Heron Lake Plateau another five more short graybles

There was an accusatory tone to her words, but he let it slide for now. She couldn't seriously expect him to remember something that he learned as a little kid, could she? It wasn't like he used it very often. The language itself had just begun to form and he'd gotten lost pretty quickly after that. Whatever.

Okay okay, he acquiesced with a small wave of his paw. She showed him a few signs and that's when things sort-of dawned on him: he remembered that sign, which made her indignation a little bit justified. Screech imitated what she'd done and signed -Towhee- back at her.

The two versions of his own name earned a squint. Which one should I use? He didn't identify as Titmouse anymore (no matter how hard that was for Towhee to accept, damn it), but so far he'd only encountered problem after problem when he'd assumed the identity of Screech. He realized a second too late that the question itself made it sound like he was trying to accomodate her disability — oops.
