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.

"Okay. I can do that. --The homework kills you?"
Sufficiency

"I wish I could do your homework so it wouldn't eat you."
Sufficiency
"You would need to know a lot of complicated things to do that, starting with how to read in English and Mandarin and do simple arithmetic, which is incidentally your exact class load."
Sufficiency
"If you learn things you can help me. And I am willing to help you learn things because that makes you less of a danger to me because it will mean you don't attract killer homework, and then you could maybe help me with my Mandarin lit class because you probably understand spoken Mandarin better than me even if your reading is terrible. You'll still probably get me killed for associating with a maleficer but frankly I doubt I can get rid of you at this point."

"I could... watch you quietly from far away to make sure you don't get hurt?"
Sufficiency
"I'm not helpless, I have a force spike spell and a rip-apart hex and my athame which is also spelled. I survived a year on my own after my sister died."

"But if there are two of us watching you you're even less likely to get hurt!"
