[derpiest]

[It's been a little while since he's said anything on the communicator. When he does, though, this time - it's short, it's simple, and it's to the damn point.]

I need to learn to fight.

Can anyone teach me?

[The video turns off soon afterwards - he's not really in the mood to discuss it more.]

It's going. I don't know where to start, but this seemed like a good place.

If I can't fight to save myself, how am I going to save them?

[takebow]

It's a start... But just a start. We need to figure out what they really want, though.

[derpiest]

I don't know yet. I think more things will be coming here, though.

I don't think the Gods bringing us here was something everyone in Asgard liked.

[takebow]

So that's what you're training for?

Well, it's not a bad idea.

She wouldn't have wanted me to spend all my time just sitting around, right?

video/text; filtered;

[takebow]

No. We're not doing that.

[He frowns, though, looking down for a moment...]

Do you have any idea on where to start beyond this, though?

video/text; filtered;

[takebow]

We have to find out what they want. Even if I knew what that was, though, we couldn't talk about it like this.

[derpiest]

I know they can understand this, but...

[He briefly signs some things at the camera, which is probably utterly incomprenhensible to her unless she decided to learn ASL from him.]

[takebow]

....

Umm...

video/text; filtered;

[derpiest]

Sign language.

[He frowns for a moment, as if remembering something.]

The gods don't understand it.

-- You're sure about that? You tried it? On all of them?

video/text; filtered;

[derpiest]

I haven't tried it on all of them, but they don't seem to get it.

[Or at least that's what he remembers.]

[takebow]

Then, you should teach me sometime.

[derpiest]

You can learn along with Chie. She's been learning for a while... it's what I normally use to talk at home.

video/text; filtered;

[takebow]

Okay, great... That'll definitely be useful.

video/text; filtered;

[derpiest]

I don't know what else to do, though.

[His face drops, after a bit. It's something he can't really say to anyone else - or at least not a lot of his other friends.]

I really miss them. Both of them.

video/text; filtered;

[takebow]

Of course. I know.

We'll be able to talk about what to do once you've taught me a little...
