He shook his head, but nevertheless set to work. He first substituted all the clues he was given. He gave me quite a bit to work with, actually. He scribbled what he knew underneath the original message.



Okay. Easy part done. Now it was time for the hard part--the rest of it!


Alec grinned back at Pao and gave him a thumbs up in return. At least the little dude wasn't mad at him. Or... the librarian for that matter. Alec turned his head and looked around. Okay... so they were safe for now. Perfect! He turned back just in time to hear...

... Yeah. So Pao did think his message was a bit long. But... Alec thought his message was nice! And really true as well. Nodnod. The fourteen year old shrugged and grinned sheepishly at the guy before saying, "I'm... really sorry?"

Right. Yeah. Time to solve a cryptogram!

So first things first... Pao had said that the Q was still a Q and the X was a C. Alec scribbled in the correct letters underneath before letting a frown form across his face. There was more than one X in there so... yeah. Scribbleeeeeee... And OH! The first letter! It had to be either I or A, right? Because... well... the only time someone would use any of the other letters was when... they were talking about that letter, right? Or U in text speak.

...

He would be seriously surprised if Pao decided to use U instead of 'you' here. Shrugging, Alec scribbled down what he knew as well as his first guess.
