Ziotea had to admit that Jin, the guy in the piperunner outfit, might be right about not getting too close to containers.  If humans could act like that, there was no telling how the local wildlife might be affected as well.  Still, she'd gotten six synergy batteries out of it, so no harm done...this time.

The young earthbender wrote down his name instead of saying it.  Weiyuan.  Did he not speak?  Ziotea didn't recall him talking last time either, just giving her a thumbs up.  She passed the other two water bottles to Jin.  [color=coral]"Here, take one and give the other to...whomever."[/color]  But even as she did her attention was still on Weiyuan.  [color=coral]"Not a big talker, are you?  I'm Ziotea,"[/color] she said.  Then, going out on a limb, she did the name sign and fingerspelled her name.  [color=coral][i]My name is Ziotea.[/i][/color]  Pretty much any child living on the street in the Lower Ring picked up some degree of street sign language.  If you wanted to coordinate across distance without yelling, it was invaluable.  She'd picked up enough to be fluent.  She and Ryo used it a lot with each other -- the memory made her heart tighten painfully.  When they didn't want to be heard, when they were somewhere quiet, when Ryo just didn't feel like talking.  A sad smile crossed her face.  Her hands flashed through a few more signs: [color=coral][i]Or you can call me[/i][/color] and ended with the sign for red into the zigzagged finger of a spelled Z.
