Closed to Bucky

Arthur hates using his Bluetooth, but it's easier than trying to blindly wander around trying to find the man he's after.

Numbers nods.

"Alright," he continues. "We can start with the letters of the alphabet, then do some signs that'll be helpful in the field. Things like...'stop', or 'blood', or 'help', or whatever."

He pauses, realizing he's not exactly sure how to demonstrate how to sign to someone who can't see.

"Hold out your hand. I'll sign a letter with my right hand so you can feel the shape of my fingers, and you try to copy it. Got it?"

"Oh, uh-" Somehow he'd forgotten that particular step in the process, and a part of him is kicking himself that he'd neglected that blatantly obvious part. "R-right, of course."

He still hesitates despite himself, because it's just- it's a lot, to be able to trust someone with that. Even if it was Numbers, who had done nothing but help him with all their criminal bullshit. But he does, after a few seconds, reach out to try.

Numbers seems nonchalant about the whole hands touching thing. He forms his right hand into a fist with his thumb pointing slightly out, palm facing forward, then grabs Arthur's wrist to place his hand on his hand.

"This is 'A.' You've gotta make sure you're kind of...holding it up and slightly to side," he explains casually. "Clarity is important--picture it like you're showing these signs to someone across from you. Give it a try."

"Alright-?" The immediate impression that gives is of holding a photo out to show someone on a case, and he mimics that rough height. "Like this?"

It's a little close to his body, perhaps, but the height is correct.
