He probably should have been paying attention to what Reman and Jin were talking about. It was no doubt very important. However... the woman in front of him had just literally spoken his language. His eyes lit up instantly.

Now this wasn't an entirely novel experience for him. A fair number of people knew bits of sign language in the lower city for one reason or another. However, the few who had ever been willing to speak to him would quickly grow exasperated, unable to keep up with the speed and fluency of someone who literally relied on it as part of their normal life. 

That said, he could already tell she was at least a step above the average individual he'd "spoken with" in the past.

[color=ED205E][i]You know sign too?[/i][/color] His excitement was palpable. [color=ED205E][i]How much do you know? What made you learn?[/i][/color] There was a slight "stutter" to his signing as he kept getting carried away and then forcing himself to slow down. He didn't want to scare away his new friend.

OK maybe it was a bit early to call them a friend, but where else was he going to find someone he could properly talk to out here?

Of course, if he was gonna ask her questions, it was only fair to give his own answer first, [color=ED205E][i]I didn't have a choice.[/i][/color] He told her, tugging at his shirt collar to show the scars on his neck. He'd already verbally shut down before [i]that[/i] incident, but it had certainly cemented things, and showing the scars on his neck was more straightforward. So no, he wasn't a big talker. He wasn't a talker at all in the traditional sense.
