It was no secret that Tom had a few trust issues, no matter how hard he tried to conceal them. Recent events hadn’t exactly helped with that, he knew; he just hoped it all ‘blew over’ before it could get any worse. The optimist in him was telling him that things could only get better… the realist, on the other hand, had other ideas.
“Kitten could use the familiarity of someone who understands her,” Tom agreed, nodding his head thoughtfully. Just because Tom had been the type to want to avoid education when he was Kitten’s age, that didn’t mean she should be denied the simple rights that all children deserved; to be taught and understood… to learn. “And I appreciate the effort.”

"She seems very willing to learn, not least becasue I feel she wishes to talk to you better," Peter answered, giving Tom a genuine smile. He gathered up the books around him, mentally marking off which would be usful in the coming days. Until they reached London, Peter had little to do and he was quickly finding himself bored despite the grand number of books to read - you could only read so many books.
"I admit, it was partly selfish reasons that I ask. I am at rather a loose end and it would keep me occurpied."

Tom couldn’t help but smile, glancing down at Kitten affectionately as Peter said why he suspected she was so eager to learn. He wanted to be able to talk with her better as well, but he didn’t want to make her feel as though she was being pressured. She had been through a lot in her life, after all, and he didn’t want to rush her in anything.
“Well, there’s no one else to teach her, really. Captain Nemo obviously has other responsibilities, and the only other people who can talk with Kitten are the crew; they all have their duties on the ship, so you’d be doing us all a favour.” It wouldn’t hurt to give Kitten a new ‘friend’ either; help her broaden her horizons of people she could talk with, and feel as if she could trust. True, Tom didn’t trust Peter himself yet, but it was possible he was just being paranoid.

"That took forever," Noriko complained, looking at the finally finished jar of medicinal cream. It certainly did feel like it had been ages since they began the project, and Elizabeth couldn't fault the child for growing a bit restless.
"Yes, but look what you've accomplished," she told her young student soothingly. "I'll bet Dr. Jekyll won't be able to tell the difference between your cream and the cream I've made him in the past."
"Can we take it to him now?" Noriko appeared suitably mollified by the praise, and even seemed to become more enthusiastic once again. Clearly, she was anxious to test the doctor's ability to recognize any differences between the product of the master and the novice.
"All right. Rodney? Will you join us?"
"Thanks, love, but I think I'll head for me own quarters for a spell. Smellin' all these herbs has made me a mite sleepy; think I'm due for a bit of a lie-in. You girls go on and have fun." Skinner stood, kissed Elizabeth's cheek, and gave Noriko's head a fond pat before disappearing in a flurry of leather and greasepaint.
"Looks like it will just be ourselves, then. All right....put the lid on firmly. That's it. Now pick it up very carefully. You've got it? Very good. Let's go show the doctor what you've learned." Smiling, Elizabeth led the way from her cabin to the infirmary.
