In a single break time, this boy had been all alone inside a big room. He enjoyed it here once there was no one around, he could be by himself and let his thoughts go loose. He let his hand run across the stones on the wall, slowly looking higher up to see how high the roof was. A smile got to him as he started to sit down in the middle or the room, something he wasn't... perhaps he wasn;t placing the object to the best use. He had his kettle with him and used it to drum a little on it. That was how it went the first few times. Later on it started to get towards a sort of drum that he could place on the ground and had to tap on the holes... But even that instrument didn't really strike him.
It took him a long while to find two instruments that he enjoyed with, the first one was a guitar, something really hard and could strum away. But the other was a simple flute, or rather... a 16 hole flute. The tunes were soft, but pure. The notes were struck just right at the right moments. He would be dragged away with the song he was making. It was safe to say, that in a short while this male had brought here so much time that he had learned it in a short while... Even though that was to see due to his homework he still had to do despite being on the end of his first year.
It was after the song he finally looked up and saw someone... He swallowed and wish he could just... Vanish through the ground, in a hasty movement he started to sign a sorry.

The professor clapped his hands as he walked through the room up to the stage where the Hufflepuff was practising their flute. The sound seemed to echoe through the room and he could hear from the hallway. It was what drew him in there. Curiosity got the better of him and he was delighted to see it had been the quiet boy he met back in the common room. "That was beautiful Nanashi." He bagen as he climbed up the stage.
"Did you come up with that?" He'd take place on the ground next to the boy. Already expecting some sign language he could not understand. Maybe Nanashi had brought some paper on his own. He had that book with him the other day. Doc looked around for something to write of his own. "Been playing the flute for long?" He asked as he continued his search. He found some leftover sheets hidden underneath a nearby chair that someone must have forgotten and an older pencil with a heavily dulled point. He handed it over to the boy with a friendly smile. He only wanted to encourage the student to a conversation. All casual, they did not need to be formal in here.
The prof would lean back on his arms a bit as he sat there watching. Patiently waiting for an answer from the boy. Of course, if he could tell the boy was too shy, he'd make his way out of there in no matter of time. He never wanted to make him feel uncomfortable.

In the middle of his hand movements... He stopped. What was the other saying? Had he heard that right..? A faint color started to taint his cheeks as looked away for only a split second. He wasn't quite used to gain some compliments, certainly not at these levels. A hand raised till a finger was at his cheek and started to scratch it. He didn't use any words but was hoping that his body language was telling what he was trying to 'say'.
He started to sit down beside this professor. He was the first one to reach out towards him in these matters and at one moment he wished he dared to ask why. Yet as how he was thinking why... Why had a deeper meaning but he wouldn't bother people with that. "Did you come up with that?" He heard the professor ask, he nodded brightly at that and started to sign again, but remembered at that same time that he didn't read sign language. A soft huff left him as he tilted his head. How was he going to communicate with him at this rate... Yet he was glad that the others had found some paper and a pencil around here as he didn't bring one himself.
Nanashi crossed his legs as he placed the flute on his feet. He would start to take the pencil and let it glide over the paper. Forming words for the other to read.
'Thank you, professor.
I made this song myself and have been playing this flute for a long while now I think since I am 7... I know a few instruments. DO you know any of them yourself, sir? And... Perhaps to make it easier, would it help if I learned you some basic words in my language?'

Doc smiled as a small "huh" escaped his breath while he eyed the talented boy. "Why yes, I would love to learn it." He nodded towards the student in a sincere fashion. As if to make it more official. His finger rose up and pointed towards an instrument behind the boy. "The piano" His finger moved over to the other side of the room. "And the guitar." Doc smiled friendly as he slid back into his resting position.
It was oddly quiet in the room now that the other had stopped playing. A testament to the boy's nature. Something Doc found himself respecting. He crossed both legs and sat across the young badger. "How shall we do this?" He grinned. "Have you taught these signs to anyone before?"
It seemed it had become time for the old badger to start learning again. Not that he minded that. His daughter would teach him many things of life itself. Realisation often following in her path to both him and her. She discovering the world and Caradoc finding the other side of things. Sometimes even a few forgotten lessons from his youth.
His eyes snapped back to reality as they returned their focus to his student. Or rather, his teacher. Both sleves folded up for action. Student Browne was ready.

His head turned towards the things that quite down around him. As the teacher sat down with him, the boy was left with a bit of a surprise. The fact that the other wanted to learn, meant a whole lot to him. A small sparkle got to his eyes as he started to nod, a smile got to him which had him from ear to ear.
"How shall we do this?" And Nanashi saw him starting to grin. "Have you taught these signs to anyone before?" He had to think for a moment, how was he going to write this down. 'I haven't taught it someone else, yet I remember how I got taught, so we might fail and stand up a few times, sorry in advance.' He would shift the note towards the other and think for a moment what would be easy... In his mind, the simple things would be the way to go.
He nodded a time or two and smiled towards the other, took another note and wrote down what he would learn the other. This lesson would mean the simple hello, how are you. reacting to that and who are you and of course yes and no... It might have been a lot for a single class, now that he thought about that.
'GoodMorning'
He would tap his chin and look towards the teacher, after tapping to his chin he would hold his other arm as the horizon and the one tapping making a fling underneath towards up. Looking in his own hand while holding up. He repeated this a few times and would look towards the teacher doing it after. Where needed he would correct the other.
'How are you'
He would fold two hands in front of his middle chest area and turn them towards the teacher, after that in a split second he would point towards the other. He repeated this in a slow-motion again and even from the side to give a good impression on how this would be going.
Slowly he started to tilt his head, wondering how he thought about these two signs so far. Hoping he didn't make it too hard for the other.

Sorry for the late reply, will add video's if I do not forget so you have a better impression what Nanashi will be doing.
