#liliya thread.

             ---She’s so excited that her signing gets sloppy and likely difficult for her friend to understand--Liliya may have grown up signing, but not everyone knows various sign languages as well as she does. I finally got it right. That spell I’ve been getting wrong for the past month, and all it took was for me to stop trying so hard. She’s expressive--more so than a lot of people, though that’s something her mother says is just part of her charm. 

             ---”Wait,” she signs, hands moving slowly in her uncertainty. There are plenty of people milling around, but she’s able to block them out with a singular focus on the woman in front of her. A positive side effect of deafness, she considers. “You know how to sign?”
