So, two things.

Thing one: I found Raidou, and it turns out his overlay can't talk. Anyone know a form of sign language we can pass on so the poor guy can at least make himself heard? [So to speak.]

Thing two: Who all's got some Grid-fu at their disposal? We might be able to use that to find out something about our creepy nightly serenade, but I don't have any tricks that'd be halpful by themselves.

[Lupa smiles in return, moving his hands in roughly equivalent, if much simplified signs as he speaks.]

Let's get started. Do you understand them?

[It's pretty clear, just from the way the signs are put together, that he's combining two different "dialects" as it were, but it works.]

[Drizzt sees it in drow, surprised for a moment before brightening instantly. He signs and speaks simultaneously back.]

I understand you perfectly. I see them as the sign I learned when I was young.

I see some of what you're saying in return as signs I recognize, but others I don't recognize the motions of, even if I understand the meanings. It seems that your signs are more complete; perhaps we can fill in the gaps with mine?

[Lupa continues signing, but it also quickly becomes obvious that he's struggling for work-arounds for some of the concepts, and slowed down because of it.]

[Drizzt does frown a bit in consideration as he watches the movements, noticing the difficulty. He nods in agreement at the end, then signs and speaks back.]

Mine is a complete language; a silent code in which to speak when one does not wish to be heard. I do not believe we have time to teach a full language, so perhaps your simpler language will be best.
