"It's fine." He assured her. "Do whatever makes you comfortable."

She grins a bit sheepishly, "Thanks. While it was kind of expected back where I'm from, I get all kinds of weird looks and exasperated sighs here when they find out I really can't read."

"I could teach you to read too." Squall offered. "And write."

She glanced down, "I feel like I'd be taking advantage of you, if I did that. I want to, but won't I just be somewhat of a burden?"

"Or you could ask that woman who hired you?" Squall suggested.

She grinned, "Tifa would know, wouldn't she?... But then, I don't even know her. I suppose I can't exactly claim to know you well either but..." she shook her head to clear her thoughts. Asking for help had never been a strong point for Esmeralda. She was so used to taking care of other people that being helped in return was foreign and uncomfortable to her. She had no idea how to go about doing such a thing, and she was kind of terrified of being seen as too clingy or annoying. "...perhaps I can figure out a way to teach myself?"

"I suppose the library might have a few books on it." Squall mused. "The librarians are there to help."

She nodded and smiled a bit, "Yes, I'll probably go do that. You don't think they'll mind?"

"Their job is to help with books and those with second languages. I'm sure they know what's been going on in town and they'll help." Squall reasoned.

She nodded, "This is true, thank you... I maybe also kind of didn't want to admit my shortcomings to Tifa. I really like her and I don't want her to get annoyed with me even before I really got to know her."

"She doesn't seem like the type to be that harsh on you." Squall said. The waiter came up to their table. "I'll have a sampler platter and a coke."

Esmeralda smiles brightly at the waiter, "And I'll have nachos and a coke as well."

The waiter nodded and went to the back to put their orders in. "So how have you been?" he asked.

She put the menu down and smiled, "I've been doing rather well, actually. I'm just really happy I don't have to deal with all of the nonsense I dealt with in Paris. It's like a huge weight's been lifted off of my shoulders. I don't know how to describe it."

"But that's a good thing isn't it?" he asked.
