I know. Don't worry, I've spoken to someone about it. I don't expect to be able to defeat a monster, but hopefully I'll learn enough to keep myself safe.
That's a start, I guess. As long as you can buy yourself enough time to get out of something dangerous that's probably what's most important right now.
If you use it enough, you can pick it up decently? I'm not expecting to be able to teach you how to be fluent but... something like knowing the sign for danger might be helpful if you're far enough away that you couldn't hear someone shout it.
Yes, that was what I was thinking. I can teach you the alphabet and some basic phrases? And if you're picking it up and aren't struggling too much we can go from there?
Oh, but-- most importantly. [ she makes a motion with her hands, crossing her left palm under the right and holding it against her chest, and making a stabbing motion towards herself with her thumb. ] Danger.
... It could've been a lot worse. That was still... technically both of you messing around in space. [ reckless!!! ]
I don't mind. Izumo's been learning from me as well, and so has Sharon. [ me, quickly checking what day this was set on: ] Hopefully I'm doing better at teaching now than I was a week or so ago?
We had to make sure nothing was going to leave the moon and come to town. And nobody else went after us, so that has to count.
[rip in future sharon.] I'm sure you're doing fine though. You seem like you'd make a good teacher. [alex has a good amount of patience and also does not take shit, so.] But okay. Then count me in.
You normally have to be more of an expert and less of a learner yourself to be teaching but... [ Worick's not here and she doesn't have the sign language book, so! This is what they're stuck with. ]
Okay. I'm not sure when the best time to start would be... maybe after this weekend?

no subject
Yeah. I’m not foolish enough to think I could take on half the people here and win.
no subject
You're doing better than some of us then by knowing your limits. That's not a bad thing at all.
no subject
[ honestly.

Hey, Sora. [ convenient topic change ] What did you and Izumo do?
no subject
[...but he looks away then.] ...did you already talk to her? What'd she say?
no subject
[ ... and apparently she's right. ]
Did you want to learn some sign language?
no subject
You know it enough to teach? [it sounds more rude that he means it, but mostly he's curious since alex's hearing seems fine.]
no subject
[ oh. ]
Well... uh, I'm only a beginner. But my roommate is deaf.
no subject
Oh. Then I guess you would know. [he considers that.] Is it easy to learn?
no subject
[ she just. looks so tired. ] Sora...

That would be pretty useful though. Especially if something else happens like what happened this week and we can't talk to each other.

she's just disappointed. ]

give him a second to watch her hands though, bringing his own up to mimic the motions. it's not perfect, but he gets the general idea.]
Got it. ...if you really wouldn't mind, I think that'd be helpful for a couple of things.

That sounds good to me. Once we know what might be happening around town and across the bridge, we can decide an actual day.
