Just as she was finishing the arm movement over her chest in apology, Rendyl looked over at the crystalline doctor as she spoke. Food sounded AWESOME....and once again huffed quietly at being called half human. She didn't have fuzzy ears, a tail or anything else that would show she wasn't anything other than human. Some scientists they are. Yet once Tony started talking, she took an instant liking to him. He was relaxed, friendly, and was actually talking to her like a person!
She nodded furiously at the mention of signing, and what followed from Tony's questions was a flurry of arm, hand, and finger gestures. To everyone else, it was seemingly gibberish in motion. But to Tony, she was speaking clearly with a tone and cadence of her own. Rendyl signed for several seconds before she settled her hands on her lap, indicating she had finished for the moment, smiling almost shyly at her outburst.
She glanced over at the Captain and crystal lady, giving a tiny wave and another sheepish smile.
