This is frustrating.

Damian’s phone is dead, his brain is tired, he wants to communicate with Diane but he really doesn’t want to speak and try to parse out lip reading with her. The problem is, that’s really the only option.

So Damian sits abruptly in front of Diane, though he doesn’t say or sign anything at first. When she looks at him curiously, though, he points at himself, then gestures forward, then brings his hand to his forehead. He slows down a moment as he brings the hand gesture out, then points at Diane. He finishes up with a twist of his fingers around each other.

In other words: “I’m going to teach you sign.” In a basic English word order.

He doesn’t say it aloud, though, just watches Diane to see how she’ll react.
