( the creature sat to think, unsure of how to respond for a moment. he himself was still learning sign language and how best to communicate. )
( he perked up before signing out best as he could 'help'. )
( so no words—- but he could communicate. this was a step in a direction. the Bride just couldn’t tell if it were a good one or a tedious one. with nothing to fill her hands with, she crosses her arms )

( this gives the monster pause. she had met a lot of monsters and ‘metahumans’ and all the similarly titled in recent years—- but it had been a long time since one hadn’t been in speaking condition.

independent & heavily based off my own headcanons of the amphibian/creature from the shape of water
i use mainly he/it to refer to the creature, but any is fine to use when referring to them.
also, the amphibian is primarily mute minus for making clicking sounds +
