Ferra wanted to curl up and just disappear, but she'd already said she would read this story to D'io and help him learn to read and what sort of teacher ran away from something like an embarrassing word? She couldn't even hide her face since the closest thing was the man himself and that just would not do. So she squirmed uncomfortably, adjusting her injured leg with a small wince as she found the only way to really be comfortable and in a position where he could easily see the words was to stay practically glued to his side.
There was still the word though... she sighed and shook her head. "I guess it does sound better but I can't just replace it because you're learning to read... so... um. That one," Ferra pointed at the offending letters as her face blushed. "That's the one." She then did her best to read the rest of the section without dying of embarrassment even though it was mostly day dreaming and without even having a woman there in person at all. Once she was done with that chapter she paused to just catch her breath and try to mentally congratulate herself on making it through such a harrowing passage. She could do this! Maybe. Hopefully there weren't any other scenes like that!
"So... did... did you want to keep going? Or save the rest for later? I can keep going now, but I don't know if you have other things to do and I don't know if you've eaten lunch or anything and we still have at least half of the story left." Ferra was torn between hoping D'io wanted her to keep going, and being afraid that he wanted her to. She was actually mostly enjoying herself and that filled her with some sort of dread that maybe something was going to go terribly wrong.
