WHO: Sam, Taas, and Cyril
WHAT: Cyril mentioned that he was learning sign from Taas, Sam wants to learn too!
WHEN: Sometime after the illness but before Cy runs off to help Twisted Fate with his clan.
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: Copious of amounts of UST.

Since the soiree, Sam had been interested in learning the sign language that Taas used. Cyril had promised to set up a lesson with Taas, but then the illness had taken place and distracted everyone. Now, though, there was time for everyone to relax and Cyril wanted to do the lesson before he left with Twisted Fate.

He found Sam and took him to meet with Taas. When they got to the qunari Cyril waved then signed 'hello' before gesturing to Sam.

"My friend wants to learn too. Do you mind having one more?" It would delay the inevitable sex that usually happened at the end of their meetings, but Cyril liked Sam enough to make that sacrifice.

"Hm." Sam once again follows along spelling out his name, having an easier time signing the letters now, but not doing it quite as quick or smoothly as Taas or even Cyril. Still he's learning. "That is nicer. Guess it's good that it's only three letters."

Following along with the other signs is simple enough, especially the ones for qunari, Tal-Vashoth, and elf. Dalish is a bit more complicated and takes a few tries before he gets the movements down. He's pretty certain there were a few he was going to need to be reminded of. "And what about Vashoth?" That seemed like it would be something he would need to know.

Cyril chuckles a bit. "That's what I asked when I was first starting to learn," he admitted. "I wanted to know what I should sign if I was talking about Korrin."

Clearly, he had priorities.

He grins even wider at that, and then keeps his fingers even, making a shorter horn motion with v-shaped fingers this time. "Vashoth." All related and originating from Qunari.

"Any other word that strikes your fancy, or should we move on to a few important sentences?"

It was a very important thing to know, also respectful to refer to them properly. Sam repeats the motion Taas does, humming lightly in thought. It made sense, but it was different enough from the others. Course he would have to be mindful of the length he made the 'V'.

"Maybe 'spirit'? After that I'm good with going onto the sentences."

Cyril settles back as he watched Sam repeat the words that Taas teaches him. Once again he feels like odd sort of happiness in his chest, similar to how he had felt watching Taas and Zevran interact. It's different here, without the sexual taste to it, but it's still warm and pleasant. He realizes he wants to see Sam and Taas become good friends at least.

He lets Taas take over for now, wanting to see how he handles the class. Also, he's just pleased to be watching them. He does practice the signs himself though, not wanting to get rusty.
