Maybe?

"Do you not know?"

Headshake.  - Nod??  Not know.

"Uh, let's see. Do you still have any of your baby teeth?"

Permalink

Giggle; headshake.  She adds a sharp zigzag at the first figure's mouth.

Permalink

"Okay, so you're probably at least twelve. Do you have periods yet?"

Permalink

Blink?

"...I'm going to take that as a no, so you're probably less than sixteen. Does that sound right?"

Permalink

Maybe.

"Okay. I might be able to find you some kind of repository situation but child repositories suck, if you have any other ideas for where you could go and not immediately freeze before you have a chance to starve you need to figure out some way to indicate that literally at all."

School, Education?

"Yeah, the repositories usually have something that passes for a school or send the kids somewhere cheap."

West Springs School of Magecraft?

"- this place isn't cheap, unfortunately, it's actually one of the most expensive schools in town."

Blinkblink??

"And if you have any money you either don't remember that you have it or do not have it on you, which means you can't pay for tuition."

Permalink

Money?

Permalink

"Did whatever weird place you grew up not have money? Stuff you exchange for things so that the people you got the things from can go on to themselves exchange it for different things?"

Permalink

. . . Nod.  She starts to reach a hand towards her throat but reconsiders.

Permalink

"Well, here there's money. Some people work for the school to get their kids in, the groundskeeper does that and the librarian, are you hiding marketable skills?"

Permalink

Maybe.

Permalink

"What skills do you maybe have that are maybe marketable?"

Permalink

This time her hand goes all the way to her throat, but then she shakes her head.

Permalink

"I can't tell if you're trying to tell me that you lost an expensive necklace in the snow, that you're worried for some reason that you will be beheaded, that you think your sore throat or whatever will wear off in a few days and you'll be able to use complete sentences at long last..."

. . . She taps on her throat and Magecraft a few times simultaneously, and then separately.  Twice on her throat and twice on the word.
