Do you need help with it or something? I know we're not supposed to talk much about it, but - if you need a hand figuring out who might be good for whatever task they gave you, I don't mind.
Oh. I mean, I wasn't really talking to him at first? It's just a habit I picked up years ago. We were just kind of talking about how bad the situation was and trying to figure out what to do about it - not that we could do much.
Like I said, we were just talking about how bad the situation was turning out.
It could come in handy sometime, though. Since we can't text in trials, if we had another way to communicate that no one else could understand, maybe that could help us. We could talk out our theories or whatever without drawing suspicion or distracting the rest of the trial...

You've got a point, there. But it'll also attract suspicion from other people.
Depends on how obvious it is. Kon surprised me - that's what got your attention, right? But if we're expecting it, then it's easier to keep from reacting.
And if we're close we could just do the taps on our arms or something, so it isn't making noise.

No. Absolutely not.
[hiss!!! but she settles quickly afterwards]
Anyway, that's not what I wanted to talk to you about.
no subject
Suit yourself. But - what did you want to talk to me about?
[ he's pretty sure catra doesn't like him any more than the next rando who walks by so... ??? ]

You and Kon were tapping out something to each other near the end of the trial yesterday, right?
I wanted to know what you were talking about.

[tail flick. she sounds a bit disbelieving]
You two obviously understood what the other was saying. Were you working on your own tap-tap-tappy language, or whatever?

Why, did you want to learn it too?

[WHAT IS MORSE CODE]

Sure, I guess? What were you two even saying?

Well, I'm not against giving it a try. As long as you don't mind some very sharp taps, that is.

Oh, I believe it. You do seem like the type to make sure your victims know.
no subject
I don't think there's any reason to be shy about it.
