I was unable to speak once.

Do you want to learn sign language?

Re: text

[instilled]

It is good that you were given a voice.
Sign language may be most simple.
Do you know of any resources available?

[passio]

Not here. Someone taught me, but I can’t remember who.

I can try to teach you the basics. I know how hard it is when you can’t make yourself understood.

[instilled]

This would be possible.
You can be repaid with whatever level of chroma gain you wish.

[passio]

I don’t need chroma.

It’s frustrating, I know, so I want to help. That’s all.

[instilled]

That is incredibly kind of you.
The offer will remain if you choose to take it up.
When would be best for you to teach?

[passio]

I’m OK any time, but I think it would be hard during the Iris moon. Any time before or after it would be best.

My name is Dextera, by the way.

[instilled]

Very well.
It is a pleasure to meet you Dextera.

[ There's a slight hesitation before the next response comes, as the Hollow Knight weighs the pros and cons of referring to itself with a pronoun. ]

I am the Hollow Knight.

[passio]

[ dextera doesn’t think much of the hesitation, but his reaction to the name, the stilted mode of communication, is strangely fond. the hollow knight itself may not be familiar, but this uncertainty very much is. ]

We can meet soon, if you want that.

[instilled]

Yes, a meeting soon would be best.
May this teaching be passed to the Knight, also?
It would be unfair not to offer, as they are a person, and this vessel is not.

[passio]

[ these naming conventions… yes, dextera thinks the two of them might be similar. ]

I’m not worried about who’s a person and who isn’t. If the Knight wants to learn, too, I’m happy to teach.

[instilled]

Thank you.
When you have time to teach, please contact this user.
Time will be made.
And offer of repayment be extended whenever you wish it.
