Eligos tries to use his wings to defend himself, but once he realizes Nate isn't going to hurt him he tilts his head curiously, experimentally moving his hands.

He looked at batibat 'does he know sign language?' he asked

'no we use the dirt maybe you can teach him' she smiled at him

'sure!' his eyes lit up with excitement writing in the dirt, 'wanna learn sign language?' he asked him 'you talk with your hands when your either deaf or cant talk but i don't talk much so i use sign language not many people know it' he explained

Batibat was still examining his head before laying it to rest in her legs watching them have a conversation

Eligos nods, looking only slightly afraid.

He started to right signs in the dirt and then writing what they ment under neath them before showing an example with his hands

Batibat braided his hair listening

Eligos, looking deep in thought, attempts the sign for 'hello'.

Nate noded in agreement saying hello back

The flames around Eligos brighten and he nods enthusiastically.

Batibat moves out the way of a flame cooling her wing off and blowing on it

He started saying by and his name

Eligos replies, clumsily spelling out his name: E-l-i-g-o-s

'nice to meet you im nate' she signed slowly so he would get it
