Redhawk Caldera I'll interrogate the cat.

Kind of assumed she was signing quickly -- if that's not what you intended, let me know and I'll edit! :)

Elwood carefully "listened" as Towhee asked another question, this one just as valid as the previous one. But before he had a chance to answer, she continued signing busily; and Elwood would be lying if he said he understood what she was trying to convey. Her agitation translated into a flurry of rapid gestures, and he held up a forepaw, shaking his head.

"Hang on -- hang on," he said, though not unkindly. He gave her a sheepish smile. "Can you slow down? I'm still not as fluent as Aunt Fin, and I want to understand you," he said earnestly, coupling his request with the sign for "please."
