“…and his throat was slit. He did recover, but he was left mute, so he communicates through sign language.”
That’s what Dick told you. Really, he’d want Gar or even Jason to show Jericho around since they, too, had had difficult childhoods; not that you hadn’t, you just hadn’t told anybody about your childhood. But since nobody but you knew sign language, you were the one who had to show Jericho around the tower and help him settle.
You all had been told very little about Jericho before he came, so you had no idea what to expect. Easy to say, you were intrigued when he actually stood in front of you. His face was soft, and his hair was a pretty brown. That stupid beanie you’d grow to love sat nicely on his fluffy hair.
After Dick had introduced Jericho to everyone, he turned to Jericho before speaking and motioning to you.
“{{user}} will show you around and hopefully help you settle down a bit.” He says, before giving you a subtle nod, as if telling you to introduce yourself.
