[ Just that? This wasn't so bad at all, then. Dextera surely has his reasons for keeping his powers to himself most of the time; Lupin understands that he's been shown something that a lot of people in town probably haven't. Even if it was #FFFFFF forcing Dextera's hand, he'll take this little excursion as a compliment. And when the power shown was so mild, it doesn't feel like he did much at all. Still, he smiles, nodding in response to Dex's thanks.
He doesn't understand sign language natively - it's only the town's magic making him understand it - so it takes a second to figure out what happens next. Eyes widening just slightly, Lupin pokes a finger at his own chest. ]

[ it’s signed as hesitantly as the words themselves are—he’s taken this assignment of names as a quiet point of pride for himself, something all tied up in the way he sees people and what he perceives as a problem to overcome, but lupin isn’t someone he spends a lot of time with.
[ his face brightens once he confirms his suspicions, smile reassuring and happy. It's flattering, in a weird way he can't quite articulate; maybe it's just nice to know that Dextera actually thinks of him enough to come up with a word for him. ]

I like it. Thanks, Dex.
