[here is Barbara, in her chair, near the library

in her hands, she turns round a bright red apple; there's a faint smile on her face as she stares at it, curious and impressed and fond]

Wonder where she got it.

[considering it] Sign language or pictograms?

[I shall patiently wait! and clear out my spam box so I don't lose it in there again.

She doesn't know ASL, or any of the others. She will draw pictures sometimes. Mostly, she communicates through...body language.

[/is writing! /slowly! It's always slower the second time, sob.]

[Satoshi's brows furrow in questioning. The phrasing is a bit off to him, but he considers that it might just be the translator or his understanding of English.] Gestures?

[I wait with eagerness also. ♥]

[nods] ...She greets people with a fist to the hand, for example.

((...Um.

Could you give me your email again? .-.))

[Curious, Satoshi mimics it to see what it would look like.] What about waving?

[Koschay at gmail!]

She might imitate it, but I don't think...she ever learned it.

((Thank you! <3))

What's the difference?

[after a moment, she sets the apple on her lap, and raises her hands; one she leaves flat, and one she curls into a fist, and gently touches one to the other

then she leans forward slightly, into a bow] The Shaolin Fist.

Martial arts training. [there's a frown] But no social training. Soldier from childhood?

I think so.

...She was alone, when she came here. I think...she ran away. Who knows how long ago.

[glancing off to the library] It's good she got out.

[quietly] Yes, it is.

Hopefully they don't come looking for her, but if they do... [and suddenly she's a picture of fierce determination]

((...Did it work?))

[Satoshi watches that expression and shows no emotion in response to it.] She'll appreciate that.

[... I hope you saved a copy of it. It did not. And I checked my spam box to be sure! Do you want to try sending it to, uh, callanistic [at] gmail [dot] com? Or maybe we should try it in a locked LJ post or... or I don't even know.]

[wry smile as she relaxes] Of course, that's assuming she'll need any help.

((/flail HMM. Maybe you should start it instead?))

Support helps as well.

[Did you get the email I sent?]

If it's accepted.

((Which did you send it too?))

Even if it isn't.

[Beigedoctor at aim dot com?]

You have experience with that?

((AIM decided not to inform me, but yes! \o/))

Not really. It's just a guess.

[Yay!]

[softly] Sometimes...they'll push you away, and no amount of pushing back makes a difference, until they're ready.

[a not-quite-smile] Teenagers, huh?

[a wry smile in return] Some of them. Some are just emotionally stunted.
