[center][h1][colour=DarkSlateGray]Tetsuya Nakano[/colour][/h1][/center] [center][@Liferusher][/center] For a moment - a rather short moment - the girl, Rikka, looked happy. Maybe she didn't know too many people, or any at all, that could converse with her the natural way to her. Sign language tended to be a pretty rare knowledge for people to know, at least in Tetsuya's experiences, so it wouldn't have surprised him. However, after he told her that he didn't remember, her face and possibly mood dropped. She didn't exactly seem upset, but she looked a little saddened from her original assumption. Apparently it was a-okay, but for some reason he felt as if he had let Rikka down, despite only knowing her for a short while. However, the she did something rather impressive - she helped him understand. It was as if she was playing charades with him, and he could about make out what she was trying to say. [b]"We playing charades now? So you had a nightmare? I wish I even had that much, but I don't even remember falling to sleep..."[/b] he said, looking around at all the people in the ever filling hall and then back to Rikka. From what he remembered, he could probably Have a decent conversation with the girl through signing, but everything was cut short with the lights shutting off. It was faint, but he could just about make out the image of Rikka through the darkness, which slightly surprised him. She had started to lean against the wall, and from what he could barely make out she wasn't in the happiest of moods. Then the supposed Student Council President, who seemed slightly eccentric, appeared from smoke and the returning of the lights. He didn't pay much attention, and instead focused on remembering more Sign Language. There were bits, but not much, at least not enough for extended conversations. There was probably a library somewhere that he could read up on it, or even some computers. In fact, Testuya became so engrossed in his remembrance of the language that he didn't notice that the lights had come back on, and he quickly snapped back to reality. It was time to try something. He tapped Rikka on the shoulder, and turned to face her. He held both his hands out flat, with the thumb pointed on a diagonal downwards to the floor. Then, he shook them from side to side a couple of times. He then pointed at her, before taking his left hand, clenching his fist and stretching his thumb out horizontally. He did the same with his right, but positioned it on his forehead. Then he brought his right and hand down without changing the sign and placed it atop his left hand. Next was when things got tricky for him... He put his left hand a little ways from his body, and pointed his thumb up a little, as if he were giving Rikka a thumbs up. Then he moved it downwards and curved it right as he did, in a sort of crescent shaped movement. Next he put his left hand out, flat and horizontal, and moved his right hand down and then up again three times, each time moving it slightly to the right when bringing it down to his other hand. Finally, he put his right hand out again and did the small thumbs up, before making a reversed crescent upwards and towards the left first, then towards the right and finishing.

[b]"Did I do that right?"[/b] he asked, standing still whilst looking around to make sure no one was staring.
