Ambrose. I feel good, really good. How are you feeling?

Hi. That’s me. I feel good too. Like I’m dreaming. Or I could fly. Do you need me to keep hold of the control this morning, sweet boy? Keep you anchored.

Ambrose:

Have you eaten yet?

Jayson:

I haven’t, no.

Have you?

Ambrose:

Come here, then. The kitchen. We're going to fix that.

Jayson:

I...Okay. Yes. Yes, Sir

How has your day...Been?

Ambrose:

Good boy. Come sit, I'll look in the cabinets and we can pick something to cook.

It's been alright. I've been inside today. Here.

Jayson:

Are you okay?

Ambrose:

Me? Mhm. I just wanted to spend some time inside, to rest. To stay with you.

-------------------------------------- Jayson:

Ambrose?

Ambrose:

Yes, Jayce?

Jayson:

Can I...I don’t know.

How’s the kitten

Ambrose:

Ask me, sweet boy.

Come see. The baby is sleeping.

Jayson:

Precious. So cute, so sweet.

I just... Can I lay  with you?

Ambrose:

Mhm. Definitely. So cute. The second cutest, in fact. And second sweetest.

Good boy. Thank you for asking. Yes, please do. I'd like that. You can lay with me any time.

Jayson:

Second?

Sir... Okay. Cool. Great. Yes. Thank you.

Ambrose:

You're first.

That's me, sweet boy. You're okay. I'm here. You don't have to thank me. Is everything okay?

Jayson:

Me?

I...I need you. I do. I don’t know. I think so. I’ve been thinking a lot.

Ambrose:

You. Oh? I need you too, you know. I'm always here for you, I promise. Thinking about what?

Jayson:

I thought...That was you, Sir.

You do? I know. I...Trust you. I promise. Thinking about doing...Something.

Ambrose:

Jayce... I do. Good boy, thank you. I'll take care of your trust. Something? I've been thinking about a couple somethings too. With you.

Jayson:

Ambrose... Im...I’m right here, Sir. Thank you, I knew you would. You’re great like that. Y-yeah. What have you been thinking with...Me?

Ambrose:

Please tell me if this isn't okay...

Jayson:

Thats...Oh, God. That’s more than okay, please...Don’t stop doing that.

Ambrose:

Jayce... I don't think I /can/ stop... I... I've wanted to kiss you for... a long time.

Jayson:

You have? I...I’ve wanted to, too. For a long time. I...I like you Ambrose. I’ve never said that to anyone before. Not like I’m saying it to you.

Ambrose:

Jayce... I've never said it to anyone else before either, but I like you too. I have wanted to kiss you, to hold your hand, and I hope... you'll stay here, so I can hold you while we fall asleep.

Jayson:

Of course, I want to participate in the #daltonaslclub’s theme this week fully. As a refresher, the challenge I gave was to look at ASL covers of songs, make sure the person signing is Deaf, and then look into one of your favorites and bring us information on the person signing. The purpose was to spread awareness and educate. So without further ado,

This is Sarah Tubert signing This Is Me. She’s my favorite ASL artist on youtube, but she’s known for much more than her covers. She went to Gaudette and participated in water polo and volleyball, earning high marks in both sports and even went on to participate in the Deaf Olympics. 

Below the cut you will find two different interpretations of the song above, as signed by Sarah. The first is a literal, word for word interpretation of what Sarah is signing to show you that ASL grammar is not the same as spoken language and interpreting is never going to be relaying the exact words-- what I’m saying is, what is said in spoken word will not always translate literally into ASL. There aren’t words to translate spoken word to English sometimes. The end result of an interpretation isn’t always the same as the original work. This causes variations in interpretations, and no two people will translate the same song in the same way.

Jay: I didn't say that. I've just never gotten them...Before. Good. I want that too. So, that's good. You want a kitten? That's great. Good. We can do that. Good boy.

Jay: Hearts? Great. We can go. Let's go. Do you want anything specific? Or anything at all? I feel okay, I think. How are you feeling?

Jay: Did you want to check out that fair thing?

I appreciate you too, Ambrose. I feel like I do. We’re…I just mean we’ve been…And I should’ve thought about it. Your needs. That’s hard for me sometimes, because I ignore my own needs. But I want to be…Better. I hope so. Thank you, you are too. Good boy. It’s…I mean it’s nice, yeah. Weird but…Nice. How does it feel for you?

Thank you, Sir. I know you do. It’s okay. I don’t expect you to pay attention to that. You’re perfect, Sir. I want to be a good boy for you. Nice is good. Weird, not so much. I like it, it feels nice to me. Really nice. It feels nice when you call me Sir too, it means you trust me and you’re relying on me. Letting me care for you. To take care of you. I want to take care of you.

“my...Ambrose.”

You don’t need to thank me. I’m sorry you…I should’ve…Yeah. I’m okay. Just…Nervous. But that’s alright. You…You can call me ‘Sir’ right now. If you need to. 

I want to, though. I appreciate you. I’ll listen, though. You have nothing to apologize for. Nervous is okay. We’ll be okay. You’re doing so good. Yes, Sir. Thank you. How does that feel? When I call you Sir?

It’s okay, Ambrose. I’m…I’m here. I’ve got you. You’re…You’re a good boy. Very good. Are you…Feeling any better?

Yes, thank you. Thank you. This feels better. Are you okay? Are you comfortable?

Jay: It's not your fault. Don't be sorry. I just...I mean we can...Try. If you want to kneel.

Jay: Right. I'm sorry. I...Yeah.

Jay: I...Uh. It's...I mean if you...Want. I'm...Yeah. I mean if there's someone else you'd probably...Be better off going that...Route. I don't want to fuck it up worse.

Sebastian: /Ambrose/... okay, gentil garçon. Listen to me. I'll do the first photography club challenge, and I want you to meet me in my dorm, okay? I'll be your point of contact until the Dom you're interested in gets more comfortable. We don't need you withdrawing like this, it won't help anyone. We'll do some domestic tasks, we'll get some aftercare in, and then I'll take you down to see the pet fair. How's that sound?
