Ah, I get it. Guess the other kids didn't like the books as much?

[Weird. She knows it's just because of how different their worlds were--no one was going to teach some scruffy orphan how to read where she grew up, after all, nuns or no nuns--but it still somehow manages to catch her off-guard.

Yeah. Of course his orphanage would've been real fucking different from hers.

She shrugs.]

Hey, I ain't trying to be an intellectual or anything here, don't worry about it. Your reason's good, too, you know.
