Tia raised her brow. "That seems like a facinating job! Much more interesting than what I do."

**RENN**
Renn shrugged. "It's okay, I suppose. What's your job?' she asked, digging into her tofu curry.

"I just got a job at the local unversity," she said with a grin. "American sign language professor. I don't think it'll be all that bad but your job seems much more exciting."

**RENN**
"That's great," Renn said. She laughed. "Well, it's anything but boring, that's for sure. You wouldn't believe the people we get in here."

Tia frowned slightly. "Oh? What kind of people are they?" she asked with a hint of a laugh in her voice.

"Oh, All sorts! People from different time periods even." She laughed. "This is a very weird place."
"Your job sounds much less stressful. But, I'm afraid I don't know any sign language at all! "

Tia chuckled and signed her name one letter at a time. "T-I-A," she said as she signed. "My friends call me--" she signed her nickname: she made the sign for the letter T with each hand and "drew" wings on both sides of her. "The T is for Tia and the wings are because I used to collect little angel figurines," she said laughing. "It's a bit strange but I still do."

Renn tried to copy the Tia's nickname, unsure if she had it. "Wait, like this?"
She could tell how bad she was doing and laughed. "I have absolutely no had eye coordination!"

Tia brought a hand up and covered her mouth as she laughed. "That's actually very good!" she said encouragingly.
"Let's see. You're name is 'Renn' so..." Tia pursed her lip in though. Finally, she signed the letter "R". Her hands were crossed, the right above the left, little finger edges down. She then made a small clockwise circle in front of her chest. "If you sign it with a K it means 'care'. I'm signing it with an R because you're name is Renn."

**RENN**
Renn struggled to copy her movements.
"Like this?"
She was pretty sure she'd gotten it right. This wasn't that hard once you tried a few times!

Tia's face light up with a bright smile. "Yes!" She exclaimed. "You should come by the university sometime and be my assistant!"

**RENN**
Renn laughed.
"I don't know, I'm sure I'd make a complete fool of myself!"

"Don't be silly. You'd probably blow those college freshmen out of the water," she said reassuringly with a gentle smile.

"I'd like that," Renn said. "Thanks."
She finished her food and put the plate aside, stretching and grinning at the sun on her face.

Tia glanced languidly around until her eyes settled upon a tree in which a number of birds sat.
"What do they sound like?" she asked, observing the small creatures. She didn't think she'd understand but it was worth asking.
