Urie waited patiently down by his cave for Claudine. He’d told her about the book he’d found ages ago and was dying to give it to her. It was weirdly comforting that there was at least one other person he could share this language with, even if other people learned sign language for him it was different. From the outside people wouldn’t assume that they were friends, or that they even knew each other considering the ways their parents hid them from the world.

He sat at the edge of the cave, swinging his legs out and glancing over the illustrations of the book, smirking as he copied a couple from memory. He heard footsteps and got ready to retreat back into the cave before calming down and realizing it was Claudine,”Hey! I’m glad to see you, how are you? ”

@asksansvoix

Sneaking out of the house was one of the easiest things Claudine had ever learn compared to all the other weird religious things her father demanded be drilled into her head. Today was more sign language lessons, Claudine assumed, since Urie was the only one of them with actual books to learn it from, but they always had to sneak off at odd times to do it. Ursula always had him working and Claudine was either at school or at her father’s church.

Claudine jogged up to the mouth of the cave, lifting up the ends of her skirt so as to not get wet. If she came home covered in mud, father would definitely know something was up, “I’m alright. Did we have to meet here? It’s so dark.” she fiddled with her matches and lit the candle she always kept in her pocket, setting it gently on a rock.

[asktheirrelevantbrother]

Urie apologized and got out his own candles and the one still-good flash light he’d saved from the dump. Using these the cave was illuminated instantly. It was not close to being an ideal place to learn or keep things but it was the best place he could find. With it being hidden and as close to either of them as it got down by the shore.

“I know it’s dark but-” He cut himself off to reach over and grab something,“A while ago I found another book for signing but it was only half a book, I just found the other half though! I figured you would want to see it, or take it, or something. Besides we haven’t talked in a while.”

I wish I could trust someone, anyone. But it seems like that will never happen. I can’t even trust my own crew.

[askshrimpy-blog]

Considering the fact that you’re more on the AK, is it?

[asktheirrelevantbrother]

I...I’m not one of them. Just because I’d like to live outside of a dump doesn’t change anything. At least it shouldn’t.

[askshrimpy-blog]

I wish I could trust someone, anyone. But it seems like that will never happen. I can’t even trust my own crew.

[askshrimpy-blog]

We didn’t ever really talk before.

[asktheirrelevantbrother]

Well it’s not that hard to change that, right?

[askshrimpy-blog]

I only trust Gil to an extent.

[asktheirrelevantbrother]

And me? What about your brother?

[askshrimpy-blog]

I wish I could trust someone, anyone. But it seems like that will never happen. I can’t even trust my own crew.

[askshrimpy-blog]

Like you or Gil?

[asktheirrelevantbrother]

Yeah, like Gil and I.

[askshrimpy-blog]

That’s what you really think? Well I don’t remember asking your opinion.

[asktheirrelevantbrother]

Hey, it was you who talked first Uma. But yes, that is what I think, I’m sorry if you don’t like that. You do still have people you can trust.

Urie lifted his hands up as a sign that he didn’t want to touch anything, but he didn’t want Rhedyn alerting anyone else in the house that he was here, he started signing at her,”I don’t want to be a bother, I was wondering if I could borrow another book or two for a couple of days again.”

He was probably bothering her, but part of him didn’t care. Rhedyn was nice to him…well in her own special way at least…and she let him borrow a book before. He was crossing his fingers she would let him borrow again, he was enjoying his time off dumpster diving for books for now.

Rhedyn only held her hands up to the bookshelf. He could very well take whichever ones he wanted, only need tell her so that she could keep a strict log of them all and make sure they were replaced quickly, “If you were concerned with being a bother, you shouldn’t have come here at all. You made take anything from this shelf, but write down the name and number if it’s part of a series. Return them by Sunday. Is that all?” According to Rhedyn’s studies, this was very similar to how a library in Auradon would function.

[asktheirrelevantbrother]

Urie nodded quickly and tapped out signs for both ‘sorry’ and ‘thank you’ so fast they probably blended together. He knew Rhedyn didn’t have to do this but was thankful for the help. He tried quickly going over the titles and contents of the books and finally picked one out. He wrote down the book title and number on the sheet and went to leave but turned around to sign at her again.

