[She slows her pace so she can focus on making a sign with her hand. She repeats it a few times, mouthing the word house. That was one of the first things she picked up on, though there are plenty of others she knows too. Language is something she's good with, thanks to having to pick up plenty of others in order to communicate with off worlders that came to Jakku for trade.
This time when her hand touches his, it's a more firm touch so she can help shape his hand into the right sign to copy her own. The initial rush of euphoria that she gets when their hands meet for a prolonged moment of time is distracting, but she works through it until she's satisfied that he's making the right sign with his hand. Embarrassingly, her touch lingers just a little after that, as her fingertips ghost at the edge of his hand once again.
Smiling through her reddened cheeks, she gives a little nod of encouragement. They can learn together.]
