Since Jamie's arrival, there'd been plenty of things that he'd figured out, in one way or another. He'd gotten an idea what the world around him was like, managed to learn his way around Skyhold without getting too terribly lost, and even discovered what the mark on his hand was for - well, to a certain extent, anyway. He wasn't sure if there was more to it than 'point it at the rift and use your will to close it', but for now he was happy enough to have at least some sort of an idea of what was going on there.

What he still hadn't had any luck with was his learning to read. If the Doctor had been here, or Zoe - or even Victoria - he knew they'd have likely sussed it out by now, and he could've asked them for help. They weren't, though, and left to his own devices he was getting exactly nowhere. Today was another one of those days, one where he'd gone to the library to have a go at trying to figure things out, only to wind up realizing partway through that he'd been looking at the book upside down...again. It was beyond frustrating, and he pushed the book aside without bothering to turn it back around, angling his head so he could rest it on the back of his chair and try not to give into the urge to hit it against there instead.

"Och, what's the point?"
