A few days after welcoming Dil into their new home, Dan and Phil were on the search for an English tutor to assist them in their mission. Dan was currently looking at English tutors for children, deciding that with Dil's nonexistent experience in modern languages, there was no other language a tutor would be able to teach Dil using.
Dan had his earphones in, Muse playing full blast, when he noticed a tutor that looked like what could be a perfect match.
"Talia McGregor, qualified English tutor for children and illiterate adults. Scroll over to find out more..."
The tutor, as she sounded, was a stereotypical Scottish redhead with a freckled face and green eyes. Her prices weren't bad, and neither were her reviews. She was perfect! Dan was very proud of his discovery, and decided to let Phil know. He walked through to the lounge, expecting to find the two other males in the house, but after wondering where else they could be, heard a loud "clang" noise coming from the kitchen.
"What the..."
Dan hurried through to the kitchen, finding a distraught Dil and shocked Phil staring at the ceiling. Glancing up, he too was panicked.
One, two, wait-three pancakes, had been misplaced on Dan and Phil's kitchen ceiling. How had he missed this the first two times?
Dil was looking very embarrassed(no change there), and Phil was looking at Dan as if to say "What was I supposed to do?"
The three scraped the mix down, cleaned up the leftover mess, and decided to just heat up some ready-made pancakes as they'd already wasted a ton of time.
When in the lounge, eating his Nutella-topped pancakes, Dan brought up the subject of Dil's tutor with Phil.
"So, I think I've found the perfect English tutor for Dil."Dan began.
"Really? That's great!" Phil enthused.
"Yeah, she seems really nice. D'you wanna help me write an email to her?"
"Dan, can't you write an email yourself?"
"Yeah..I guess. I just don't want to fuck anything up, this whole Dil situation is really important to me."
"Me too, c'mon, let's go write that email."
They opened up Phil's macbook, as it was closest, and loaded Phil's gmail.

Subject: Tutoring a friend of ours.
Dear Ms. Talia McGregor,
My friend Dan and I would like to request your assistance concerning a friend of ours. He doesn't speak English, or any language at all, and we'd like your help in the matter. You see, he had an unusual upbringing, and comes from an unusual place, so he's a very unusual, and sometimes a little disturbing, person. We'll gladly pay a little extra for you to tutor him, so long as you try your hardest to have him learn English. Not only will him speaking English help us understand his speaking, but it will also help us understand him overall.
If you would like to sort an arrangement, you can reply to this email, or for a more urgent reply, call me on: 07********* or Dan on: 07*********
Thank you for your help,
Philip Lester
YouTube vlogger, BBC Radio 1 Presenter and extreme Buffy the Vampire Slayer enthusiast.

"Send." Phil stated, pressing the 'Enter' button on his keyboard.
"And now we wait." Dan stated, glancing over at Dil, who was watching The Great British Bake Off.
Phil closed over his laptop, and took their plates through to the kitchen. He cleaned up a little, loading up the dishwasher and wiping down the kitchen counter. Once he was done, he decided that he would edit his new YouTube video.

Hello everybody! I was very shocked when this story reached 400 views-thank you very, very much! I've tried a little harder on this chapter, in an attempt to make it longer but with a quicker update. Next chapter will most likely feature a lot of interaction with Talia, but first I'll need to decide what she's like! If you've got any suggestions for her character, leave them in the comments, I'm always open to suggestions.
If you've enjoyed this chapter, and story, then please be sure to give it a vote and share it with your friends! Thanks guys :)