”Thank you again, would it be a bother if I borrowed a different book on Sunday or should I wait? Or...not come back?” He was hoping for one of the first two options, but he’d be respectful of the third if he needed to be. He could do without the constant nervousness he felt here.

[askshrimpy-blog]

He could have had other friends. I wasn’t so lucky remember. With everyone calling me shrimpy and crap. Distractions can change your loyalty.

[asktheirrelevantbrother]

I feel like I’m repeating myself, but Harry stuck by you. No offense Uma but you’re making a mountain out of a mole hill.

[askshrimpy-blog]

I wish I could trust someone, anyone. But it seems like that will never happen. I can’t even trust my own crew.

[askshrimpy-blog]

He did, he was my only friend at one point.

[asktheirrelevantbrother]

You could’ve had other friends, or chosen other people, but you two stuck together. You two are close, he’s just distracted by this and that doesn’t mean anything about his loyalty.

[askshrimpy-blog]

[askshrimpy-blog]

Am I really, Mal betrayed me over something as simple as her slipping.

[asktheirrelevantbrother]

Well...you have a point. But he’s not Mal, and he also stuck with you after your whole fiasco with her.

[asktheirrelevantbrother]

How do you feel about winning Best Behaved VK?

““What? I did that? How do they even know who I am? Considering the amount of times I’ve snuck out of my mom’s shop I would say I’m not very well behaved. Seriously, do they keep tabs on us?”

[askshrimpy-blog]

I wish I could trust someone, anyone. But it seems like that will never happen. I can’t even trust my own crew.

[askshrimpy-blog]

Harry has never been in love before so there’s that factor to think about. Why are you siding with him?

[asktheirrelevantbrother]

I’m not siding with him, I’m just saying that maybe you’re jumping to conclusions.

Urie’s arms fell to his sides when she took the books away, thankful for the relif of the weight, and he almost followed Rhedyn in but obediently stayed at the door when she signaled to him and was getting antsier every second, already making plans on which direction he’d run in should the Horned King just so happen to appear. Left? Right? Run in a random pattern so he was less likely to get hit with something? He couldn’t decide. While Urie waited he leaned in a bit to look at the inside, it was definitely better than the shack he lived in, and he’d admit that he was envious of the life Rhedyn had…even though he knew it had its pitfalls like the rest of them

Rhedyn returned quicker than she had left, still wide eyed and alert in the silence, “Don’t touch that,” She signed quickly, despite the fact that Urie wasn’t touching anything. He was looking as if he was searching for something in their vast foyer, she was only preempting an attempt to go snooping around, “What are you still doing here? It’s studying hour. What more do you want?”

Studying hour was about 6 hours out of Rhedyn’s day, actually, but not a moment of it was to be wasted, so her signing had a touch of urgency. She would not usher him out of the house unless he father appeared, though.

[askshrimpy-blog]

Harry. And Harry tends to talk a lot when he wants to if you haven’t noticed.

[asktheirrelevantbrother]

No...I’ve noticed. He’s not going to say anything though, Harry just isn’t like that.

Urie breathed in relief when he saw Rhedyn’s face, he was terrified of any of the villanous parents ever seeing him with a book. Or just out of his mom’s shop. Of course they weren’t all chummy with her but the even slight chance that the information might get back to his mom sent shivers down his spine. He wanted to read, not commit murder. Instead of answering her by signing, because his hands held the books, he just sort of thrust them out in her direction, hoping she’d recognize them as the ones that he’d borrowed from her. 

Urie hoped that holding them out conveyed the messaged of ‘I’d like to return these.’

Rhedyn sighed, reluctantly deciding to unlock the door further to take the books from him. Realizing these were ones father would surely notice missing if they were gone longer, she snatches the books away and hustles back to the library, holding up a finger to sign that Urie should stay, leaving Urie in the entrance to their home. Unlike the way Urie hated being in his mother’s presence, Rhedyn was at her father’s call almost every hour of the day and saw no issue with it. She’s get in more trouble for losing books herself than she would for leaving the front door open with Urie alone in their house with their valuables.

[askshrimpy-blog]

My trust has gone downhill ever since I had to hear about his relationship from a third party. If he’s dating someone I should know because he would tell said person everything.

[asktheirrelevantbrother]

To be fair, news either travels quickly around the Isle or not at all. Who exactly is this said trouble? I doubt he’d go around saying everything and anything to people.
