A brown brow rose, emerald eyes gazing over at the male with a soft chuckle escaping. Well, she certainly hadn’t been expecting that response, at least not with that tone but the way he said it had made one thing very clear to her. He was mute and perhaps that was one reason for his tone. Either he may not have realized the way he said it or he simply didn’t appreciate having to actually respond with words and those feelings had seeped into his voice.
No matter the reasons, she hadn’t meant to upset or irritate him, to the contrary, she had merely tried to break the ice of sorts for she had seen the book tucked securely in his hand. Her cold hands shifted, flowing in front of her as she signed her next words fluently and with the ease and expertise of a woman who had been using the language for years. “I’m sorry, it wasn’t my intention to upset you.” She paused for a moment, gemstone eyes watching him closely.
There weren’t many people these days who knew sign language, most assuming it an unnecessary waste of time and granted, Emi herself rather enjoyed the unspoken language, she rarely had a reason to use it. “May I ask what you are reading?” She nodded towards the book, chocolate curls shifting with her as a few strands fell over her shoulder.
