[Now that everything has calmed down, Seto can ask a question that's been rattling around in his brain. So there's a new message on the Rock of Communication in messy handwriting.]

Hi. I hope this is okay to write on.

Is there a way to talk to someone who can't talk? I don't think something like that is in my world, so I don't know if there's something like that.

[Well there was a way to talk to someone without words in Seto's world but he's not touching that with a ten-foot pole.]

I'd like to learn if there is a way so I can talk to them more. I'll be here too sometimes if you want to talk in person. I have a blue jacket on.

- Seto

[And indeed Seto can be found by the rock, if anyone would rather speak in person.]

[Wade.

Honey.

You're taking to a kid who was born after the apocalypse. He has zero idea what that is. Not that it stops Seto from trying to see if his hands talk, but no dice.]

I don't think my world has it. Or my hands aren't the right kind. But I'd still like to learn.

[It's a shame that Wade isn't able to see that hand inspection, because he'd probably think Seto was adorable. Stupid, but adorable. Like a dumb puppy.

Regardless, it's that statement of "my hands aren't the right kind" that endears Wade enough to write:]

i could probably help u out there if u want

wanna set up a place 2 meet or smth?

[buryyourfriends]

[Taking things at face value is totally valid Wade. But yeah, that's a pretty good way of describing Seto.]

Sure! I can meet you by the temple?

- Seto

[He'll remember to ask for Wade's name...eventually.]
