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...!

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. ]
