He saved my life. Technically.

[ it’s a little more complicated than that but... yeah ]

And then gave me somewhere to stay. He scared me a lot at first, and sometimes he still does but... he’s a better person than a lot of people I’ve met before.

[ her fingers are subconsciously moving slightly as she talks — not involuntary, but purposeful. but the motions are so small it’s difficult to see what she’s doing. ]

[maidforservice]

[aw. . . how sweet. and the motions may be so small Sharon can't see what she's doing, but. . . she still notices the movements, anyway]

He sounds like quite the dashing and brave soul

[hm]

Your hands. . .?

[chanteuser]

[ erm. hm. ]

Is that what you'd call it...?

[ nicholas brown, a DASHING soul. well. he is brave. she supposes. ]

Oh--[ she looks down at her hands in surprise. ]-- oh, I'm signing. Sort of. Nicholas is deaf.

[maidforservice]

That's precisely what I'd call it. You wouldn't?

[she may be teasing a bit]

And I see. It must be muscle memory to sign everything you speak, then.

[chanteuser]

[ she makes a sort of amused, noise. the dashing part is still amusing her. ]

It's good to practice. I'm not that good at it, honestly. So... ... [ she shrugs, almost a little awkwardly ]

Practice makes perfect.

[maidforservice]

[a thoughtful pause, and Sharon lifts one hand to her chin]

Would you mind teaching me what you know about sign language? I'm afraid I've no experience with such a thing myself.

[chanteuser]

[ oh... the pressure ]

I can, but... I'm really, really a beginner myself. But I know letters and some basic phrases, so if that's enough...?

[maidforservice]

Heehee, that's more than enough. Any bit of knowledge is more than I had before.

[chanteuser]

[ twirls aggressively into al's arms YOU! GOT! YOUR! GRADE! AND! CAAAAKKKEEEE!!! ]

Alright then. Um... did you want to start now, or meet up later?

[ ... her shark is probably still biting at sharon's dino's head while all this is going on, for the visual. ]

[maidforservice]

[I DID!!!!!!! IT WAS DELICIOUS CAKE]

Is there a reason we cannot start now?

[it's fine, the dino died a long time ago]

[chanteuser]

No? I didn't know if you were still exploring or had anything to do. We can start now.

[ she's looking for a spot where they can comfortably learn! and not! just be standing there for hours waving their hands at each other ]

[idk the Emporium probably has some bean bags somewhere? anyway, Sharon delicately places the T-rex toy down to find a bean bag chair]

Don't worry, I have no appointments that need to be kept. ♥ You have my full attention, Lady Alex.

[chanteuser]

[ cosy. ]

Alright then... I guess I'll start with the alphabet? If you can't sign a word you can finger-spell it. It takes longer and it's a bit awkward but... if you're only saying one word it isn't too bad.

[ i don't even know where gangsta is in the world and even though the anime used JSL for obvious reasons i'm gonna keep assuming it's au-America and use this ]

[ she makes a fist with her thumb sticking up. ]

This is "A". And then you extend you fingers and curl your thumb into your palm for "B".

[maidforservice]

[THIS WORKS FOR ME!! SHARON DOESN'T KNOW WHAT JAPAN OR AMERICA ARE ANYWAY!!]

I see. Like this?

[mimicking that motion! also since we started another PC Becks this is probably a good place to FADE INTO ETHER]
