[ A sector nine apartment. The wallpaper is peeling in a few places, but the surfaces are free from clutter except for a kettle set to one side, spouting steam. Claire ducks into view, checking the shot is lining up. ]

It’s running. Oh, I mean, action! [ He seems to be running on an even higher octane fuel than usual. It’s not hard to discern why

I know American Sign Language. We learned it in school, it's pretty cool, and really helpful.

[ He whistles happily and leans in to the NV, giving the impression that if this had been in-person he'd be grabbing your hand right now. ] No kidding! What's your name, fella?

[ Chane seems to lighten up at this piece of news, sitting closer after Claire's reply, although her expression is delicately balanced between wanting to know more and simple surprise- she didn't know they taught it at school. She could have learned. ]

[Smiles.] I'm Tim. Tim Drake.

[He's good at reading people; not as good as Cass, but close enough. He smiles at Chane as well.] The basics are really easy, and people tend to make it their own after they've learned.

Tim! I'm known as Claire Stanfield and the beautiful lady is Chane. [ pause ] Laforet.

Nice to meet you. Claire, Chane.

[ "Make it your own". The thought is... warming. That it is flexible enough, perhaps moreso than writing words, and would become hers in her hands.

Settling her hands in her lap with some slight anticipation, she nods in greeting, looking to Claire and back to Tim. It's a little too fast, his offer to pay for her, Tim's response-- although the considers the latter for a moment, then re-opens her book NV. Taking note of the channel number she writes him a message, hoping he will make the correlation between her NV on-screen and the text. ]

[ Shooting an amused smile at Chane. ] Food might be an idea if Maya's coming -- oh, that's right! We've got another friend who might want in on this.

[He reads the message, nodding in his understanding of it.]

So it would actually be the three of you? I could do that. I think any bigger and it might be tough, but three should be easy to manage.
