[ Said easily enough. If the lance on his back wasn't already an indication of that shit. ]
I did not grow up reading much -- most of it was taught to me by the Scholasticate ere I came to Ishgard. I found I didn't care for it. I put up with it enough to be able to read and write reports efficiently, but I wouldn't choose to do it more than necessary.
