( Yeah let's go with that instead of 'oh forgot I can't read these stupid books'. Will slid his own books to the side as it was became obvious they were going to be harder work to read. Instead he took a look at hers, trying to make out the cover or spine title. Something about plants? That was the only thing that made sense. )
Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. What are you trying to read about?
You got me there. Plants aren't exactly my specialty, that's more Demeter's thing. Any particular type of plant? Not that I'd be able to actually help, but you got me curious. What's your project?
( Will relaxed at the table, trying to remember all the tricks he learned at managing his dyslexia before he had just given up at Camp and switched to reading ancient greek.)
( which made it kind of a personal project but adrienne didn't know how much she'd continue with this topic. earth plants weren't even anything she was knowledgeable about so native plants might not be useful information for her )
I'm just trying to learn more about this place than what's obvious in conversation. So... plants.
(That was totally the same thing but Will didn't argue with her.)
Have you talked to Nadine? She's pretty into plants and their medicinal effects. She might be able to help. Or suggest some books that might be more on topic.
(Will shrugged. Maybe she wanted to keep looking by herself? Finding her way around like a putting a puzzle together not knowing what the final result was. Could be fun?)
I don't really know what I'm looking for either. First time here too. I thought I'd read up on local medical techniques or something but. I'm having problems uh....translating?
(Sure, no one else seemed to be having problems reading. Yay him.)

( not that she expected a recommendation because that would be a wild chance )
There are a lot of books here, I just need to look closer before picking one, check what fits.
( plants are also not something she's knowledgeable about anyway so there's always going to be some struggles )

( she also didn't know who nadine was but that was a separate thing )
It's the first time I've been here, I'm just... looking.

( though she doesn't yet know enough about the verbal translation to assume it would work on written things also. she's not yet tried.
adrienne reaches for her books, drawing them back towards her to stand )
I should get these put back. Good luck.
