Yup! I learned it after French, because I was going to communicate with a deaf representative down the line about a business deal.

[ Which... he doesn't think will be happening any time soon now that he's in this state. Alas. ]

It's good to rack up a lot of skills.

[insinning]

You pick up everything so quickly...

[ There's admiration there. But also]

..so you and your dad did understand what Ishmael said to me.

[dissimulative]

You can assume that my dad knows most common languages. What's wrong with just asking if he's my dad? I mean, it's pretty obvious now, isn't it?

[ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ]

[insinning]

[yes but]

At a business meeting?

[ He was about to be teased in front of everyone...]

[dissimulative]

It's not like she demanded attention from the rest of us while you were basically fighting for your life.

[ He means shame. ]

[insinning]

I-I guess not, but...

[Imagine discussing his love life while fighting abnormalities...]

[dissimulative]

[ Yeah, just a usual Monday. No big deal. ]

But?

[insinning]

Isn't it weird to discuss people in front of them like they're not there?

[also, they would have teased him worse but yanno]

[dissimulative]

It's only weird if you make it weird.

[ Oria would absolutely brazenly discuss someone while said person is right there. ]

[insinning]

No, it's definitely weird no matter what.

[Oria, please]

[dissimulative]

[ Oria laughs his good natured(?) laugh. ]

But their reactions are pretty good.

[insinning]

Hmm, it seems like it'd cause a lot of trouble.

[Too bad Oria hadn't signed back at the team]

[dissimulative]

I'd say that trouble tends to find me.

[ He says oh so very smugly. ]

But don't worry. I'm always fine.

[insinning]

[ Sinclair is pretty certain it's the other way around]

Mm. You are.

[ And that's the relief]

[dissimulative]

[ Yes. Oria Severine will always be fine. Always and forever. ]

Hm, maybe you should get some more rest. I bet you're still doozy after all that happened and more. Your current situation doesn't sound so good if you're forced to stay here longer.

[insinning]

Mm. A few more days and then...

[ Sinclair cuts himself off with a yawn. Oh. He is tired. But more importantly.]

I did finish the designs for the earrings though.

[ He'll text through the pictures. It's a stud earring in the shape of a constellation with a matching smaller stud of a single star or moon. One of the gems on the constellation has been coloured a gentle green on one pair, and then electric blue on the other. He thought it'd be more suitable that way for both of them. ]

[dissimulative]

[ Oria looks at the finished design and wastes no time in responding to it. ]

This looks so nice...

[ He sounds a bit in awe. The blue, he can understand. But green? Green was his favorite color, but it didn't feel like that would be the right answer after seeing the blue one already. ]

... Is this your way of telling me that you secretly have green eyes?

[insinning]

Huh? No-- [ Sinclair laughs as he tries to imagine it.] Well, I wasn't sure if I should have switched it to a yellow...but for some reason, I thought green fit better. But blue is my favourite colour too so...

[Blue and green, really.]

[dissimulative]

... Ah.

[ A small sound is followed by a gentle, quiet laugh. The fact these earrings represent themselves, and of each other's favorite colors is such a mundane thing, but to Oria, he feels a significant warmth in his heart.

He shakily breathes out, but with satisfaction. ]

I love you so much.

[insinning]

[ Sinclair's voice is warm and soft. If Oria could see him, he could see how red Sinclair has turned again]

I love you too. I'm going to miss you like crazy when I have to go back to Seattle.

[ Why was it more difficult this time? Or maybe it was always difficult and having that day with Oria was a reminder ]

[dissimulative]

If only we could meet one more time... that would be nice, huh?

[ He knows that isn't possible though, with how they're both still in recovery mode. ]

But I'll go up there to visit you when I can. Whenever our schedules align. When I do, I'll bring the finished products with me.

[insinning]

[ Why are both of their injuries getting in their way. Sinclair sighs, wistful]

I hope we can see each other sooner rather than later.

[ There must be a way to carve out time together]

[dissimulative]

I'll definitely aim for something more than once a month. Besides, I want to give you the earrings in person.

[ Is it a little like a proposal? Maybe. Oria doesn't want to regret anything with how the reveal of several days ago really made their mortality rate seem even higher.

And he never wants to feel like he'd lose Sinclair again, whether it be in a dream or anywhere else. ]

[insinning]

[ Ah. It's a small thing, but ]

I'm looking forward to it.

[Soft and warm. It's something to help him keep going]
