The glare he got at being told he needed to read the text probably told Mizuki plenty. He knew that was what the old man was expecting but it was the last thing he wanted to do to say the least. Read aloud he says... Though honestly he was still going over some of the words to even read what they were let alone aloud.

Normally Thal would give in to Mizuki but he just had a bad feeling about this door. This was a bit unfair in truth. Mizuki was already pissed so if he declined than it would make matters worse. But in all honestly he really didn't want to open the door or have any chance of doing so. Though maybe he could tell sort of a fib but not really. Well it was true he was still reading a few of the words trying to figure them out in his head... that didn't mean he had to tell Mizuki that he could read most of them.

"And if I told you i cant read it? I can't even make out half of them let alone the whole phrase." Though Mizuki seemed to have something else in his mind seeing the look on his face. Why did something tell him that Mizuki was going to get what he wanted in some way or another. Though it wasn't like he really lied, he couldn't make out a few of them just off the top of his head. It had been quite a few years when he last had to read this stuff.

"I mean it's been over 150 years when I last had to use this stuff.." Ok so given a few minutes he could probably figure out the few words he wasn't sure of, or fill in the blanks himself. It was more getting the correct word in this tongue. Though Mizuki looked unconvinced of this. "what you want me to read it and get it wrong.. done that before and normally there is a cost to such mistakes."
