    Heh, I took ASL last year for school! I’m still not very good, but I can get by. (And yes it certainly would!! It’s really helpful when you’re eating and you don’t want to talk with your mouth full. XD) Unfortunate side-effect to learning ASL: you talk with your hands. A LOT. XD

    LOL! All I know how to sign is “I love you” “please” and “thank you” (or was it “you’re welcome”? Shoot I always mix them up signing XD) and a couple other words and phrases here and there. I really should learn the ASL alphabet that’ll be a good start (instead of trying to memorize that entire signing book, forgetting the first several chapters’ worth almost immediately and becoming so depressed/also busy I ended up dropping it. Along with Morris Code. And lip reading. I think I’m seeing pattern here XD) But I have nobody to sign with, although that shouldn’t stop me!

    Speaking of, funny story:

    Lol I’ve only ever taken one “formal” exam and that was the ACT, which I studied for only in the most liberal definition of the word and I was so freaked out by how depressed and anxious and just plan robotic my classmates were I felt like I had stepped into a prison camp and that threw me. Still passed tho but no one dare ever ever read that horrible excuse for a timed essay dehydrated, exhausted me chucked out at the end of the day XD. So it’s awesome you did it that early!

    So in Haven (the nation/world Brendin is from) every human generally has a soul, which is formed of several components; personality, memories, spark (the part that gives you life), etc.  When someone suffers mental or emotional trauma (like Alessio’s C-PTSD), this also translates as an injury to the soul; vice versa when someone suffers an injury to the soul, it can result in psychological trauma of some form.

    Oooh that sounds a lot like Alessio’s situation except…*major spoilers* nevermind XD. The idea with maere’s souls bound so tightly is really really interesting! Like @joelle-stone said I’d love to read your book!!
