[Fortunately Megaman does drop the half-hearted signing at this point, though it isn't so much for clarity as it is for the fact that. Well. Apparently he doesn't actually need it...?

Zhas does seem a bit surprised too now, at least. But then, what's that supposed to mean? The additional words don't really help, and there's probably a moment in which they both stare at each other in mutual surprised confusion before Megaman finally draws back a pace. Still at a loss, to be sure, but--well--]

So. You're not deaf...? [Oh wow that sounds. Really bad out loud uH--] I mean, not that I--I'm sorry! I just, assumed, since you were signing before...?

[But then, why hadn't Zhas said anything about it then? He's not sure. Megaman tilts his head a bit, confusion increasing just enough that he even forgets about Zhas' bleeding woes for a solid second or so.]

Ah, but you could have told me sooner...it would have been alright! I'm not very good at signing things to start...
