[characlysmic]

[Every since their unorthodox loss of hearing, Chara has been hanging around the only other adult who seems to know sign. Gaster was a monster, so they've given him the benefit of the doubt in general, despite his insistence on bathing. They've gotten better at reading lips, but their grasp on sign (and perhaps even reading??) have improved under his tutelage. This is absolutely the only reason they've continued hanging around him. Today they continue their studies by dragging a large and incredibly gaudy manga they dug up from the library over to the desk where Gaster was sitting. A small octopus plushie is gently set beside it a moment later.

They don't even stop to say hello, instead flipping to a dogeared page and pointing at a panel with a little half scowl. ]

I dunno this word.

[Its as good a greeting as any. ]
