Now ain't that the truth...and Seth knows it too, he himself is always frustrated by people not meaning what they say, well he did mean what he had signed but still.
Ugh, now trying to put up the facade makes him feel dissapointed in himself on top of feeling horrible.

He sighs, looking hesitant, but did actually sign what was bothering him.
"...It...hurt...when you called my puppets creepy. I don't want others to call them creepy or weird. They're really dear to me, so it hurts a lot to hear others view them so negatively...it doesn't matter that I can anticipate it now, after over a decade of hearing it, it still hurts just as much, if not more. I just...I want to be friends with you, you were so nice to me and actually know how to sign. I just...wish you wouldn't say things like that about them..."
He kind of hugs himself, while waiting for Gyre to respond.
