Hot Rod from transformers G1, drawn in a sketchy style. Dialogue reads; Sapphire; (off panel) Hot Rod? Hot Rod; Yeah, Sapphire? What's up?
Sapphire, a young woman with long hair in a crop top with a cassette tape on it, looking up, looking distressed, signing in American Sign Language, "Noisy", and another, "Help."
Sapphire looks off to the side, sad or disappointed in herself, doing the sign for "Thank you". Hot Rod reaches his hand over to her. Dialogue; Hot Rod; You forgot your headphones, didn't you? -She nods wordlessly- Hot Rod; It's okay, Firecracker, I got your spares in my glove compartment. Sapphire, in American Sign Language; Thank you.
She can't hold a conversation with it, but Sapphire DOES know a few words of ASL and falls back on them when she becomes too overstimulated to form sentences. Hot Rod knows what to do when this happens!
