Aerin watched Alejandro's face with his intense blue eyes, trying desperately to make out any of the words he was speaking. He could tell again that the man spoke a language that was not English, but from his actions he assumed he was giving the names of the other survivors. A look of serious thought came over his face and he drew in a deep breath, his tattooed chest rising and swelling with the deep intake of air before slowly deflating as he let it out. Looking around at everyone scattered about doing their own things he lifted his hands from his sides and brought them together several times in a series of loud claps until he was certain everyone was looking his way. Motioning them all to come together, he only wanted to have to explain this once to everyone, after years of having to do it so many times it had become an annoyance to him.<br/><br/>Waiting patiently for everyone to gather in closer he looked each of them pointedly in the face, meeting each of their gazes with his own. He almost started to 'speak' using sign language but realize that was probably as useless here as it was with many of the other speaking peoples of the world. Opting to use simplified gestures Aerin tapped his chest with the tips of his fingers, then pointed to his face and mimed speaking, opening and closing his mouth several times, the shook his head in the negative while pursing his lips tight. Again he tapped his chest, shook his head and pointed to his ears. Looking around he hoped they understood his meaning. Dropping his head back he let out a sigh and shook his head, his long blond hair dancing about his head. There was another way to tell them, and he was mentally kicking himself for not thinking about it sooner. Most cultures had some semblance of the see no, speak no, hear no evil gestures. This time he brought his hands to cover his mouth and made a few muffled sounds followed by covering both his ears and looking around tilting his head like he was trying to listen but couldn't hear.<br/><br/>Lowering his hands he gave them an apologetic smile and a shrug, once again giving each of them a pointed look to see if he could spot comprehension on their faces.
