's house, you wouldn't just keep writing 'my friend's family's house'. It's shorter to just write 'their house' because the reader can easily tell who you're referring to." Sure, Guy spoke just fine, but he was sure he'd appreciate the names and types of speech and the whys of language patterns they all took for granted. "Am I explaining it okay so far?" He'd never really taught anyone anything before.
For Hanji
Spurred on by Hanji's interest, they headed into the technology section of the library. Pragmatism had brought Armin to books about the natural world they had been brought to, but there were other gaps that needed filling as well. And Hanji would be an interesting research partner to say the least.
He seemed to have zeroed in on a section about transportation technology, like the train he'd ridden on, as well as others that were 'obsolete' by Panem standards. Like primitive flying machines, and hot air balloons.
Open to All
Armin was once again returning to the library. The staff here had gotten used enough to seeing him that he usually had some small talk to share with them as he dropped off his previous round of books and started in for another. There were a lot of extra people around the Tower, but no one that he knew. So, he decided the best course of action was to just hide from all the noise and find something to bury his nose in for the day.
He had gotten a bit too into something he had picked out before he even made it to a table. He had a book open on top of a small stack of other books that he was actually reading while he was walking. Thus, he missed that someone else had moved into his path. Hopefully they weren't particularly annoyed by having a few books dropped onto them. "Sorry! I wasn't paying attention..."
