"I don't know how to write," Trinket said. "I can read. I know every word in the world. But making the pen move the right way can be difficult. I need to practice."
She had been created with knowledge of all things. But knowledge was not experience. Knowing the shape of words wasn't the same as being able to duplicate it, just as knowing the shape of a sword didn't make one a blacksmith.
"I know what training is. Training is practice with other people teaching you stuff. But I don't have anyone to teach me."
"Will you teach me how to use an axe to split open the heads of my enemies? We can practice on a dummy first. I can make the dummy move, if it's not too big." Her power had limitations, she knew. She couldn't give commands to anything bigger than a dog or a chair. That was another thing she needed to practice. Though swinging an axe at someone's head would come first.
