You're illiterate, I see. [Oddly enough, given Sherwood could often have a heavily judgmental tone, he says this very simply and in casual understanding.]

That is also common upon Myddvai, not often prioritized. Reading and writing was seen as an upper class activity, which I've always seen as an inequitable shame. There is so much to learn and experience in reading and sharing with one's fellows through writing. Not to mention the benefits of leading a well educated population- Ohp... My apologies.

[Sherwood taps the table top twice as if getting his mind back on track with the gesture, pulling from his thoughts to be more in the moment,]

Would you like to learn? I would be honored to teach you the skills.
