The nod makes Garrot start snarling because this is censorship, and censorship is fucked up, even when it's someone as exhaustingly high-strung as Xaljim. The nod also tells him that Xaljim seems to know how it works, and that it can be worked around. It sets off a lightbulb moment and Garrot's entire face seems to light up.

"How about a little monkey business? A little monkey see, monkey do?" All of a sudden Garrot is grinning ear to ear, his sharp teeth looking more than a little predatory. "I'll ask the questions, and you just have to nod or whatever..." Garrot shrugs his shoulders, "else..." winks, "matches..." gives a thumbs up, "my..." makes an explosion motion with that hand, "guesses. Does that work?"

And then he stretches out a hand, the entire gigantic hand, to offer Xaljim a handshake for this little arrangement. Poor Garrot will feel real silly if he just did all those stupid motions for nothing, but alas, that's kind of his life.
