Talita: So is there anything I can do to help?
Gillie sits on the arm of the couch across from Talita.
Gillie: (ASL) Well, since you said you're FREE today…
Face deadpan, she taps the phone, showing their recent message history.
Gillie: (ASL) I thought we could finally get around to adapting sign with you.
Gillie and Idrisah, who is leaning on the back of the couch, both look expectantly at Talita. Talita appears frozen, with her eyes wide and her mane feathers bristling.

I love how this is like a no fear/one fear meme

for some reason i thought gillie tapping on her phone screen was her disabling her auto captioning as in like “now you HAVE to sign with me” but i zoomed in and its actually way better than that, she had the receipts pulled up and everything, talita please come through

It’s the future, the battery will probably be good for at least another day *fondly remembers the old Nokia 6510, can’t wait until smartphones get that kind of battery longevity*

Poor Talita! Her body language has always said she’s uncomfortable with that. Forcing her to do something uncomfortable is not good. Tricking her into doing something she clearly is uncomfortable doing is also a form of manipulation. When Talita is ready to do it on her own terms, she will but constantly confronting her is not good. 🙁

this may put a better spin on it: if Talita still doesn’t want to do it, she needs to articulate a real reason why (to her friend, who finds doing this important for their friendship) and not just make up a fake excuse and run away.

Amen 🙏 It’s honesty hour, Talita

Oh c’mon don’t overreact. It’ll be ok, Talita. You’ll see!

Idrisda I’m gonna steal that gorgeous lamp from you. Being from the future (and in space) will NOT stop me from getting my slimy paws on your trinkets! And your fish pottery AND your strawberry teapot! And while I’m at it I’ll take the funny looking cat sculpture.
Judging by Talitas face shes gonna try to back out of it. and also judging by Gillies face she is TIERED of chasing this interaction.

Well, that’s what we call an ambush.
Talita, the goose is cooked, throw in the towel, give up and give in, you will not escaping to this one.

Gillie, combining the best traits of a cat (ambush predator, lies in wait until the opportune moment) and a human (persistence predator, keeps after you until you collapse from exhaustion) is completely irresistible. Best to just do what she wants from the beginning.

Idrisah’s lamp by the door is very beautiful. (also i want to touch tali’s fuzzy antler velvet..)

Yeah, Talita, you’ve been saying you’d do that for ages and ages! C’mon, the three of you’ll have like a secret language. You’ll be able to slag off Ohwitiil right in front of their face! Get Cheevwut in on it for maximum bitchery!
