Volgorl nodded with an apologetic smile crossing his lips, the captain taking the writing pad from her gently and inscribing the words: 
"My name is Volgorl. I am a Captain in the Royal guard and a guest of the Royal family. What is your name?" It was odd to communicate with someone like this, but Volgorl admired the fact that this young lady didn't want her disability to totally disavow her of any communication with others. Even if it was written, she could still "hear" ideas and concepts. Vol still had a number of thoughts swirling in his mind, two of them coming to the fore of his mind:

Who was this girl?
Why was she locked up in the castle like a prisoner?

She could be a prisoner of war, a young girl being held here from a rival kingdom. If that was the case, Vol would have to speak with the King and demand some sort of explanation for why a young woman, a deaf one at that, was locked away like a criminal.
