Annie is on her trike on her way to school.
This van labeled HAZARDOUS MATERIALS is also on its way to school.
The van hits a patch of black ice. It goes spinning, it turns over, it slices itself open on a wrought-iron fence with spikes, and it disgorges boxes which smash open on the pavement. Some of them skitter clear into the slush.
Some of them - along with most of the van - land on Annie.
There is a whirl of bewildering pain and confusion -
- and she falls to the ground, injured and in more kinds of discomfort beyond that and moaning.
She slowly starts to heal before the eyes of her sole witness.

Aww.
"I've noticed," he signs, which gives her another look at his face.

Good!
...Interspersed with looks at his face. He has such a face.
At one point she remarks, "I'm not sure the faceblindness thing is working on you. I feel like I'd recognize you even if a bunch of people were signing at once. Maybe just you in particular. I guess it's another artifact interaction thing."

"The faceblindness thing is weird and unsettling and I think I might like it gone," he says. "But I'm pretty sure I'll remember how to sign," he demonstrates, "'look at me', which seems like enough to start with."

That is exactly what Stalas is trying to accomplish! It's nice to be successful.

He's very talented.
And it has been a long day of runecrafting and looking at Stalas and the predictable consequences of looking at Stalas and eventually Annie is asleep.
