( she doesn't say anything when tears form in his eyes, instead holding him a bit closer and petting his hair until he's ready.

and then- oh- he's trying to mimic... nene repeats the words, slower this time, before pointing to each written word for correspondence. there's a warmth in her chest that he even tried, really. )

i hope you like them

[silentabyss]

I do. Thanks.

[He's so useless at this gift thing, honestly. And maybe it says a lot about him and his upbringing, if gifts make him cry. Regardless, Noah puts the gifts aside and takes the hot chocolate off the tray, holding it in both of his hands and warming them on the ceramic.]

...show me how to do some of the sign language. S-so you don't have to keep typing in the future... [And also so that they don't have to focus on him too long woo boy Noah doesn't do great with that.]

[mermaidcursed]

( !!! nene smiles widely, almost bouncing before nodding. but first-- )

amami-san is teaching me!

( and... hm. oh! oh oh oh!! the first sign that he taught her- it'd be perfect! just as amami did weeks ago for her, she holds one arm out flat in front of her, and makes a chopping motion on her wrist, leaving the side of her hand where it lands before translating it for him: )

'thank you'.

[silentabyss]

[Oh, okay, that looks easy enough. Noah finds a place to set down his mug real quick before mimicking her. It's an easy sign, so he does, you know, pretty well?]

That seems easy enough.

[Committed to memory. He's never gonna forget now.]

[mermaidcursed]

( she nods, smiling gently. what else... oh, you're welcome to go hand in hand with that, that would do. so she carefully signs that out once, twice, and then a third time slower- it's a subtler gesture, one i'm still not sure how to properly write out. she translats that, too. )

[silentabyss]

[It's okay sign language Difficult to put into words. Noah mimics still, repeating that one a couple times so that it sticks. This seems like a pretty good life skill, actually, and then he wonders why he didn't pick this up sooner only to think that sign language on Elrios is probably much different.

That wouldn't help, he supposes.]

Can we, um... sorry. Can we practice this together whenever you learn something new? That way I can... uh... I can help.

[mermaidcursed]

( oh!!! nene nods rapidly- oop a lil dizzy now it's fine she's fine- and beams! yes! absolutely! even if she's mute forever, they'll have this! she'll bring him with to amami's lessons if both want, even! she's very excited. )

[silentabyss]

[Oh god that smile. Oh god his entire heart.]

It would help, right? I... want to be better for you.

[Just... kind of a general statement, though in the moment he means it more as wanting to be better at communicating with her so that she doesn't have to take time to type everything she says.]

[mermaidcursed]

( ah.... nene blushes a little, glancing down for a moment before... ... he's made it clear. and so have others... shyly, nene tugs noah over by the arm and leans in, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek. ... she immediately turns bright red, of course, but she's trying. immediately, she gets out of his space and tries to recompose herself, and fails miserably! )

as
thanks
and stuff
not just thanks but

( ... she's going to hide in her hands now. )
