If there was someone that Doug got off on the wrong foot with, it was definitely Betsy. Harassing her while he was a vampire and threatening to drop her off a roof probably didn't make the best first impression. Luckily, Betsy didn't seem to hold that against him, even though since Halloween, he'd been trying everything and bending backward to make up for it. Whenever he saw her, he'd skitter over to her like a puppy and offer to carry her books and open doors for her and buy her lunch and offer to do her homework for her if she wanted. He was just trying to do everything he could to undo the damages done during the Halloween spell.
So when Betsy asked him to help translate some Japanese fashion magazines, he'd agreed to it in a heartbeat. Never mind that fashion wasn't exactly his primary interest. He just wanted to please Betsy. Although when he saw the magazines, he was very curious. He was an enthusiastic learner first and foremost, so learning about Japanese fashion trends weren't so bad!
Going through every page and translating words by words would take too long so he was letting Betsy read quietly and whenever she had a question or needed clarification, he would jump in to help and translate the text for her. It sure beat using Google Translate.
"Oh hey, do you want something to drink while you read?" he offered with a smile, already standing up to fetch whatever she desired. "I can get some from the vending machine."
