Danger In The High Seas discussion

Alice came to the doorway. "Jane are you here? Umm...Is anyone here?"

"Guess not," Alice said, biting her lip. She was running out of places to look. She left.

Nino crouched down behind a crate of what seemed to be paper clips. His heart was beating faster than it ever had before. He munched silently on the bread, finishing it quickly. He risked a peek round the side of the crate...

Nino shook his head wordlessly and wished more than ever that he could speak. He had left his notepad back in the kitchen as well. His head throbbed violently as looked up at the angry man. He just could not match up this furious being with the nice friendly man who had given the nice anxious looking lady cookies.

((are you there?)

((yeah he's kind of a mute))
Nino simply shook his head dumbly again as tears of frustration welled up in his eyes. It wasn't fair! So many people who had words didn't know what to say and here he was knowing exactly what words to say and he couldn't.

Nino just kept on shaking his head beating his fists on the floor in frustration. He didn't know what he could do.

Nino looked up at the big man. And then he spied the crate of paper clips. An idea started to form in his mind and he started to pry off the lid of the crate frowning in concentration.

Nino took out a few handfuls of paper clips and poured them into his lap. He started to arrange them into letters. first an I and a M and then a S and an O and two R's and a Y. I'M SORRY, BUT I CAN'T SPEAK. AND I'M SORRY FOR STEALING THE BREAD TOO.

I WAS HUNGRY AND IT SMELLED SO GOOD Nino grinned back and rooted in his pocket bringing up a coupple of coins

Nino nodded vigorously and smiled briefly

Nino nodded again and followed Sloan wiping away his tears with embarassment

((are we going to the kitchen))

((Okay see you there))
