Penelope waited as he took a moment to think of a word and shifted to place a new sheet of paper in front of her. As he turned to her and asked her to show him how to write her name, the knight smiled fondly at the thief, warmed that he had chosen her name as the first word to learn. She nodded her head and shifted the paper she had written the alphabet on in front of him while she kept the blank paper in front of her so she could still write. 

"Ok so to spell my name it's P..E...N..E..L..O..P..E." She went slowly, pointing to each individual letter on the alphabet itself to him before writing them down to spell out her name. The knight also tried to keep her writing as clean as she possibly could. Admittedly, she was a bit out of practice. She hadn't written in quite some time so going slow was also partially so it'd even be legible. As she finished, she turned back to Crow. 

"Obviously the letters don't always sound like how they're said... Like for example, E is usually pronounced more like 'eh' and P is  usually 'puh'. They all pretty much have that.. Plus there's a few other things that might change their sound but we won't focus on that." Penelope gave a dismissive wave. She didn't want to get into things that were too complicated when he was just barely starting. From what she knew about teaching, you had to start with the basics first. So getting him more familiar with what the letters looked and sounded like seemed like the best first step. 

She smiled at him and held out the quill to him. "Ready to give writing a try?"
