Instruction Begins (Kimberly)

Kimberly walked over towards her desk and table moving to set down after watching the older woman working on putting things into the corner of her room. She already was getting overwhelmed with the fact that this was happening. Kimberly was going to be going to a school to work on learning things that only the wealthy and fancy were allowed to have. She was just happy to have a bed and roof over her head at night. “I do have to eat but if have to work on skipping a meal till later to work on studies I am perfectly fine with that.” It was true before coming to this place she had been lucky to get one meal a day. Plus if she did not eat every meal she have a little more money to spend since not have to pay for it.

She turned toward Gwen from her chair and worked on looking at the slate and chalk that was set in front of her. “I have a little experience from having worked with my father down at his blacksmith shop. He also wanted me to know the basics of the language so that was not getting undercut or something when working with local traders for goods might need around the house.” Kimberly worked on taking a piece of chalk from the tin. The alphabet was something simple since did not have to put it together. Words were the harder part as she tried to think what might be asked next. Kimberly worked on slowly righting out each letter next to the other. The letters were not pretty but at least could read them.
