Garren again made a very pleased sound. He raised his hands, starting to sign before pausing with a small Aaa! of remembrance and hurriedly reaching into a small pouch off his belt. Very carefully, he pulled out a small, messy stack of laminated index cards, awkwardly shuffling through them before perking up as he found the one he wanted. Replacing the others back into his pouch, he held up the card for Jules to take.

Written in a very neat (adult) hand writing, the note read:

"Hello! My name is Garren. I don't speak, but I understand what you say."
