To Teach

I placed my hands at my lips, breathing deep as I closed my eyes. Focusing. Trying to think. I had no idea how this individual had ended up in front of me with so little basic knowledge. Knowledge that I had thought every child had learned in elementary school. Had things progressed so far that the basics were no longer taught? Were children expected to know this before even starting school? Or had this particular individual just missed the lessons? I didn't know. I didn't dare ask. I open my eyes and smile, dropping my hands. "Alright." I said with a shrug. "I can show you how to do that, just give me a moment to grab the proper gear."
