Nikolai was rather confused at the strange display the other man showed, until his gesture of hunger. Thankfully, he understood. One of his top assistants back at his lab was mute and deaf, and so Nikolai had taught himself sign language within a week. It wasn't that hard, to be honest. Just need to practice.

Dusting himself off, as was his nervous tick, he walked back over to Akiba, patting him on the shoulder to turn around.

"Sorry about that," he signed, "I had not realized. What was your name?" After sigining to him, Nikolai asked the Sponsors barkeep for a glass of orange juice, two ice cubes, no pulp. It's what helped him concentrate.

''It appears so, Cowboy. Thine antics certainly seem of the courting manner.''

"Wow, um," Tanner said, getting his foot off the seat, "That was not what I meant at all." His thoughts were momentarily sidetracked once the other person in the car started talking to him.

Tanner's aura flared, glowing around him, and his eyes glowed for about a second, then stopped, coming back to normal. However, he now stood up straighter, keeping the hat off his head.

"Many greetings, my lady," the Knight said, "I speak unto thee as Knight Tanner, of the Arthen line. I trust you forgive mine other half, his thoughts coalesce not well into words. How be you?"
