Northstar Vale (PTERO 101) Like boom.

It was Arsenio who came up with the next question. Towhee nodded, performing her name sign a few times alongside him until he’d more or less perfected the movements. The followup question made her lips twitch into a grin.

-“That can be your homework assignment,”- she replied. -“You can come up with your own name sign, something that feels like it suits you. It can be a completely random motion or based on words—I’m always happy to provide a translation for any word you need—or even entire phrases you feel represent you. The alternative is spelling it out every time, which works in a pinch. But it’s sort of tedious.”-

It was officially dark now. Towhee could pick up signing even in low lighting conditions but she knew the others would have trouble. Besides, everyone’s wrists were getting tired, her own included. She didn’t mind if they hung about a bit longer, though she decided to rest her feet on the loam and resort to verbal articulation.

Next week, we can start by introducing ourselves with our name signs, she said, eyes bouncing from Arsenio to Tamar, then to Antigone. Sound like a plan?

I think this’ll be my last. Thanks so much for participating and please feel free to include references to future classes anytime. :)
