Loki shakes his head again. He doesn't care if it hurts, he just wants to talk! The one thing that was always his, his voice, his words, taken from him. Insult to injury.
They had talked about learning sign language as a family. Clint's hear loss seemed stable, but the doctors said it could get worse at any time. They were going to start when the children went back to school in the fall, the adults taking an online course Laura had found while the children studied it in school.
So many plans. It really did feel like they had eternity.
He tries to speak again, but this time the noises truly won't come. He lets out a whine that part frustrated, part agony. His throat is so dry, yet the idea of water still holds no draw. Nothing does but staying here in Clint's arms.
