Her Smile Grows As Bubba Becomes Excited Over The Prospect Of Being Taught. Had The Others Not Tried?

her smile grows as bubba becomes excited over the prospect of being taught. had the others not tried? it didn't seem like they didn't care for each other. maybe they just weren't aware this was an option. maybe it's a good thing she thought about it.

" okay, " she crosses her legs, balancing the book in her lap, " hold out y-your hand like this, " agatha holds her right hand up, her palm facing away from herself, " a-and bring your fingers down like this a-and h-hold your thumb against your pointer finger, j-just like this. " she follows the image in the book, doing as she instructs bubba to. " th-this i-is the sign for the letter 'a'. " agatha shows him her hand and the way her fingers are arranged. she looks up at him. " n-now you try, bubba. "

there were a handful of killers who didn't seem to speak, though whether it was because they couldn't or wouldn't was beyond the faerie. there was one that seemed to want to be able to communicate, though, and it was bubba. a few of the killers have been kind to her, bubba especially, and so she wanted to repay that kindness. she had certainly made attempts to speak with him, but only sounds came out of him, almost pig-like. if he couldn't communicate that way... agatha would find another way. she managed to get her hands onto some books and tapes about sign language, so maybe if she teaches him as she teaches herself, the two could communicate, right?

agatha brings him to the unused cabin in the woods, sprawling the books out over the old, slightly wobbly coffee table. she looks to bubba with a smile. " th-these are about sign language, bubba. i-it's a-another way people can c-communicate, a-and i— i-i think i can teach it to you. w-we can learn together! " her smile grows and she moves to sit beside him, picking up a book that was a guide for beginners. " let's see... " agatha hums softly, reading the introduction aloud to him before they get to the first chapter, learning to sign the alphabet. " okay, here we go, w-we're starting here, o-okay, bubba? "

His attention was on the books the faerie set down now. Head canting before looking to her. Sign language? What was that? People can communicate like that??

He was starting to fidget in the chair with excitement once it became clear that she was wanting to help him find a way to communicate with her and maybe even others that might know this sign language as well. With some squeals and fast nods to her, Bubba pressed his hands into his thighs as he waits more now for her to continue.

" i-i don't think i'd want a d-diamond r-ring... i mean, y-you see them everywhere, y-you know? a-and n-not that they're not b-beautiful! i-i think they're very beautiful, but i-i guess... i'd just like something a little more u-unique someday, y-you know? something... " agatha trails away, humming a sigh. " s-something green, l-like an emerald! it's pretty a-and sturdy. i-it'd s-s-stand out a little more than d-diamond a-and it's unique! "
