It seemed to her, however, that one of the picture in that art gallery could have depicted the scene in front of her eyes. A young boy calmly correcting spelling mistakes another person had etched into a blackened stone wall? That sounded about right.

"Lannes," she said to Nancy (how glad Kiri was she was there now) with forced calm, "is, as you can see, correcting spelling mistakes on the wall. I'm, er, not sure why he's doing that, though." She turned and glared at the boy. It didn't help that they were practically the same height - her glare was rather ineffective. "Why are you doing that, Lannes?"

The two stared at one another for some time again. Lannes was bewildered why she would be shocked by his actions. He then responded
"Because it is misspelled."

He knew there that his answer wouldn't suffice.

"You see, if we just walk idly by as someone makes a mistake, then they view it as an act of affirmation. Instead, I am merely showing these wretched barbarians that if they wish to be vandals, at least they should honor their pen and spell correctly. Now you understand."

He doubted if they did, or if they understood any of his actions. He thought to himself, wondering, they probably think it's weird that I can't catch a football ball, wait...that's a muggle sport...
