Sans-Serif smiles happily as S-4 moves aside. He clambers up onto the couch with him without hesitation, leaning against his brother to get comfortable. S-4 is as comfortable to lean against as ever, and Sans-Serif really is still sleepy. If he fell asleep here while S-4 was busy reading, that probably meant he wouldn't go away, didn't it?
But curiosity is a powerful force, and Sans-Serif rubs at his eyesockets to keep them open as he stares down at the page. "but it's talking. i didn't know birds could talk. not like we can." But in the next instant, an explanation occurs, and he nods sagely. "i bet this book was written in bird-language first. and then someone wrote it into monsterspeak later. so it's probably still talking like a bird."
As satisfying an explanation as that is, though, it doesn't solve the problem at hand. He frowns thoughtfully, tapping a finger beside his brother's on the page.
"it sounds like 'brother'...but maybe it's not the same. 'hat' and, and 'cat' sound like each other, but they aren't the same." Despite his frustrations with learning to read, Sans-Serif has made enough progress to know that much.
