Another day, another installment of random thoughts from me. Also on communication, so I guess that's a theme?

Who here knows sign languages? [He's thinking of a certain fellow Jedi padawan who clearly understands a lot of what is being said, but doesn't talk out loud. And also wondering if sign language gets 'translated' like verbal and written language mostly do.]

I know...a few signs. Mostly as communication in battle. I'm actually not entirely sure what system they come from, or even if they are all from the same system.

Uhuh. I ran into them really briefly and...was not smart about it. They kinda blew up my ship. Thankfully, I don't think anyone was really hurt.

Um. Do they call themselves Tuskens, or something else?

[foundlingfather]

That...tends to be most people's experience. Yes. I know those people pretty well, and I know some tribes are more welcome to outsiders than others.

No. Tusken is a name given to them by other people of Tatooine. After an attack that was carried out. They have a name they call themselves. But...unfortunately it can't be translated to basic.

[ezra_of_lothal]

Gotcha. Hmm. Well, I don't think I'm going back to Tatooine anytime soon...

[On the other hand, if he gets dropped back to his native time, in theory both Master Kenobi and Luke Skywalker would be there. If he can get there quickly enough.]

Have you tried to teach Grogu any of that sign system?

[foundlingfather]

[Helmet tilt.]

Because of the Tuskens? [Although, he's well aware, that a lot of people prefer to not visit the sandball of a planet, unless they had to.

The question gives him a pause.]

I have a little. [He admits. Sorry Obi-wan.] It's not easy, since he only has three fingers.

[ezra_of_lothal]

Well. No. They weren't even the worst part of that trip.

...nevermind. [It doesn't matter that Luke and Obi-wan are here, too. He's still not going to talk more about that trip over the network.]

I was just pondering if I had a good reason to learn some of the signs. If Grogu knows some, then I definitely do.

Would you mind teaching me a little? Please?

[foundlingfather]

...fair enough. [Luckily for Ezra, Din's not big on prying. Specially over an open network, where everyone can hear. He won't push it for the moment.]

He knows some basics, yeah. [He nods, helmet tilting. It's a work in progress with the kid. Between the only three fingers, but he seemed to be catch on, since he's smarter than his age would say he is. Then it tilts back in a motion of surprise. He'd honestly assumed no one was interested. Not like anyone ever asked.]

Sure. I didn't think anyone else would be interested in learning.
