[Steve watches Lawrence with fascination when he enters, subtly sniffing the air after him. He smells almost human, and yet Not. Something more; a superior evolution, similar to himself. There was no heartbeat or pulse yet Lawrence was distinctly, undoubtedly, alive.
That wasn't the only reason he'd invited him over, of course. Not everyone he intended to have, or rather hoped to have, as friends were potential blood donors. No, there was a simply a bizarre sense to help him. More than a bit of that was evident in the sermon. Steve revealed as much about himself as he was trying to aid the other man sort through his own issues. Not that Lawrence knew that, of course.
There's a small half-laugh at Lawrence's assessment and he can't resist bowing, spreading his arms wide.] Y'know, I get that a lot. Well, not here, but back home. And you ain't so bad yourself, despite whatever your foolish Maker intended.
[He winks playfully and rolls up his sleeves and starts walking towards The Teaching Corner, turning so he could face his guest.] Alright, so you know what a gun is. Obviously. Just as much as a saddle, a horse, all of it. Enough to speak the word aloud, so we'll start there. Sounding them out on paper first, heck, even writin' the words yourself if you were so inclined. But, baby steps. [He gestures to the alphabet banner.] And by baby steps, I mean breakin' down every word to the basic elements, and that being these letters.
