His mate was worried about her lack of knowledge of things outside of Ketra, but Tobias had his worries firmly buried in Ketra as they left. How far outside the city would they have to be before the risk of having city guardsmen running them down vanished? He really didn't know how far Tessa's father's reach might extend. The man seemed rich enough to someone like Tobias, but he wasn't a lord or anything as far as he knew. Probably had some friends that were.
The werewolf glanced down at the beautiful woman pressed against his side as they walked, trying to give another reassuring smile. More than anything he wanted to soothe and comfort her.
"Alright, what to talk about..." Tobias hummed thoughtfully for a moment, before sighing softly, "I guess I have a confession to make, and I'm sure you've figured it out, but I can't read. Or write. Never learned, it wasn't exactly critical knowledge for a fisherman's son, you know? I needed to know how to repair nets, unhook snagged lines, fix the boat, the fence, the house, hunt for rabbits, care for livestock..."
He shrugged his shoulders, looking away from her a bit sheepishly. "I hope you're not too disappointed to be married to an uneducated man like me."
