"America girl!" Adiv smiled. "What Luna?" He looked at the wolf.
 
"Luna is a girl too. She has an A in her name as well," she said with a smile as she looked back at Luna. "Okay the next letter is an H. Like in hot," she said.
 
"Luna is a girl with A." Adiv giggled. "Fire hot... Right?" He asked softly.
 
"Yes sweetie. Fire is very hot. If you touch it it'll burn you," she said as she scooted a bit closet to him.
 
Adiv nodded. "Hot hurt." He said softly. After a momentary pause, he gasped. "Hurt with h too!" He looked at America with surprise.
 
"It does. That's very good," she said with a smile. "So what letters have we learned so far?" She asked as she smiled.
 
Adiv bit his lip, concentrating hard. "A... America Adiv have a. Luna have a too. B. Boy have a. Adiv a boy. C... America have c. D... Adiv have d. F.. Fire for f. G for girl. America Luna a Girl." He smiled happily.
 
America nodded with a wide smile as she giggled. "Good good and what was the last letter we learned?" She asked as she raised an eyebrow and pointed at it.
 
Adiv blinked, pausing a moment. "H! For hot. F for fire have h for hot." He smiled. "Hot not good... Hot hurt... Hurt have h too!" He smiled.
 
"Perfect," America said as her eyes lit up. "Now we can work on writing A through H," she said as she looked to him for approval.
 
Adiv nodded slightly. Writing... He remembered starting to learn that a loooong long time ago. He smiled at America. She was fun.
 
America changed papers and smiled as she looked at him. "Just follow my movements," she said before looking down and slowly drawing a capital A then a lowercase one. She handed the pencil to him and smiled softly. "Okay?"
 
Adiv watched her, then stared at the pencil. He put the tip to the paper and drew a very scribbled A, then a B. "B for Boy..." He said before also writing a C. The B and C were much worse than his A, but they were intelligible.
 
America smiled softly as she nodded a bit at his effort. "A bit more practice and they'll be neat and you won't have to think about how to write it," she said before looking at the paper and pointing to the D. "Can you write that?"
 
Adiv hesitated, then took a deep breath. He wrote a D that almost looked like an O. "D look this?"
 
America giggled and shook her head. She took the pencil and slowly wrote a D before giving it back to him. "Make that side a straight line," she said as she pointed to the left side.
 
"Oops.." Adiv tried again, and this time his D looked much better. He smiled.
 
America nodded happily and giggled softly. "That's great Adiv!" She said as she hugged him before looking at the E and pointing. "Can you do that?"
 
Adiv hesitated again, studying in, then drew a squiggly E. "This look yes?" He asked, trying to ask if it was right.
 
"It's good but try for straighter lines," America said with a smile as she took the pencil and showed him what she meant. "See?" She said with a small giggle and handed him back the pencil.
