Around the Castles and Dorms, Saturday Evening

[so_hawkward]

So, Clint was aware of a few things by now: no one could hear anything, there were some freaky looking creatures flying around, and freaky looking creature claws plus bouncy castles was probably a bad combination. If Clint had been a student he'd have headed for the dorms, so he figured the area between the dorms and the castles was probably a good place to patrol and keep an eye on things. For the moment, he was looking around for a good tree to climb and survey things from, and trying to decide if watching people from trees was a little too creepy.

Bay waved a hand back over her shoulder toward the dorms, looking embarrassed. "I wanted some air and thought the coast was clear," she said. "Dumb me, huh?"

She signed as she spoke; she doubted Clint would understand it, since no one had, but there was always the chance.

[OOC: So sorry -- my night fell apart on me. SP?]

[so_hawkward]

Clint perked up as he watched her, and signed back No, not dumb. Just when he'd thought no one would understand him, it was nice to be pleasantly surprised.

[SP will give me something to do tomorrow yaaay! :D]

[justbeingbay]

Bay's eyes brightened with appreciation. Thanks, she signed back. But it was still good you were around.

As a separate thought, she added, I was starting to think I was the only one on the island who knows ASL.

[so_hawkward]

Me too. Did you learn for fun or do you know someone who's Deaf?

In Clint's defense, he was keeping an eye out for their safety while signing. Hurray multitasking!

[justbeingbay]

For my sister and my ex, Bay explained, glancing away just long enough to make sure nothing was about to attack. (Multitasking was fun for everyone!) You?

[so_hawkward]

Clint pointed at himself and gave her a small smile. My hearing's kind of eh. That was one way of putting it. And I like languages. Didn't think I'd use this one here though.

[justbeingbay]

Bay's eyes widened in surprise. I never would have known you had a problem from class. And languages are awesome. You learn them faster when you need to use them, right?

[so_hawkward]

It's not a big problem,. Clint was not good at receiving pity, for real. I need more ASL practice so I guess this is a good excuse.

[justbeingbay]

Me too, but next time I want it without the bird d-e-m-o-n-s.

Bay shrugged apologetically after the fingerspelling, but she didn't know the sign; there wasn't a lot of need to talk about evil creatures back in Kansas City.

[so_hawkward]

Target practice is fun! Clint was a strange optimist, sorry Bay. If you want to practice with signing, we could practice sometime. I definitely need it.

[justbeingbay]

Do I get extra credit if I sign with you in class?

Kidding not kidding.

[so_hawkward]

Everyone's getting an A but you might get a A plus.

He didn't know if that grade even existed, but hey, it was worth a shot.

[justbeingbay]

Bay pumped her fist in slightly ironic pride. Hey, an A+ was an A+, and Bay's report card had never exactly been overflowing with those.

Sure thing, she signed. But first, would you mind walking me to the dorms? I can't sign with you if I'm dead.

[so_hawkward]

Yes! Let's get you safe.

It was nice when something he thought would be a good idea turned out to actually be one.
