Dream Office Hours, 2/22

[game_of_you]

Dream is paging through what might look a bit like an original prompter's copy of A Midsummer Night's Dream. The pages bear faint traces of grass stains, as if it was used roughly outside.

He's in his office almost all day.

Comments

Elizabeth knocked on the door with her Italian book.

Dream set his manuscript aside. //Come in, Miss Weir,'' he called in Italian. //How go your studies?//

[notcalledlizzie]

//They are going alright, I believe// Elizaneth replied, also in Italian. //I understand what you said and am able to reply. Obviously//

[game_of_you]

Dream smiled a bit at this. //So it would seem, yes. That is well.//

He switched to English. "I have some new audio recordings that may help with your accent and vocabulary, though you're doing quite well. What areas have caused you the most trouble in the book thus far?"

Elizabeth nodded. "I've found that I get frustrated easily at the basicness of some of it," she confessed. "It's been a while since I've been at this point when it came to learning a language, and I think I'd forgotten how frustrating it could be."

[game_of_you]

Dream nodded. "Starting from the beginning is often frustrating," he said. "But perhaps the rewards are greater."

He shifted in his seat. "In any case, I am certain you have noticed we are working on Italian writings until the midterm in your Foreign Literature class."

[notcalledlizzie]

Elizabeth nodded. "Yes, sir," she said. "I'm working with both the Italian and English versions of the texts at the moment, although I am referencing the English one more I'm afraid."
