Hello there! I wanted to point out something I added to the story! In chapter 4 of ‘A forest journey’ I wrote about Mafuyu signing. I was referring to her using sign language and I will try to continue this through the story! My thought for the au is that mafuyu at a young age didn’t talk so the people she was with taught her Sign language so she could communicate. Now with this you are probably wondering how emu understood her. That is really up for interpretation. Emu could have met a person who was deaf and wanted to talk to them, or she learned so she could tell all children her stories. I’m hoping to add a character who is deaf in either the future or in more stories. I think it is just a very nice thing to have and I don’t read often where fanfics have characters using sign in them so I wanted to add it! Thank you all for reading and I’m so happy for all your support
