"Yes. Roman letters are far easier than your runes. But also less pretty and I've never made THOSE glow." He chuckled lightly and then proceded to write his own name.

Yuna laughed.
"Ah, well, I've always wondered if you could somehow enchant other alphabets."

"Who knows, now I have unlocked my secrets powers..." He started to feel really comfortable now with Yuna and wrote 'you are my friend' for her in his best handwriting.

"May be!" She said.
After studying his writing a moment, Yuna turned to Yann.
"Could I have the pen? I want to try writing with your alphabet."

"Of course!" He gave her the writing utensil and watched intently. Life was nearing perfection quickly. A nice young woman who liked him, who liked books and writing, and he could give her something by teaching her what he loved best. Honestly, he couldn't think of anything that would improve the current situation.

Carefully, going by how she learned the glyphs, she slowly copied 'you are my friend'.
"These letters are interesting...they're not like pictures but still have meaning."

That remark made him think. "You're right. The word makes the picture, in your head. But you have to learn to look at it to make it out. It is not at all intuitive." He suddenly understood why people found it so hard to read and write.
"Are people in your world more literate?"

Yuna sat back, thinking.
"I'm not sure. There are some that don't know how, I know, but there are more I think that do know. It's mostly in the small little isolated villages were there isn't as much literacy--usually you will only have the wiseman or wisewoman who can in those places."

"But even if you have never learned to read, you might be able to make out some of the runes... The ones that look the most like pictures." He trailed the black lines of his writings ponderously. "I think I wouldn't have a lot of work if I would live in your world." He grinned.

She smiled.
"True. And there are some who know them by what they're pictures of. I think they'd like you--the people need someone like you."

Being needed felt intensely good and he didn't know how to express his happiness other than leaning forward and giving a kiss on her cheek. "Thank you..."

A blush crept into her cheeks at the kiss, but she didn't pull away from him and smiled.
"You're welcome!" She said, a bit too loudly.

It wasn't until after a few moments that he realised what he'd done and he, too, blushed. "That was very forward of me, please don't think anything bad... I'm just so happy I met you," he muttered.

"Oh, no, that's all right," she said quickly.
"No harm done!"

Yann didn't know what to do now. He didn't have much experience with girls, and his book-knowledge wasn't exactly adequate in this field. Bashfully he doodled a little on the paper in front of him, not daring to look her in the eye.
