"I understand it's reasonable to want to know how to read, but is there any specific reason you sought out my help?" Robin asks whilst watching Dark Pit write the letter "A" all over the paper.
Struggling to stay in the lines, Dark Pit resorts to writing the uppercase letters within two lines; Robin notices this and chuckles at the sight. The angel really is cute when he's flustered or frustrated.
"I asked you specifically because you're smart and since you seem like the kind of guy who can keep a secret," replies Dark Pit, then proceeding to curse under his breath as the pencil breaks. Now sharpening the pencil, he continues. "If I told you why I wanted to learn you probably wouldn't be helping me."
"Hmm? Why's that?"
"I just said you wouldn't want to help me if I told you, so don't expect me to tell you," replies Dark Pit with a nonchalant tone, proceeding to struggle to hold the pencil in a comfortable way.
"I don't really judge. Everyone has their reasons, and it's justified in their minds." Noticing the angel's struggles, he says, "Why not try holding it in your left hand?"
"And this is the last letter, 'Z,'" says Corrin whilst showing Pit what said letter looks like. Said angel stares at it in awe, "it" being the letter "Z," an ordinary sight to most.
"Wow, that's all of them?" asks Pit. "I'll be sure to memorize them all next time I see you!"
Corrin smiles at her student's enthusiasm. "That'll certainly make it easier, but don't stress yourself." Beginning to gather her belongings, she asks, "What exactly was it that made you want to learn how to read?"
Not being proficient in the art of lying, Pit answers with a sheepish smile and tone. "I wanted to be smart, like you!"
Corrin, however, is dense due to the isolation she experienced for quite a few years; the result of this is her believing the petty lie. "I'm flattered. It's nice to see how determined you are!"
She believed it, thinks Pit. Hey, maybe I'm getting pretty good at lying!
Author's Note: I once again apologize for this chapter lacking in length, and the story lacking in updates. This is just a side thing, after all. The last portion of this chapter sparks a question: What is Pit's motivation? Though it may be obvious, it's the closest I can get to an interesting turn of events.
