why can't slashy read? [closed]

There were many things Yuri was too young for that she'd been forced into. Being a teacher was only the latest in a string that had started when she'd put the Borg on for the first time.

She felt a dry tongue, moist hands as she waited for Red Snout. These reactions never went away. She thought they would after a while, in the same way it had taken her years to get used to Borg's presence. No. Her heart rate always refused to calm down.

What was worse was that she felt as if the creature could somehow sense it. He would take big sniffs of her sometimes and she always felt as if she were giving something away.

Still there was a small consolation. He was learning. She'd introduced him to katakana and surprisingly the Velociraptor had found that the sudden facility extended out so he was equally clumsy in all languages. It was probably the same mechanism that let her read stuff in English like it was her first language.

Currently she waited in an unused conference room, children's primers spread out in front of her on the table white and knobby as bone.
