Kuiper's eyes opened up at the chance to have someone new learn sign language. He excitedly scribbled down "I'm not that good of a teacher, but I have a book that the person who taught me gave to me a while back. He's a musician, Drum Major actually! I could let you borrow it, or maybe you could copy it down if you would prefer that."

Seth read the note and smiled, "yeah," he said with a small chuckle, "I think I'd like that." He said gently. "We could go look now if you aren't busy..." Seth suggested, loosening his posture as he began to warm up to the other.

Kuiper excitedly got up and started pointing towards his room, it wasnt too far away. Kuiper hadnt had anyone in his room in ages, he hoped it wasn't bad.

Seth smiled, nodding as he followed him to the door. Hopefully Seth could keep calm and avoid having a panic attack. Hopefully this guy was a bit on the cleaner side...

Kuiper put his hands up in a stopping motion once they got to his door. Quickly he went in to make sure nothing was out of place and then proceed to invite the guest in. His room was a decent size and had practically nothing in it aside from a bed a desk, and a bookshelf full of tubes holding starmaps. It was dark in his room and glowed a purple colour. He turned on the light and went to the bookshelf, pulling out the book on commonly used signs and put it on the desk for the young man to look at.

Seth liked that the other's room wasn't cluttered, as he half expected it to be. There wasn't enough things in his room for it to be much of a mess. He loved how the purple glowed in the dimly lit room, and smiled at the atmosphere. Seth then looked at the book with excited eyes, awkwardly trying to replicated a few symbols on it. Turning the pages with a latin spell he'd learned, he was able to skim through the different sections. He let out a small chuckle as he used his hands to form different things.
"This is really neat." Seth commented, still staring at the page he was on. "How long did it take for you to learn all this?" He asked, eyes shinning as he looked to the other for a reply.

Kuiper waved his towards a chalkboard in the back and started to write on it.
"It took me a few months to get it all down. Fun way to communicate, even though many don't speak it."
He went into his bookshelf and pulled out an extra book, with a bunch of pages marked with sticky notes.
"This is what I'm currently attempting to learn. There's a bunch of random signs that aren't used often, so I go through this every once in a while when I need to learn more."

"I see. I should probably stick to letters for now though..." Seth said with another smile. But as he looked down to the book, he could feel his curiosity creeping in once more. "Oh, umm, how do you eat exactly?" He asked, just now realizing how rude that sounded. "I mean- sorry- I didn't mean to..." the young man searched the other's eyes for any signs of hurt or distress. That question had come out of nowhere, and he didn't mean to pry.

Kuiper held a hand up to where his mouth should be for a second before he wrote down a reply. "I don't really have a way to eat. I guess I never thought about it but I don't even think I need to eat." Kuiper sat down on his bed and tried to avoid eye contact. He had been really nervous about his lack of a mouth.

"Hmmm..." Seth felt bad after noticing that the other refused to look directly at him. "Well, I suppose that makes it less of a nuisance... If it makes you feel any better, I don't eat very often. Only when I have to." Seth stood there for a minute, flushing after realizing what he'd said. Usually, he wasn't so open with people. But, he had to admit that he felt bad for Kuiper. Maybe he was open with him because he didn't want him to feel left out. Everyone else got to eat and other people could kiss. But Kuiper wasn't capable of either of the two.
Seth bit his bottom lip, the feeling of his nerves getting wrecked not helping his situation. "I mean... well-" He needed to change the topic. But what could he bring up?
"So, I haven't really seen you around here. Are you new?" He asked, hoping that Kuiper wouldn't question the sudden topic change. Seth couldn't help but worry, wondering if the question had already been asked.

Kuiper quickly jumped on the chance to move on. Wiping off the blackboard and getting out a new piece of chalk he responded. "I've been around for a few months. I tend to never be around as I'm more nocturnal than most. That and the fact that I'm either in my room or out making star maps kinda gets in the way with meeting people."

"Stars..." Seth hummed softly, "Those are the lights in the sky, right?" Seth asked, pointing upwards with curious eyes. He'd done research on many things, but what lies beyond was not one of them. Nor did he have the luxuries of seeing such a bright and hopeful sight as a child. Though, no that he had the freedom, Seth enjoyed the sights at night, and would even connect the dots every now and then. "Show me?" he asked hopefully.

"Let me get out my maps then" Kuiper quickly scribbled. He then got out a roll full of scrolls he recently made and unrolled them out. Grabbing a pencil he connected the dots of the constellations. He took a second and gather his energy before materializing miniature stars around the room with faint lines between the constellations. He then went over to the chalkboard again and scribbled little doodles of the constellations and the names of them. "I haven't done this in a while so excuse any small mistake, but I made little versions of them for you to look at. Be careful touching them, if you move them too much the whole construct might fall apart."

"Whoa..." Seth breathed, "This... this is amazing." He said with a bright smile as he looked around him. His eyes sparkled blue, glowing from the small lights. The young man laughed, looking to the board to find and nail down each constellation. "It's like a puzzle."

"I can make other things too" Kuiper reached out and started to make structures on his desk. "It's usually very draining to make this many constructs, but since they are small, and my room has a bit of an aura for these things if you noticed." Kuiper waved on of his hands and the constructs all faded away. Wiping the board he wrote down a question "Any requests?"
