Is Arinth literate enough for this undertaking/are there any other characters who would be good at teaching Arkin how to read and write?

Well Miri's got an education as a lord's daughter >.>

 

I somehow doubt she'd be a good teacher though

Arinth can read....anyone he tried to teach would find it an adventure though. Id be up for it though. Maybe go back and forth between a lesson from Miri and a lesson by Arinth and end up even more confused. Arinth is going to need help too. He want to cut down on his drinking. Hes discovered sleeping til noon isnt really an option for a segeant.

Ha ha, well Arkin certainly won't be able to help him stop drinking. He could be supportive of Arinth though. He's good at that. I reckon that'd be good though, if Arkin could go between you guys. I forgot that I wanted him to learn to read.

I imagined Arkin going back and forth and Miri being like he told you what now? And face palming as she tries to fix arinths bad teaching.

 

As for arinths drinking i just imagined something like his friends scolding him...him trying to sneak alcohol off as a normal drink...sneaking into the bar and just being humorously bad at it.

Ha ha ha, that sounds hilariously awesome and Arkin would have far too much fun telling Arinth off for drinking and then teasing him with drinks XD

btw, I replied to the menagerie one

We will have to get these going soon. They should be a blast. Now if only we could find where Yriel wandered off to.

 

(sorry about the menagerie one. I've been trying to get that written for days now. I'll have it up asap)

And through all of the hijinx and shinnainigans Zathrus Rides along watching you guys. Wondering why no one thought to ask him to help.
