Squirrel! Period one

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

"Hello." Jon sighed. "I will freely admit this is another instance of 'the moose decides Mr. Sims needs to teach something ridiculous'. At least it's not tea again. I suppose I'll be getting together focusing techniques and such in the future, but conveniently, the first day is generally for introductions, and since we're the first class, you can't even have gotten sick of them yet."

He gestured. "So, just in case you don't know each other, let's do introductions. I am Jonathan Sims, he/him. I am from England in the present day. I've been teaching here for a few years, and generally enjoying it despite the moose's best attempts. Now you." He gestured at the first student.

He'd been here for seven months and he'd been barely literate when he arrived. "Er," Henry said. "What's online?"

"Er." Jon blinked. "I assumed you had a phone. Most people get one first thing. If you need help, I'll do my best."

Jon, he was a medieval peasant, come now.

"Phones! I've seen those," Henry agreed. "They're very bright and the letters are very small, though, aren't they?"

"Generally, but you can adjust both of those," Jon said. "They're very useful to have in this time."

"So I've been told," Henry agreed.

The one phone he'd looked at for any long period of time made his head hurt and was nearly impossible for him to decipher, but he'd been told!

Jon wasn't going to make him have one! Some people didn't. Although admittedly, most of them were luddites rather than from far in the past. At least Henry had a reason.
