Which: Open log
Where: In town
What: Sign Language lessons/practice, SAD BOI MISSING HIS NOT!MOM & UNCLES
Warnings: threads could be so sweet your teeth will fall out
[ Shigeru is...gone, now. Unnamed understands that. He misses him a lot (a lot), but he doesn't think that Shigeru would want him to sit around moping about it day in and day out. Shigeru liked to help him--has helped him, and now that he's feeling a little more confident about it, Unnamed decides that it's time to start this day off with something helpful. Something good. ]

Shigeru teach Sign Language Lessons before but Shigeru gone now.
I can teach
I am deaf and cannot talk! Please Sign with me and use journals to read write.
Thank you
Today I practice with friends at Town. You come too if you want
[ And just like he says, Unnamed is sitting and waiting in the main plaza near a fountain, his journal propped up against its side with the words "SIGN LANGUAGE" printed in large font. He's hoping one or two people will at least show up, but that isn't necessary to interact with him. If he sees someone he knows he'll lift a hand to wave and come to greet them.
A lot of people he knows have gone home recently okay he needs to make sure you don't go anywhere either ;w; ]
Auh!
[ GREETINGS. ]

Link??
no subject
No. Ema. Ema Skye.
But I know Link. He also breathed fire?
no subject
[ Even recalling it now makes him feel like shuddering. He's glad it was a one-off thing, he can't imagine living with breathing fire all the time.. ]
Is Ema Skye your friend?
no subject
She was.
[ She wonders if she should just leave at that, but she doesn't want him to get any wrong ideas. ]
She has returned to the waking world now. [ Just like father. ]
no subject
Waking world is go home?
[ he asks, all-too-familiar now with the sense of loss that departure provokes. He looks at Susato with concern despite the hollow ache inside his own chest at the thought. ]
no subject
But it's okay. It has been some months already.
no subject
[ The mention of Shigeru causes his shoulders slump before he can help it. He misses Shihgeru so much. It hurts to think of him--and he can only imagine how poor Susato must feel. ]
Sad gets smaller with months?
1/2
It does. Don't worry.
no subject
I know. Why don't you teach me your favorite word, or a word that makes you think of him? [ And then she'll hold up her hands. She's ready to learn! ]
no subject
"Glasses." It's a small, simple sign, but when he uses it, all he can think of is the man who taught it to him. ]
It is glasses. Shigeru's Sign Name is Yellow Glasses. So glasses.
no subject
What name would you give me?
no subject
except Shealtiel, he's Frog Lick foreverHe thinks hard for several long moments.
"Soft...Face?" He prints it out for her as well, looking uncertain. ]
Because smile looks very nice!
no subject
I also have a friend who calls me "Loops" — because of these.
[ She uses her pen like a wand, gently tracing one of the loops making up her hair. ]
no subject
[ "Loops" is a new word! He makes sure to make a mental note about it for later, awed by the way her hair is done up now that his attention is drawn to it. He thought it was just a ponytail--he didn't realizes it was hooked around like that.
That's cool. ]
How your hair make like that?
no subject
I can show you if you teach me some more words.
[ Though, without even waiting for him to agree, she's already moving to undo one of her loops. ]
no subject
Ouhh...
[ She. she has a lot more hair than he thought when it comes down, whoa. ]
no subject
Then she'll move on to demonstrate how to put the loops back, step by step.
Once she's done with the first, she'll allow him to help with the second. ]
no subject
[ OH HE GETS TO HELP, Susatooooo--he's never helped anyone with their hair before. He's a little apprehensive, a little excited, and very careful in the way he tries to mimic the steps she's shown him to help with the second loop. His fine motor skills aren't the best so there are times he's a little clumsy, but he does his best to help her pin the second loop up.
Regardless of the aesthetic outcome, he still holds his journal up to her afterwards with a bright: ]
Pretty!
no subject
Thank you!
[ There is a thoughtful pause. The grin fades as she tries to remember, but then she finally puts a hand over her mouth, letting it fall forward toward him. ]
ohhh my gosh my heart ;w; susatoooo
"You're welcome!" He can't sign back to her fast enough; it's clear that just that is enough to make him very, very happy. ]
You Signed! Thank-you!
hehehe! i've wanted zomboi cr since our brief stint on the dreamr meme
It was one of the first things I learned. That, and...
[ She pauses, before making her hand into a fist. Pressing it to her chest, she makes small circular motions. ]
I'm so happy we got there<33
Yes. Very important Sign! Good you know it.
do you wanna wave this one off to make room for something new soon? c:
Oof. Susato is a Neat Freak to a high degree, so she really wouldn't like the sounds of that. Perhaps she would have gotten along better with Shigeru than she expected. They won't find out...maybe not "ever," but at least for a while. ]
Yes, I agree.
[ He'll probably take over from here. Susato makes herself comfortable and inquires after more words and phrases that he thinks should be important. She'll be taking notes as well! ]
that sounds good! C:
