He couldn't hear her over the rocket either way, but he glances around to make sure he's not going to set anything on fire and-- It's a Rose!

He captchalogues the jetpack without even thinking about it, because like he was gonna just PCHOOOOOOOO off without seeing her! He bounces a little and then hugs her tightly-- and realises mid-hug that oh yeah, none of them know he's deaf. This could be awkward. Or maybe he'll get lucky and she'll just roll with it! He's just gotta treat this like he does any interaction with a hearing person who doesn't know ASL. Casual and comfortable are the watchwords of the day.

He steps back abruptly and waves shyly to her, decaptchaloguing the little notebook-and-pen that he keeps on hand for... well, things like this. It takes all of two seconds to scribble out his message, and then he holds it out for her to see.

hi, rose!
