[Kanji's trying to get homework done. Seriously. In a common room, surrounded by notes, a laptop (old, battered, with insulation taped to it) on the table in front of him...

Right. Let's do this. Let's ... get totally confused by the second question on the page. Literary analysis wouldn't even be his thing if it were in his first language, but English? It's definitely catching him out.]

What does the use of metaphor in this passage... ngh. Dammit.

[He screws up a piece of paper, hurls it across the room, not really looking at the direction it flies in.]

[Some time after the study attempts...]

Yo. I... kinda hate to say it, but... I'm lookin' for a bit of help, here. [A moment's pause-] Study tips. How to get this stuff to stick in your head 'n all that. I ain't smart, sure. I get that. But...

[He rubs his head, sighs.]

Someone's gotta have somethin', right?

[The paper manages to hit against Mona's leg. She notices and sees where it came from, picking up the piece of paper and heading over.]

Hey.

[And she has the crumpled piece of paper.]

Something up?

[realmenknitplushies]

Hunh? [...Aw, crap. He looks rather apologetic.] Eh. Sorry 'bout that. I'm just gettin' kinda stressed out over here. Guess I ... got carried away.

[notacostume]

It's fine, don't worry about it. [It was just a piece of paper, so yeah. No harm done.]

Something giving you a hard time, eh? Which subject?

[realmenknitplushies]

English. It's all this literature analysis crap.

[Glaring at the text with a bad attitude.]

[notacostume]

[What did the text ever do to you.]

English, huh...

[She looked over the page for a bit.]

Need a hand with it?
