Blue grins at the enthusiastic yes and Regan's brightened expression. She's not as good at understanding other people as she is at signing herself, so her brow furrows just a little as she follows, translating to herself.
There are a few words she doesn't catch, but as the first sentence winds down, she's already smiling, glad she can help. She can tell Regan's signing more slowly than she has to, and it makes her think maybe she should take some lessons.
"My friend's sister was deaf, so I learned," she signs by way of explanation. Then, with a little coy grin she adds, "And my cat is deaf, too, but she doesn't know ASL."
(Cat is one of her favorite signs, like whiskers.)
"I'm Blue," she signs, using finger-spelling, then signs the color too, just to make it clear that yes, it is a weird name and yes, Regan's reading it right. "This is Copper."
"I see you at the cat cafe sometimes. You should come in!"
