imagine sylus home schooling the twins ! Would he be like those strict fathers?
okay i debated on this for a while.
first off, sylus would definitely home school the kids. in any scenario. he doesn’t trust the n109 zone to keep them safe while he’s away from them for eight hours a day, and he doesn’t trust the twins to not burn down a building. so, he would take on the responsibility of teaching them.
the thing is, he’s not super sure how to go about it.
see, sylus is a very intelligent man, but he’s mostly self-taught. he didn’t have that authority or parental figure to show him the ropes, so he’s not sure how to be that person for the twins. he also encourages their own independence and finding their own solutions. i guess what im trying to say is that their lessons would be very… unconventional.
don’t get me wrong, sylus isn’t neglecting their education. in fact, its one of his biggest priorities (beaten only by keeping them protected and loved), he’s just not sure how to go about it.
so they’re learning addition and subtraction, but also how to tell if you can trust someone, how to tell if someone is lying. sylus wants to make sure they won’t be hurt anymore if he can help it, and he wants to give them the tools to take care of themselves.
when reader comes along, she helps with the homeschooling. a bit more traditional, so to speak, since she’s familiar with a solid education system. whenever the twins complain about a new subject that’s difficult or boring or something they’ll never use, where sylus would hear their points and adjust accordingly, reader stands her ground. she makes it clear that not everything they’ll learn will help them later in life, but that’s not the point. she’s teaching them how to learn so that they’re not floundering on in the rest of their life.
sylus learns the importance of it all then. he didn’t realize that was what he needed to do to prepare the twins. he gave them all the tools to protect themselves, but he was floored to find that he hadn’t necessarily given them the tools to let themselves grow and develop.
he realizes how much he and reader even out and compliment each other. he’s got the tools, the strategy, the ‘street smarts,’ so to say. she’s got the understanding, the reasoning behind it, the small details behind the scenes even the ever-attentive sylus is missing.
maybe he should keep her around.
for the twins’ sake, obviously.
requests and asks open for crow family!
