It was a quick sign, but one that Zach easily picked up on. Oh– right. Xav had made mention of one of his kids being deaf. Or… apparently mostly deaf, if implants could help her.
‘Going out sounds so stuffy and formal-’ His signing was a bit rusty so Zach had no doubt he had made a few mistakes, but hopefully the general context would make itself known.
“Haha… yeah, I am, I guess?” A shrug as he reached back, nervously rubbing at the back of his neck. “I mean we’ve been going on dates so…”
Was he… was he really trying to explain and justify his relationship with Xav to one of his children?
Vibrant blue eyes went wide as she saw the signs the other used. She looked like he had made her entire day just by using sign language, even if he was rusty.

She softly squealed in excitement and delight.
“I’m glad! He’s been really happy lately!”
