Show Me A Sign (c)

Sageroot was deep in thought as she sat near the medicine den, drawing in the dirt with a claw. She drew out all the different ways one could move a paw, ear, or tail and sighed in frustration. How could she make this work?

Hopepaw couldn't find her friends. They must be out. The apprentice huffed in annoyance, batting an old moss ball around the camp out of boredom. Maybe it was pure luck that she accidentally knocked it close to She Who Plays. Oh! She hadn't seen her! Hopepaw bounded over; tail held high in the sky. Perhaps they could play today! Unknowingly, she stepped through the other cat's drawings on the dust floor and touched noses with her friend. Let's play!

Sageroot startled when someone stepped on her drawings. “Oh, Hopepaw! Hi,” she purred, knowing the other cat couldn’t hear but would understand that she wasn’t upset. Hmm… maybe this was a chance to test something. She ran over to the prey pile and grabbed a mouse. The deputy stared at it for a moment, aware she probably looked silly, before taking a paw and brushing it twice over her nose like a mouse grooming itself. Mouse. Sageroot pointed to the prey with her paw and made the motion again.

OOC: I actually know some ASL so there will be similarities!
