Tubbo wakes up a little before Ranboo did.
Tubbo yawns and sits up, and Ranboo looks up at him.

Tubbo smiles.
“Oh, did I wake you?”
He leans in and kisses Ranboo's forehead.

Ranboo smiles, then mouths “I love you.”
Ranboo clears his throat, confused.

Tubbo gets up and gets the rest of Ranboo's suit out for him.

Ranboo stands up and looks at Tubbo, and Ranboo looks slightly frightened.

“Hm? What's wrong?”
Tubbo turns and looks behind himself to see if anyone is there, but no one is.

Ranboo grabs Tubbo's shoulder to twist Tubbo back to face Himself.

Tubbo turns, facing Ranboo.
Ranboo mouths “I can't speak.”
Ranboo's ears aim downwards.

Tubbo tilts his head in confusion.
“What? You... can't speak...?”
He sounds baffled.

Ranboo moves his hand to hold his throat.
Ranboo mouths “It hurts.”

Tubbo looks at Ranboo for a second, and sees that he looks sadder than ever. Tubbo hugs Ranboo and hold him tight.
“It's Okay, I know sign language.”

They hug for a little.

Ranboo mouths “Sign Language? Why?”

Tubbo answers.
“My grandma was deaf, so my whole family knew it. I can show you and our friends so you can talk to them.,”

Ranboo looks at Tubbo's face, and then Leans onto Tubbo's shoulder.
Ranboo cries a little, then looks back at Tubbo's face.
Ranboo mouths “You're amazing.”
He also has a very big smile on his face, yet his ears still aim down.

Tubbo had made breakfast for everyone, which was Michael, Ranboo, and himself. They had all eaten by now.

Tubbo sits down with Ranboo and Michael, and looks at Michael.
“So, Son, I've got to tell you something.”
Tubbo says in a slightly somber tone.

Michael fixes his gaze on Tubbo.
“What? Is it somfin bad?”

Tubbo tries to downplay it, and closes his eyes.
“No, No, not Bad necessarily. It'll just take some... Adjustments!”
Tubbo opens his eyes as he says ‘Adjustments’.

Michael blinks and keeps looking at Tubbo.
“Wat is it ten?”

Tubbo explains everything.
“Well, Ranboo here was injured by Dream, and now he's, well, Mute.”

Michael is confused. He looks away from Tubbo.
“Dream is such a bad man! But what is mute?”

“It uh..it mean he can't speak.”
Tubbo answers.

Ranboo watches this play out, his ears angled down slightly.

Michael questions.
“Can he still hear?”

“Yes, he can still hear.”
Tubbo responds.

Tubbo blinks and looks at Michael.
“But, so we can talk to him, we're going to learn sign language. It's a Language, but you use your hands to speak.”

“Huh. Weird.”
Micheal replies.

Tubbo teaches them both the alphabet, first 10 numbers, and the most basic rules for Sign Language.

Tubbo speaks.
“Now, both of you, go through the alphabet song with me.”

Ranboo nods.

“A..B..C..D..E..F..G..”
Tubbo sings a slowed version of the Alphabet song.
Michael gets wrong on a few letters, but is mainly understandable.
