[ he will lead the way off to the refectory which is a word i cannot spell. off we go! as for the question: ]
Mhm. They're the only real source of information that we have right now, right...? And I have a lot of questions. Plus, I liked talking to Death, yesterday - I think they're actually pretty nice.

-- Well! If you ever need anyone to talk to someone else because you don't want to, just call on me, and I'll be there! I like talking to people [ no kidding, rondo ] and I end up doing it a lot, anyway!
I only just started learning, so I don't know how good a teacher I'll be. But I can try.
Like... [ she does the fist on palm, thumb up gesture for 'help.'] That means help. [ and then after thinking, puts her fingertips together, then spreads her hands and spreads her fingers? ] That means light.
[ rondo starts to imitate the gesture. fist on palm, thumb up - help... and then fingertips and spread hands - light. he looks to ashlyn to watch her movements, copying them very carefully, and also looking for a little bit of approval. like this?
she makes a good point as he's practicing the help one again. help, light. ]
Hmm... is there one for knight? [ why would she know that ] Or... sword? Or...talk?
There... are, but I don't know them. [ me looking them up anyway and going also these are not subtle either. ]
I know quiet. [ hands in an x, then spread out. ] Or... weapon? [ that's kind of close? she points one finger out, then slides her other index finger across it. ]
[ he imitates the fire one big at first... and then brings it down near his chest and like. wiggles his fingers. just a little bit. little fire. ] Like that? We could make them smaller...!

no subject
Yeah... It's annoying to have to talk to people so much, but it's better to see what more we can find out.
I talked to Famine yesterday. They weren't too bad.

[ this is such a genuine question ]

I like talking to you, though, Miss Ashlyn.
no subject
Oh. Uh, yeah. I'll just have to deal with it since we're all on the same team here and communication is important. So.
[ ... awkwardly stilted: ] Thanks. Though.
no subject
Mm. That's true! Maybe it's the kind of thing that gets easier with time...? I have faith in your success.
[ his smile back to her is very warm because of course it is. ]
Anytime. And if you ever need a rescue from a conversation, I can definitely help with that!
no subject
... What, like a hand-signal that means "come distract this guy"?
[ that actually doesn't sound like the worst thing to have. honestly. ]
no subject
That's a great idea! Something subtle, that people wouldn't notice too much...
[ he puts his hand on his chin... hmmm ]
no subject
We could use sign language. "Help" stands out a bit, though.
no subject
[ we are going to make this happen because he is taking this So Seriously ]

no subject
Oh, weapon's not too bad! [ rondo imitates it? two index fingers! ] You could do that off to the side, right? Though, it doesn't really fit...
[ i don't think that actually matters rondo ] - Oh, what about fire?
no subject
has to think about fire for a second but then wiggles her fingers moving her hands up and down a few times. ] That one's also pretty big.
[ but even if it doesn't work for what they're talking about she thinks these are good ones to know in case of an emergency. ]
no subject
[ he imitates the fire one big at first... and then brings it down near his chest and like. wiggles his fingers. just a little bit. little fire. ] Like that? We could make them smaller...!
no subject
[ she copies him. hands at her chest and then just. wiggly fingers. ]
no subject
So!! If you do that during a conversation and I see it, I'll run over and save you.
no subject
I... [ words. hrmg. ] Appreciate it.
no subject
Of course! I'm happy to help.

no subject
...How about 'friend'?
no subject
she hooks one index finger around the other to interlock them. then does it again with the other hand on top. ]
Like that.
