"They do and they don't," Eddox says coyly. Slowly, they undo the buttons of their jacket, then their shirt underneath, revealing the smooth fabric of their binder.
"Color can augment tone, or communicate emotions. Sometimes simple ideas on their own." Eddox says as they repeat their words in sign. The black fabric of their binder melts away, first like liquid mercury, then bursting into brilliant swirls and shapes of deep aqua, lime, and cerulean.
"If I were to say, for example, 'I find you attractive, Sulen' but use these colors as I say it--" Their hands sign the words, and the colors of their chest ripple in light yellows and undulating black dots. "--Then it would be sarcastic, an insult. If I said it yet again--" The colors shift back to blues and greens, mirroring the effect of sunlight on the surface of seawater. "--Then this is more respectful, as if in admiration, yet with trepidation. And then of course, one can be more blunt." Eddox reaches a hand out and lightly runs their fingers down the curve of Sulen's neck. Their chest blazes red and purple, the color snaking up their neck. "Touch is important too. It implies trust. Sincerity."
Eddox allows their fingers to linger before removing them and saying somewhat flippantly, "But these are just examples, of course." Their eyes flick up to Sulen again. "Just used the first thing that came to mind."
