[And what's wrong with serving tea?]

I used to have teachers. [People she trusted. People who were no longer here.] They taught me the basics, and from there, I started browsing the library and markets for any books in English and Kedanese I could. English was a lot easier to find than French, so it was never too hard.

[And, of course, Kedanese was everywhere.]

Some of those books, I've read so many times I've practically memorized every page.
