After dinner, Lily goes up to the library and takes out the best teaching book on Latin she can find, as well as a Latin to English dictionary, and starts writing down vocabulary in cramped cursive script, as well as neat notes on grammar. Her carrol is a bit out of the way, since she doesn't have anyone to sit with.

This is the hardest thing Xue Yang has ever done but he just keeps reminding himself that he's good.
Sufficiency
Enough time passes that she can almost forget he's there. He really is being good.
She gives him another small handful of smarties for proper behaviour.

!!!!!!!
He goes into the library and obtains another book. In this one the letters have different shapes. Maybe it's intended to be decorative?
Sufficiency
She returns to studying, since Xue Yang seems to be occupying himself.

Being quiet until Lily talks to him is VERY HARD but Xue Yang is VERY DETERMINED.
At a certain point a bunch of pretty lights start dancing in front of his eyes and he can entertain himself for a long time by watching them.
Sufficiency
Eventually she's stuffed enough Latin into her brain that she should really change topics and do her homework.
Xue Yang's being really quiet. She glances down at him and sees him staring off into space. Yep, that seems about the size of it.
God damn it why is she getting attached to the crazy high maleficer boy. This is absolutely the worst thing she could possibly do for her survival.
"Hey," she asks. "You okay?"

He was good! And now Lily is talking to him.
He says, "you're the best person in the whole world. If anyone is ever mean to you I'm going to murder them."
Sufficiency
Well that's a nice little reminder. "Please don't murder people for me, it'll probably get me killed."
test-the-gods-spoil-the-fates
"If you don't kill people when they insult you then they'll think you're a wimp and kill you."
Sufficiency
"The people here don't do that. They do kill you if you do murders. Trust me on this."
test-the-gods-spoil-the-fates
Lily is very naive and has no idea how the world works. He will have to protect her with murders. Quiet murders.
He tries to think about what else you should do for people who are very good.
"Do you want to fuck?"
Sufficiency
"Somehow I seriously doubt that's true especially when you're intoxicated."
test-the-gods-spoil-the-fates
"I haven't had sex with a girl but I bet it's the same principle."
Sufficiency
"The same principle... as what?"
She should not have asked that but it's like she's staring at an ongoing trainwreck and she can't look away.

"Sex with men? You moan a bit and act like you like them and don't use teeth."
